In the 2017 video, the woman said that without war, Russian President Vladimir Putin would not stay in power.
Anton Gerashchenko, adviser to the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, shared the video online.
With the video, he tweeted:"Tamara Mikhaylovna, from Russia, says that because of Putin the whole world hates them now. I don't think that's just because of Putin. Thousands in Russian army kill, loot, ruin. Millions of Russians remain quiet." Geraschenko said that the video was from 2017, three years after Putin ordered his army to annex Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula. However, following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine last February 24, the woman's message continues to resonate.Russian President Vladimir Putin speaks during a concert in Luzhniki Stadium on February 22, 2023, in Moscow, Russia.
