    It is absolutely shameful that as of September 2023 Ukraine is still fielding people like Denis Kapustin.

    Do you want Ukraine to commit war crimes? This is how you get Ukraine to commit war crimes.

      I mean, that’s just realpolitik. It’s more advantageous for Ukraine to have Russian nazis attacking Russia than it is to denouce them and deprive them of an operating base. Ultimately, the Russian Volunteer Corps’ interests are aligned with Ukraine’s interests in that they both want to depose Putin. As odious as it is, it’s the way global politics are done.
