And this regime will finally turn our life into one endless hell. What\u2019s there. Already turned.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have nothing else to talk about with them,\u201d she said. \u201cOur own government is bombing our relatives, our friends.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Baronova said that she was stunned by how many Russians were brainwashed by Putin\u2019s claim that they were fighting Nazis in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI try to talk with people on the streets\u2026 they even had arguments like, \u2018We are fighting with Hitler,\u2019 but look, I\u2019ve got some news. Hitler died 80 years ago,\u201d she said. \u201cIt seems like they\u2019re really brainwashed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She also said that Western sanctions against Russia have started to change the public\u2019s attitude toward the invasion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople were in favor on [the] first day of invasion. Now they are less convinced and much more skeptical because they understand now that they are going to lose their jobs, they are going to lose their cars, their iPhones, their everything,\u201d she said. \u201cSo, let\u2019s see what that are going to say in a month \u2026 The whole world is in a bad position.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She said that the situation feels \u201clike 1939,\u201d which was the start of World War II, noting that it was impossible to know what would happen and that the people in Russia are \u201cwatching a lie on [the] TV.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
