Grieving Russian Families Want the War in Ukraine to Continue
Original: They Lost Sons to the War, but Want Russia to Fight On
Some Russian families who lost sons fighting in Ukraine say they still support the war effort and want Russia to keep fighting, according to a New York Times report. Their stance highlights how grief has not translated into opposition to the Kremlin's invasion, complicating Western assumptions that mounting casualties will erode domestic support in Russia.
Why now: The counterintuitive stance of bereaved mothers and families challenges expectations that personal loss would turn Russian public opinion against the war.
