        Agreed that the US should not have started this by backing the 2014 fascist coup.

          It’s not worth even arguing with people like you that support colonialism and empire. I’m just registering this here that people can see straight through your shitty, projecting delusions.

            that support colonialism and empire

            I don’t support the US though?

            Did this war not start because the US backed the 2014 fascist coup? And the subsequent killing of ethnic Russians in Eastern Ukraine like Donbas and Crimea for resisting?

            These were the results of the 2010 elections.

            Eastern Ukrainians don’t support the current fascist gov, and even welcomed the Russian army as liberators in 2022.

    The more these things happen, the less people will defect and provide information about Russia

      I don’t know about that. Just like Navalny and other opposition of Putin, noone that does this kind of thing is under any illusion they will be safe.

      Would be better if they are safe though.

        This dude did it for the money and made the incredibly poor choice of leaving Ukraine to spend that money in Spain while trying to get his Russian ex wife to come. Deserting is honorable in this war, but I doubt many will care about this guy.
