According to the report of The New York Times, many Russian soldiers are deeply saddened to see the devastation in Ukraine. They had no idea that they would have to attack Ukraine, which was fighting a war with the Soviets in World War 2. Ukraine was once part of the Soviet Union. The Russian people consider them their own. In such a situation, news is also coming that Russian soldiers are harming their warships themselves, so that they do not have to kill the civilians of Ukraine.
