If he lives in Crimea, he’s Russian.
He lives in Kyiv now. His parents are both Ukrainian. They moved from other parts of Ukraine to Crimea. More than a few Ukranians did. He posted this to his Instagram, “Donetsk is Ukraine. Luhansk is Ukraine. Zaporizhzhia is Ukraine. Crimea is Ukraine. Kherson is Ukraine. Glory to Ukraine.” One can wonder why he’s not in the trenches now.
No he’s not.
His allegiance is to Ukraine...he carries the Ukrainian flag, he wears Ukrainian colors.
And he always has.
