This soldier chose this fate and had a choice to not participate. Ukrainians wished to do a different choice, but have to do their duty because of soldiers like that one in the video to protect their families and their country.
Now's he's dead and a meme on Twitter at his expense.

We can all agree that Russia needs to get the hell out of Russia without a doubt, but we are also human and also see and feel the human suffering that is going on in all these wars across the world. There are a lot of Russian soldiers who, through no fault of their own, are being forced into Ukraine. It's just the way it is.
I can't wait until Russia hopefully loses this war but there is still a tragedy to all of this from a human level. Does you opinion change on the Canadian men and women who were injured or killed in Afghanistan ? Looking back on it, what the hell were we doing there? Plenty of locals didn't give a crap about blowing up Canadians yet the optics for us back home was different.
When political and militarily leaders force us to do things against our will, everybody loses
