"We are Anonymous.
You are trapped behind an iron curtain of propaganda and your government is trying to keep you from participating in the international dialogue for fear of what you might find out. Many of you may not even know the real reasons behind the recent bank runs and economic problems your country is facing. We have received reports that global events receive very little airtime in the Russian media, despite Russia being at the center of a global crisis.
The Vladimir Putin regime has been committing war crimes with its recent invasion of Ukraine, which triggered a massive refugee crisis and countless deaths. If you already know about the war, you may have been told that NATO is to blame for this dispute. It may be true that NATO is to blame for much of the military violence that is taking place all over the planet, but this is one of the rare cases where they are truly on the defensive. The history and position of NATO in Europe do not justify full-scale bombing and Putin's invasion of a neighboring sovereign country.
Putin's aggressive actions in Ukraine have caused outrage around the world, which is why sanctions against the country have been tightened. Unfortunately, this is a terrible strategy that governments around the world have adopted because sanctions will not hurt Putin, they will only hurt ordinary people like you who are not responsible for this war. Most rational people around the world understand that you are not to blame for your leader's actions. In fact, we see many of you protesting the war and resisting in various other ways, risking more than ten years in prison or worse if you get caught.
Most people in the world want peace. The only people who want war are those who have power and can benefit from it. Other countries in the world are waging an economic war against Russia to prevent the Putin regime from succeeding in Ukraine, and it will only get worse from there. It's a terrible situation you're in, but your only way to prevent an impending economic collapse and potential world war is to take action to confront the war, the regime, and Vladimir Putin.
The world does not want you to suffer, but unfortunately our governments are treating us all like pawns in their great game of chess, and Putin has sacrificed the population of Russia. For now, the most peaceful way to end this conflict would be for the people of Russia to rise up against Putin and remove him from power. We have your back and will provide cyber assistance throughout the fight."
