Didn't the Ukraine regime kill one of their own negotiators for "treason" ? Ban all other political parties that could be considered a threat and said they were "Putin loyalists"? The dictatorship regime is clearing house to ensure they stay in power, but yes the average citizens could have done something I suppose. But it seems you get corporal punishment on the streets for such things, and plenty of soldiers are around in the cities with guns that won't take too kindly to suspected "Putin loyalists".
Most people with a brain have left Ukraine, many millions. Maybe they will come back once Russia controls it and they can feel safe again.
