No mental gymnastics involved. Could have sworn he supported it early on as the propaganda war raged on. He definitely changed to being critical of Putin's strategy as more information came out about what was going on and the impact it was having on regular Russians. There was a definite change in tone and urgency when conscription became a thing though. Doesn't change that he fled his home country because of fear of being in a war and is now quite hawkish on the prospects of war and killing in a country where he's not even a citizen. Or would you like to try and do a triple backflip trying to explain/defend that?
