You can and should have sympathy for a human in a fight for life... but id like to know how many times he's used the word 'Hohol' when talking about his 'enemy' in the last few days.
I wonder if [insert anything].
We only have what we have, which is this video.
We can make stuff up all day, but that's all it is, making stuff up.
This guy was in a very precarious, probably life-ending position, that makes me feel for him. I'd do the same for a Ukrainian in this position, too.

Here is a Russian fighting for his life.
If he wasn't part of an invasion force, then he wouldn't be would he ?
He has no moral right to be where he is. Could be a war criminal for all we know.
Just go home and leave people in peace.

I think it's important to maintain a seperation between the actions of Putin and Russian troops on the frontline - the majority of Russian troops didn't chose to be there and in many cases have been forcibly rounded up and conscripted due to their ethnicity and given no training as they're job is to be cannon fodder.
Buryats, Tatars and Uzbekistani's have been the main ethnicities Russia rounded up to invade Donetsk and Luhansk in 2014 - if they refuse they're deported, banned from working, renting apartments. They've faced historic persecution so very understandable concerns for the plight of relatives if they surrender.
There's no internet, free press or politics in Russia with journalists jailed and raped/tortured if they refer to the conflict as a 'war' instead of 'special operation' or quote any source other than official Kremlin propaganda so some are brainwashed into believing Ukraine started the conflict and is run by neo-nazis armed with bio-weapons and dirty bombs.
The footage is the reality of war but as far as I know only a small minority of Russian forces are there by their own free will.
