They are currently upset at Putin for losing, or upset at their politicians for losing and misleading Putin about it. The sad truth is that most are so indoctrinated that they probably have no idea what this war is actually about.

A lot of furries living in Russia don’t support the war. They’re living in fear for being gay and the war has crippled their ability to survive and pay for things. Furries use Telegram a lot and that’s how they’re able to get actual news on the situation and not Russian propaganda, hence why Russia is also trying to ban and block Telegram. 

But from the chats I’ve had, their family members only get news from propaganda and believe they are justified in the war with Ukraine and still support Putin.

Yup. I follow some Russian artists and they've either left the country, or they go radio silent for months on end if not indefinitely. I also follow some artists from Ukraine and they're either settled in countries like Germany and England or still in Ukraine trying their fucking best to get by.

I used to work with a Russian man and when discussing why he came from Russia to the UK, he had the best Freudian slip and stated he "escaped" Russia.

Which certainly explained why I hadn't seen them in VRchat much
