Actually surprised that Gmail is still working there. He is convinced that Russia is not harming any civilians and that it is the Nazi Ukrainians killing their own people. He tells me that the Russian people are 100% behind the war and that anyone trying to leave Russia in protest are not patriots and are only doing it for financial reasons. As a former fighter pilot, he has good contacts who give him good information. I find this amazing because just recently I saw a Russian politician being interviewed on TV who refused to accept that Ukrainian civilians were being killed. The Russian dictatorship has truly brainwashed their population.

If your country has been isolated from outside news, and you are fed propaganda every day that your country is in danger of biological and nuclear warfare from its neighbour, you can understand how ordinary Russians think. The Russian people could solve this problem if only they knew the truth.
Don't communicate with him. He's either too dumb or a manipulated robot.
I found this article which seems to debunk your friend's claim:

@Dave Sutton - Are you certain that he's not the one being manipulated? There is no doubt that the Russian military invaded Ukraine; a sovereign nation. Is he saying that Putin was trying to put a stop to a Nazi movement? While that is possible, I find it difficult to believe given his history. Then again, I'm an American. So, what do I know?
