Russian Mothers Still Back the War Despite Sons' Deaths
Original: Their Sons Are Dying on Battlefields in Ukraine. They Still Back Russia’s War.
The New York Times reports that some Russian parents whose sons have been killed fighting in Ukraine continue to support the war. The article examines how families reconcile grief with loyalty to the Kremlin's narrative, with many blaming Ukraine or the West rather than Russian leadership, reflecting the enduring strength of state propaganda and patriotic framing of the conflict.
Why now: The human cost of Russia's invasion and the resilience of domestic support for it remain striking to international readers.
