Unfortunately we need some term to express what is happening; this is similar to using the terms "Germans" and "Nazis" interchangeably when speaking about WW2.

Unfortunately we need some term to express what is happening; this is similar to using the terms "Germans" and "Nazis" interchangeably when speaking about WW2. For sure it's not true that all Russians support the war; many are against. Yet, these are Russian soldiers who are killing innocent Ukrainians. If we use the term "Russians", this bundles these two reinforcing the Putinist idea that "Russia is me" and that the war is one behalf of all Russia and all Russians. This big lie will have great consequences for the future so maybe using the term "Ruzzian" for the population supporting the atrocities of war is not such a bad solution.
