Your sources are fake and ridiculous. This has been addressed by better writers than me, so I will go ahead and quote them here:

>Not to be blunt, but this is an egregiously bad bit of trickery and it’s difficult to believe that people are falling for it. To begin with, this is an interview with a Ukrainian blogger and youtuber who goes by the screen name “Edgar Myrotvorets” - interestingly naming himself after the infamous Ukrainian kill list. The “Russian soldier” who he is interviewing is allegedly a gentleman named Yegor Guzenko. Yegor seems to be an interesting fellow - he pops up on social media periodically largely to confess to stereotyped Russian war crimes, like kidnapping civilians and executing Ukrainian prisoners, and of course blowing up dams.

>Essentially, we are being asked to believe that there is a Russian soldier out there who is giving interviews to Ukrainian media in which he confesses to all of Russia’s nefarious activities, and then goes about his duties without being stopped or punished. It should be pretty obvious that Yegor is actually Yehor, and is not a Russian soldier at all but a Ukrainian impersonator - funnily enough, Yegor also has a beard even though the Russian MOD has been cracking down on facial hair.

So the errors in your reply are numerous. First: The person on the right side is a UKRAINIAN blogger, who's channel can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/@edgar_ua

The rest are left as an exercise to the reader.

> Your sources are fake and ridiculous. This has been addressed by better writers than me, so I will go ahead and quote them here:

Your sources are non existent why don’t you link to these people writing these opinions if they are so strong?.

> The rest are left as an exercise to the reader.

And by the rest you mean all of it right cause you don’t have a single source or evidence of anything.

Here’s another source.

Your biggest mistake is to think that the Russians don’t want to appear as monsters.

They are more than happy to, so much so that when they commit war crimes like blowing up the dam.

They cheer it on and want their military to blow up even more dams.

Just like when they downed MH17 Russians were cheering on this destruction until they learnt about the disgust from the international community.

Then the switch flipped and people like yourself went into overdrive to try and deny more Russian war crimes.

Yes, because the Russian soldier who claims to have executed prisoners is going to be chummy enough with Ukrainian media to go and have a 30 minute live-streamed video where it’s quite apparent that they’re friends. And he wouldn’t immediately catch a bullet from the SBU for leaking secrets.

Oh, and here’s another question. The blogger says “our guys” - as in, the Russians. Why would a Ukrainian blogger be calling Russian soldiers “our guys”?

Was he trying to represent himself as a Russian news source? This would be rather bizarre, as he posted this on his YouTube site that professes to be Ukrainian.

The point being, the whole thing is a blatant fake, and people like you double down on their jingoistic rhetoric because they can’t imaging being fooled by such half-witted propaganda.
