and the economic pain and shortages of goods on shelves. how are they responding to this and does vladimir putin still have their support? >> yes. there's a kinetic war going on in ukraine and an information war as well. that's why vladimir putin one of the first things he did when he became president was to take control over russian media. he wants to own the narrative like george orwell wrote about in 1984. that's been vladimir putin's focus. he's going to tell his population that the sanctions are the west seeking to keep russia down and they are sorts of propaganda, disinformation. what i found, the russians were very supportive of russia's annexation of crimea. that was because it was relatively pain-free for them. we imposed sanctions.
