Thank you, Everyone, for your comments. I posted this in response to Lynn and then figured you might not all see it, so am reposting here instead. I think what Lynn says, explains why I posted this q and a. I knew readers would push back. I wanted people to read what Russian people's thinking is right now. Or at least one Russian's thinking. A fairly prominent Russian in America. You can see in Kira's answers how Russian propaganda works, which, I think, is useful for us in the West to study and think about. I often wonder why Putin, apparently, has the support of his people, especially given the many ties to relatives in Ukraine.

This Russian model doesn’t sound like she has a clue as to this war.

The way I see this war is that Putin started it in the first place by invading Georgia, then a few years later invading Crimea, then a few years later invading Ukraine. Seems to me he’s the one responsible for killing the 80,000 young men of Russia and she is completely oblivious to that. I don’t get it at all with her?

What a moron. Wish she would go back to Russia right now. She is so misinformed. I wish organizations would quit hiring her.

Go have your baby - obviously a love child - in Russia, and let him grow up a brainwashed fascist. Imagine using your child in trade for a mortgage! Not one word of what Putin is doing to Ukrainians.....he is just so smart for thinking of repopulating his supply of war fodder, not stopping his citizens from being killed. What an airhead. Like John Cleese says "Stupid people are too stupid to realize how stupid they are." And Vicky now "has a lot to think about"? There goes her credibility.

Not her credibility. She is ending an interview with someone she might want to interview again when Putin is defeated.

Why? No American 3rd graders available? Or TikTok 'influencers'? Why would she give that airhead more publicity? Sorry, not trying to be argumentative, but I found that interview a waste of 4 minutes of my life. And I usually like reading that publication.

Not arguing either. You may be right.

Thinking Zelensky is stupid, counting on Putin to follow through on any financial commitments. She seems insecure, needed baby daddy to validate her choices. Not too bright, but bless her heart and good luck with that Russian Olympic champion 🤦‍♀️

Could you not have pushed back a bit?

Good grief! What a clueless airhead. Maternity capital. Sure. Canon fodder has to be paid for. Napoleon and Hitler knew this. Ukraine will have an entirely unforced baby boom once they get rid of the invaders. Putin, like the two megalomaniacs before him, has to pay his women to make soldiers.

Sorry I didn't read your comments first. I ended up repeating, and confirming, much of what you said. I was just so appalled at that vacuous airhead, that I rushed to comment. No wonder Russia is getting their ass handed to them - this is an example of what is coming out of their education system. Good grief. Vicky must have had a slow news day.

Kira gives you incorrect information about Maternity Capital if her son lives in Russia, she will receive it ... and if her son does not live in Russia, she will not receive anything, and in Russia she will not give birth .... and if she does then again she will leave her mother, who will bring up her 1st son. Here she is, Kira, like a cuckoo!

With those believes and attitudes I think she really should not be allowed to live in the USA or any democratic country. She is clearly pro Putin and taking advantage of both countries - employment in the USA and a maternity handout from Putin.
