I have no empathy for those people.
Those men have a choice, they could fight for their freedom in Russia. There's hundreds of thousands of them, and there's millions more with aligning interest. There's no reason to think it would be more dangerous for them to refuse en masse than it is to go to Ukraine, in fact it would likely be less dangerous, as the casualty rates for Russians in Ukraine are just horrendous. 300.000 men is plenty to take on Kremlin, now that the bulk of the military AND much of their internal security forces are tied up in Ukraine.
These men will rather risk their lives taking part in a genocide in Ukraine than fighting for freedom in their own country. That's their choice, and they deserve no sympathy for what ever happens to them when they decide to attack another country.
Cowardice is no excuse to take part in murder.
