Ukrainian TV presenter Oleksii Suhanov, who was born, raised, and worked in the Russian Federation and now lives in Ukraine, said that there are no "good Russians". In this context, he mentioned Maxim Galkin and other artists who left the aggressor country in protest.
Oleksii Suhanov on "good Russians"
According to the TV presenter, no matter how much help some Russians do for Ukraine, it should be remembered that they are strangers to our country.

"They can go out of their way to say that they are for Ukraine, bring tons of aid here - we should be grateful to them, but they are strangers. We need to keep this in mind: no matter how much good the Russians have done for Ukraine, they are strangers to the country. Because they did not get rid of their Russian passports. They may be against the war, but they are not against what is happening in Russia. And secondly, none of them has proved anything so far that they can defend anything. They are just talking," said Oleksii.
According to Suhanov, Ukrainians need to realize that they can only trust and believe in themselves.

"We cannot look up to them under any circumstances. We need to realize that we can only trust ourselves. There is no better friend of Ukraine in the world than a conscious Ukrainian," he added.
The celebrity also does not believe that Russia can ever become civilized.
"I don't believe in any possibility of the so-called Russia flourishing. I do not believe that this country can ever become civilized. I do not believe in the effective power of Russian culture. I do not divide the representatives of this country into good and bad. For me, they are either opportunists or impotent - let them choose, there is no third option. I do not want to communicate with those who live there, whether they are relatives or just acquaintances. I have no one and nothing there," summarized the host of the talk show "Whole Country Speaks".

Oleksii Suhanov, who started his career in Russian journalism, received a Ukrainian passport shortly before February 24, 2022.
And after the attack by the Russian occupiers, the presenter renounced the aggressor country altogether.
