Ukrainians know that no matter how horrific the war, Russian occupation is worse still. Recall reports that Ukrainians POWs are now just shot on the spot, not mention the horrors of Bucha and other nameless locations, the looting, everything. It's incredible, Russia had so much goodwill in (at least parts of) Ukraine prior to Feb 2022 and messed that up so spectacularly. All the mumblings about Russia at war with the US only started once Russia was humiliated in the first weeks of the war.
