Daniel Richard Martindale, a U.S. citizen accused of aiding Russian military operations inside Ukraine, has been granted Russian citizenship by decree of President Vladimir Putin. The announcement was made Tuesday in Moscow, where Martindale was shown on state television receiving his Russian passport.
Martindale, who reportedly transmitted Ukrainian military coordinates to Russian forces during the war, was praised by Russian officials for his loyalty and direct support of Kremlin objectives in eastern Ukraine, News.Az reports, citing Reuters.
Denis Pushilin, the Moscow-installed leader in occupied Donetsk, handed Martindale his new citizenship documents and expressed personal gratitude, stating: “This is a sign of respect and a sign of gratitude for what Daniel has done. He is one of us.”

“I, Daniel Richard Martindale, voluntarily and consciously, accepting the citizenship of the Russian Federation, swear to observe the constitution,” he said in Russian, holding up his new passport in a televised ceremony. “Russia is not just my home, but also my family.”

Nah ... HG was/is a dork, but not a traitor.
ZEEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!(((PING!)))
Ukraine is fairly good at knocking off enemy officials. Beware foolish man.
He was then snatched by a military press gang on the street outside the studio, to fulfill his compulsory military service...
Routh lived in a fantasy world and never recruited anyone for anyone, and never did anything except try to contact world leaders and celebrities with wild claims of having 50,000 afghani mercenaries to supply, of trying to personally buy Poland’s MiG-29 fighter jets and then “fly them at night just above ground”, and recommending buying sniper rifles off of Amazon, offering to negotiate for world leaders to create peace, etc., etc.

The Ukes can tag any person they want within Russia. I wouldn’t have wanted this public.
There was another guy like him from Texas last year who ended his adventure by getting raped by Chechens, machine gunned into hamburger meat and then his remains thrown down a well.
I wonder how many Putinistas on Free Republic wish they were this guy?
“This is a sign of respect and a sign of gratitude for what Daniel has done. He is one of us.”
As Daniel is one of them, he should get ready for being anal raped, fly out of window and all other benefits of being a Mongol.
Hilariously, he was previously deported from Russia:
“Martindale, now in his early 30s, has a complicated history with Russia. Raised by missionary parents in rural China, he made an early visit to Russia’s Far East that reportedly sparked his interest in the country. In 2018, he moved to Vladivostok to study Russian and teach English, but was deported a year later for violating labor laws.”
Good riddance.
