Seeing Russians that have been comfortably living abroad for decades, yet march with soviet flags to support Russia and abuse Ukrainian refugees i'd think otherwise - close all the borders and force them face their own shitty government and their own shitty decision to do nothing about it.
There are around 3.5M people Russian speakers in Germany and around 2M of ethnic Russians. I haven't seen big anti war protests there but i've seen parades to support Russia.
Seeing photos of the queues at the finnish border made me think; what if everyone/finland lifted some of the visa sanctions to allow russians who would otherwise face conscription to leave the country?
