It's mostly women, children and elderly being relocated by people who care for them and has nothing to do with allegiance to Russia.
But the U.S. does have moral high ground and is a clearly superior nation by any measure to Russia. Russia has gone from backwater to outhouse. 11th largest economy but with a per capita GDP of $10.1K. With Russia's natural resources, they should nearly autopilot to affluence. Putin and people like him are the problem, not Ukraine aspiring to a Western construct of society.
You can no more speak for what Russians want than Ukrainians you project onto. Russian people have been underwater so long they don't know what being dry feels like. Ask Russians HERE or any Western nation if they'd prefer Putin; at minimum you'll be laughed at.
It can get so much better than Putin, too, as Western society - and Russian feet - attest.
Russians speak for themselves through elections and polling. No, the US has no moral high ground after the last 30 years.
