“Finland expects more Russian deserters”
They would be wise to thoroughly sort them out lest their number include “Little Green Men”.

VERY TRUE.
Putin used the same strategy in Ukraine that he had used in Georgia totally expecting the same results.
As similar to Ukraine, The Republic of Georgia had declared its independence in early 1991 as the Soviet Union self-destructed. The Ga/Putin military fighting took place in the strategically important South Caucasus region. The important mineral mines and manufacturing of Ukraine were coveted by Putin.
Putin had actually been emigrating Russian citizens into the Donbass region: LNR and DNR of Ukraine.
Like Ukraine, political in-fighting developed between Georgia and wanna-be separatists created former South Ossetian Autonomous Oblast under Putin-backed but internationally unrecognized separatists control.
These Putin-backed self-proclaimed republics of South Ossetia and Abkhazia region had started their war shelling Georgian villages in August after negative political relations had developed further between Russia and Georgiain
This Putin GA invasion war in Georgia lasted 5 days, August 7–12, 2008 and is regarded as the first European war of the 21st century.
