One of those who has shown understanding for Russian President Vladimir Putin's actions is Hovsjö resident Milad Mardo.

- I do not say that what Russia is doing is right.

It is wrong to enter Ukraine.

But I understand why you get involved politically and because you do not want NATO at its borders, he says.

Blame the United States and NATO

Opinions in the debate are scattered.

Many say they oppose Putin and his actions in Ukraine, while others say the United States and NATO have provoked Putin's aggression.

At the same time, those who understand Putin's actions are based on their own experiences of the United States and NATO.

They believe that the Western world has caused havoc in the Middle East.

Without Putin, the Middle East would be destroyed.

He has done a lot for the people there, including in Syria, says Milad Mardo.
