I have sympathy for this man. He chose to live and now his whole life is ahead of him. It's going to be hard, first as a POW, maybe even as a refugee (he is probably considered a deserter). But that difficulty is something he can overcome. He was brave enough to surrender despite the spoonfuls of Russian propaganda served to him daily.
Also, great job drone operator. More videos like this need to exist.
What a fantastic level of humanity you have. “Orcs in the meat grinder” are (sometimes) sons and husbands and fathers etc first and foremost. It’s good to not necessarily conflate every single soldier with the regime.
We're all just caught in the gears of history. People who seek redemption and choose peace are profoundly heroic.
quite frankly disgusted with how uncommon this stance is in this sub
Let's see you get your home broken into by an armed gang and see how magnanimous you are to the burglars beating your family do death.
Reconciliation first, then sympathy.
