Deserted his people and country
From the sound of this Russia just gonna keep intensifying the war🥱
The AZOV probably have him on a hit list along with many American journalists and others around the world.
at our expense…great
Props to his father.
Meanwhile American citizens like myself are struggling with having their food stamps slashed down to nothing. Even Google knows how bad this story looks when they have to throw up warnings of community guidelines telling you what you can and cannot say before commenting. I'm struggling while this person gets to live the diamond life on taxpayer-funded everything! On my channel I vlog about the poverty I and many Americans are suffering with.
what a coward, you country is being invaded and you flee.
Much more success, brother, from oklahoma trump country. Lol.❤
Maybe also report this:
"Ukraine has canceled its consular services for all military-aged men living abroad. This means all Ukrainian men between the ages of 18 and 60 who reside outside of the country are currently not able to renew their passports or receive other important government documents such as marriage certificates."
He's hitting that age where Ukraine wants him back in their country to submit himself for military conscription.
I highly doubt that they will say he is an exception because of his musical talent.
cowards run patriots stay and fight
In recent years, improvements in the accuracy of translation applications have made it possible for non-native English speakers to mass post to foreign websites for the benefit of their home countries.
For example, mass postings to U.S. websites by Russians, Chinese, and other foreigners can have a significant impact on U.S. public opinion; by using IP addresses, administrators should be able to identify and control whether postings are from within or outside the country.
From a national security perspective, it is also very important for browsing users to be aware of whether all postings are from within or outside the country.
It is essential that there be a check box that allows the browsing user to identify whether the postings are from within or outside the country.
