The young Russians who disagree with the war aren't responding by resisting it, they're responding by leaving the country. They are "silent" - they avoid speaking out loudly against "the system," even though many disagree with it. There were and continue to be protests, but the resistance to war in Russia currently is nothing compared to, for example, resistance to the Vietnam War in the United States.
The young Ukrainians are totally unified. Desertion is nonexistent. Any opposition to Ukraine's current actions, no matter how small, is seen as openly and proudly treasonous. According to what little polling information we have, approval of the government in Ukraine currently exceeds 90%.
Meanwhile, Putin and Zelensky are Nomad/Reactive and Hero/Civic respectively, and their actions are exactly what one would expect from their generations in such a situation in a 1T.
Putin being typical negative boomer, he has always been committed to his mission of reconquest and returning his society to cobservative religion. Zelensky being very much the nomad pragmatist and realistic, adventurous, risky-taking leader is an effective war manager. Just what we would expect in a 4T, as with the young and midlife Ukrainians. Russians who could, protested, but Russia being a totalitarian country at war ruled by a gangster, leaving the country is the only viable option, regardless of generation.
