Context elsewhere shows that he was conscripted by Ukraine. In this message, they leave some plausible deniability.

I wonder if the US or other Western countries have done any specific targeting of people they don't like in Ukraine for conscription. Like could they have told Ukraine to not exempt this guy from conscription because GrapheneOS goes against US interests of having everyone running Google spyware on their phones? I'm just making it up but I'd imagine Ukraine has a lot of people in it still that aren't ready to just be American tools.
