I consider War crimes tribunals tedious time-wasters. They tend to bend over backwards for the accused, providing them with lawyers who are intent on testing the law to the nth degree, and as is their wont, demonstrably indifferent to the brutal (disputed) facts presented by the prosecution. That is the Law - and it sucks. It has been hijacked by avaricious grandstanders.

Of course he did. Its not easy to get rid of your brainwash and then flee an active warzone while your own troops as well as the enemy is trying to kill you and even when you succede leave your family, friends, everything behind, beeing the rest of your life in fear of retaliation. You do need to reach a point of absolute desperation to leave. If you have the outlook that in a couple of month the horror is over and the reward - a "normal" life - can be claimed, then its only natural to stay. Therefore he did his 6 month of service. Then he saw that they wont let him leave as they promised and the only outcome is death or crippled. This is not "it wasnt about moral choice" its an addition to the moral reasons. To go public is what makes him brave.

It is hard for him to be a spy, as a lot of his story were checked and verified by people like Vladimir Osechkin, a Russian human right activist with a lot on insiders in Wagner, FSIN and FSB. So it would be difficult to say that you were on the front line or were put there in a box for defiance, as other people were there to witness that and they can just verify or deny that information. And no sane spy is going to be willing to join Wagner on the most deadly part of the frontline and then be 1 step away from death. The only way for him to be a spy if he were to be recruited after he escaped Wagner by threatening to kill his mom unless he works for FSB or something like that. But he's an orphan with nothing and nobody and there's not a lot of leverage you can find on him.

During the height of the pandemic, our lawmakers debated for weeks regarding the miserable pittance the government paid out in the form of stimulus checks, yet approved the Ukraine support almost instantly. What's more, each time a new form of aid is granted to Ukraine, they immediately ask for more.

I'm pretty sure he's going to do his best not to implicate himself in any of these thousands of atrocities committed by Russia. Especially if any of these high end criminals are ever apprehended and brought to trial at the Hague. If he has to lie like a yellow dog to keep his neck out of a noose I'm pretty sure he's not beneath it. If he were offered immunity from prosecution to testify at their trial THEN we would hear the real truth. Edit Also, if he gets on international TV and starts rattling off and putting names with specific, heinous atrocities and, for whatever reason, gets sent back to Russia, he wouldn't last a snowballs throw into hell. So, he's going to be cautious with what he's saying.

The answer to the question @ 2:50 is most definitely a yes.

There is something fishy here. He is solely interested in saving his own life, he didn´t defect to bring any justice to anyone.

People die in Ukraine for American/USA political and economic interests. Ukraine was a state in the USSR, - the east of that Ukraine region was and is substantially ethnic Russian, and eastern Ukraine was part of Russia from the late 1700's till about 1922, but was not Ukraine prior to 1922, and was a state within the USSR till 1991. That's Russia's neighborhood. They're not going to let Crimea and the Donbas(and thereabouts) go to The West. Btw, I'm in The West, military central in SoCaL. But, east Ukraine region is historical Russian lands. That's Russia's core neighborhood. Leave it to them,… in peace. The issue here is eastern Ukraine plus Crimea, which is historical Russian land since the 1700's to about 1922, and Russia having a naval base in Crimea since the 1700's. Then the USSR happened, with Russia being the big dog state of the USSR, Ukraine being another state. And, the Russian Ruling Elite don't want The West to have that land by way of Ukraine. It's prime real estate, with a substantial Russian history and ethnic-Russian population, and it's a core of Russian history, it's core Russian neighborhood. Russia is taking a stand on multi-polarity of the world, along with China, in counter to The West / USA.

Вечером 30 января в топовой новостной программе CNN один из самых известных журналистов США Андерсон Купер выступил экс-командир 1-го отделения 4 взвода 7 штурмового отряда "ЧВК Вагнер" Андрей Медведев, который на многомиллионную аудиторию на весь мир рассказал о пытках и внесудебных казнях в "Wagner" и о причастности лично Евгения Пригожина к созданию этой террористической организации, которая убивает за отказ от участия в войне. Также Андрей рассказал, каким именно образом он смог покинуть РФ и преодолеть целый ряд барьеров и пограничных постов, чтобы в итоге сбежать в Норвегию и запросить политическое убежище и защиту от "кувалды Пригожина". Это первое ТВ-интервью Андрея с момента его побега из РФ, до этого на протяжении более 2 недель он был занят, давая показания миграционной службе, следователям и иным сотрудникам международной правоохранительной системы об известных ему фактах военных преступлений и преступлений против человечности, совершенных российскими подразделениями в Украине. Сразу после CNN поздним вечером Андрей также встретится и дал интервью журналистам норвежского ТВ. Огласка преступлений и разоблачение преступных схем Пригожина-Путина имеют важное значение для прекращения войны. Мы делаем то, что можем. И анонс. В четверг мы опубликуем 2-часовое интервью с теперь уже экс-командиром одного из подразделений дивизии МинОбороны РФ и офицером Российской армии, который с нашей помощью покинул Россию и решился давать показания о том, как российские полковники и их подчинённые подвергали пыткам и жестокости украинских военнопленных, били и пытали пленных военнослужащих 36 бригады морской пехоты и гражданских, а также простреливали им руки и ноги и ломали носы, выбивая из них "нужные Путину" показания о якобы "нацистах Украины".

So, these guys are given their orders to "go capture this town" and they are to formulate their own battle strategy with zero intel. Good God. No wonder Prigozin told them that if they fight in Ukraine they'll go free in 6 months. He knows they'll be dead in 6 days IF they last that long.

Where is he living now? Or, where did he defect to?

Andrei's facial expression, his eyes, look how relaxed and confident he is in this interview, not nerveous in any way. There are some things you can't hide if you are not specifically trained to do so (there's no reason to believe that he is). Andrei is clearly being honest in his responses. It's an individual question whether he deserves sympathy, but we must have empathy for him. He ultimately did the right thing.
