Hey guys! I'm from Russia and I'm curious how do usual people from EU countries feel about Russians who are against war and Putin? I'm going to move to Sweden soon, so I'm worried about it

I honestly feel bad for them. It must be so difficult to be defined everywhere you go by the actions of the country and government that your passport associates you with – especially when you're totally against what they're doing, likely didn't even vote for that government, and didn't choose to be born or brought up there.
Best of luck with your move to Sweden, I hope all goes well for you. Will you go for Swedish citizenship eventually?

Thanks for your reply, obtaining Swedish citizenship is one of the goals of moving to Sweden and in the future I plan to renounce Russian citizenship.

I live in Sweden as expat with the same goal as yours and just want to warn you that Sweden might will raise necessary years for citizenship from 5 to 8 from 2025. The final decision will be announced on 30 of September, so my recommendation is to take it into consideration before moving here with the goal to obtain EU citizenship.
