  1.  @scld4649  He’s not a paid actor, but if he was, that sounds a lot better than being unpaid cannon fodder.

  2. There are other tactics, too. The Red Army would send a “punishment company” into an open area to draw fire and locate the German soldiers. Imagine marching into a field to draw artillery fire and being slaughtered so your commander knows where the German artillery is hidden.

  3. That’s if he returns to Russia. He should be offered political asylum by one of the Western countries.

  4.  @drsaint23  Next he will tell us that protesting the murder of civilians and other atrocities is virtue signaling.

  5. This young soldier has demonstrated that they have a way out: surrender. I think the West could do more to encourage Russian soldiers to surrender, like offer asylum and resettlement.

  6. These untrained conscripts are being sent out to be slaughtered so that the more experienced soldiers can find the Ukrainian positions. It’s a cruel tactic, and I don’t know how the generals could tell them the truth about this without facing mutiny. “We are sending you to certain death for the glory of Putin” doesn’t sound like a morale improver.

  7. Pray for them a little less. I don’t hate Russia or the Russians, but I am horrified by them. They have enabled this and except for a small amount of Russians openly protesting, they continue to enable this. Maybe when enough of their children come back in body bags or as cripples, they will be horrified, too. Maybe pray for that, that Russian citizens discover the horror of war and come back from the brink.

  8. That’s not true, but I get your point.

  9.  @RamMohammadJosephKaur  Ukrainian propaganda can be fact checked because they allow an independent press and international journalists are all over Ukraine covering the war. Russian propaganda cannot be confirmed at all because Russia has banned an independent press—all news in Russia is controlled by the state. There is at least the possibility that this soldier’s story can be checked. Furthermore, Ukrainian Defense has also issued corrections of stories that lessened their propaganda value. Two prominent examples of this are the stories about the “ghost of Kyiv” pilot and the defiant soldiers on Snake Island who didn’t die, but survived.
