As Sychov himself explained, his motivation to stay with the Ukrainian soldiers was the realization that the Russian command had given orders not to take prisoners.
He understood that Russian troops could kill him along with the Ukrainian defenders.

He was part of the russian army, then fought with an officer and was send to the front instead of being sentenced.
He then surrendered and then:
So to summarize; he was part of the army (you can’t know the reason why, might have been simply to provide for his family), then he was forced to the frontline and finally he joined the Ukrainian army mainly in a maintenance role seemingly.
I’m not saying you are 100% certainly wrong, just saying you are assuming a lot.
That’s what plenty of people do here on Lemmy, though. And from my experience, their inventive narratives are always wrong. Not just wrong, but often as polarised from the truth as could be.
I think it’s an echo chamber thing. They just assume everything is like how it is in their feed. That view makes the building blocks for a narrative out of nothing. Suddenly the claim is made a person likes killing when there’s nothing indicating that or even a reason to bring it up. Their head just goes there for some reason and with confidence to boot. Weird.
No that other guy was assuming, I was just trying to explain, these people that invade or are forced to invade and kill they are taking part in a machine of death
