  1. I can't find one source for this that doesn't come back to elrisala.

  2. Even if this story is true, one asshole doesn't justify the genocide that Russia is committing in Ukraine.

  3. Even if this story is true, it happened long after Russia started their "special military operation" and can't be used to justify it.
