Rightly so. You don’t get to fight for a nation that threatens to nuke us and kills people on our soil without punishment
Keep him, the snivelling little shit ain’t our problem anymore
Are we supposed to feel sympathy for a man who started fighting for Russia in *2024?*
*Maybe* if it was just a fool who fell for the propaganda in early 2022. But two years of well-known atrocities on he signed up to fight for them? No. He made his bed, he can lie on it.
This is like the Shamima Begum case, except he wasn’t groomed into doing it as a child…
Greenandpleasant poster perhaps?
He should be treated the same as the people that joined IS.
What are we doing with British citizens who went to inflict violence on the people of Gaza with the IDF?
Why Orthodox Christianity? They’ve never been (to me) particularly vocal in trying to recruit, yet Jay Fraser converted and that seems a big part of why he chose to go.
Hopefully the Ukranians will get him first so that he does not have to make that decision. I think its time for another donation to the FPV drone fund to do my bit to help get this guy get out of his predicament.
If he keeps on talking like this, I can foresee a transfer to the Russian Airforce- flying out of windows squadron
Good. FAFO. Given that it reads very much like he was radicalised by Russian propaganda following a religious conversion, he’s lucky he hasn’t had the Shamima Begum treatment.
All the IDF reservists from the UK will get a warm welcome home after participating in ethnic cleansing and genocideÂ
We’ll be stripping them of their citizenship, and sending them straight back to Russia, right? Right?
No one who goes to fight for Russia should ever be allowed back in the country.
Not even if they’re dead.
How is it that someone goes to fight against an ally with a despot and aggressor, a country that has violated British sovereignty, murdered people on British soil and gets to return, yet a groomed, naive sixteen year old girl had her citizenship revoked because she went to an Arab country to marry and have a child?
Where is the consistency?
With a bit of luck Russia grants him citizenship at the end of his military contract. Then we can give him the Shamima Begum treatment.
Being pro-Russian generally means being anti-Britain
The guy is a complete idiot, a traitor, and really he should get the Begum treatment, although as he isn’t a Russian citizen presumably we can’t actually do that legally.
If he comes back here he should be arrested pending investigation on his complicity for Russian war crimes.
Only 3 months left…. Lol, the Russian army is like the hotel California. You can check out but you can never leave
Firstly what an excellent written piece. Rare to see journalism like that these days – just telling the story without moving into bias one way or another.
As for the lad himself – insanely stupid decision and he’s totally fucked his life up. Little chance he can move back here, Russia won’t want to take care of him. He’ll probably end up on the streets and die over a winter like many Russian homeless people do.
The only good thing you can say about him is he at least is willing to admit he made the wrong decision.
it was interesting to read his side of it, and his own internal changes while he’s there, but at the same time, he fought for a country that’s been an enemy of the UK ever since putin came to power. I’m pleased that he’s learned and that he’s passing on those lessons, but you reap what you sow buddy.
He made his bed, he can lie in it. He knew what he was doing when he joined up with Russia and he should live with the consequences, if that means his home country turns its back on him then so be it. He clearly thinks Russia is a better country and it welcome to stay there.
Let him come home and then turn him into the Ukranians and let them debrief him.
Hes a Shamina Begum or whatever the fuck her name is. Fucking traitor it is a shame he still has a breath.

That’s just sad, he essentially allowed himself to be brainwashed by nonsense right wing propaganda and then feel into the rabbit hole of fighting for Russia.
