Her statements in the video suggest otherwise:

"[Russians] have a strong nationality", which to me means they identify with their country and consequently its government. This statement alone says she should be emotionally responsible for her government's actions as it indirectly or tacitly supports them.

"We are not an aggressive people". False. Your nation is currently waging one of a series of aggressive wars in the region of late and there are numerous Russian videos that show how common vehicular accidents have everyone involved (and more) exiting their vehicles armed with melee weapons (crowbars, bats, etc...). Not an aggressive people? Relative to what, the Mongol Horde?

Members of hostile Nations have a burden of proof to show they are willing to play ball with other civilizations. The very fact she's crying about the unfair treatment instead of asking 'why all the hate' and trying to dispel everyone's very reasonable concerns is another strike against.

If she actually sat down and learned what her country was doing to innocent Ukrainians, and publicly denounced their actions she would have my sympathy. Until then she is a citizen of Orkistan, raised to hate the West and believe her governments lies since birth and cannot be trusted.
