(I say this as a person who is 100% against this invasion).
However the circumstances is that the IntelliJ founders are Russian, and it’s important to point out that it is not the will of the Russian people to invade Ukraine. It is Putin.
It is the will of _some_ of the Russian people. It has to be. It's people doing the invading. If no Russian wanted to invade Ukraine, there would be nobody in uniform invading Ukraine.
Sure. Just like it’s the will of “some” of the UK to go to war with Iraq, despite over a million people protesting against that at the time.
That people follow the government does not mean they agree.
And anyway there’s been a steady stream of propaganda fed to the Russian population, it’s folly to say this isn’t Putins will being projected onto his people.
The same way that the nazis got power with 30% approval and managed to use that power to go to war with the rest of Europe.
I’m not saying it’s not dangerous, I’m saying it’s not all Russia. And IntelliJ are saying as such.
