  1. Russian side guy is not a finnish citizen, altough has lived in finland and can speak finnish.

  2. – I found a new friend from the factory of Vovtšansk. Wanna introduce yourself?

    – yeah so my name is *blurred*, lived in Finland almost all my life. Somehow ended up here through Russia

    – So youre now in the Russian armed forces?

    – yes

    – which unit?

    – Prigade 128, section Sturm-V

    – what year were u born?

    – *blurred*

    – How has the Russian army treated you?

    – So beautiful words, i cant really even say. We were thrown out here like wet blankets and left to dry on our own. All the wounded are just lying around diying. I already have two injuries, a bullet wound and a fragment wound (mortar). Cant see anything with my other eye. Nobody gives a fuck.

  3. I feel like the fin dude on the right has the moral and legal obligation to kick some sense into the fin guy on the left.

  4. I wonder how they just dragged him in the war in the first place, is he like one of those dual citizenship fellows who just happened to have russian passport with him during travel? Or a stupid volunteer? Ei jumalauta

  5. Genuinely confused on how a Fin ended up there doesn’t make sense for even the dumbest Finnish to join the Russians.

  6. In finland they have saying “a ork is a ork even when fried in butter” or something along those lines. Very true it seems.

  7. Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat did a piece on these two (https://www.hs.fi/kirjeenvaihtajat/art-2000010760071.html , behind pay wall).

    In short, the russian’s story is that he was born in Soviet Union, family moved to Finland when he was young. Never got Finnish citizenship because of drug convictions. He moved back to Russia as an adult, started selling drugs, ended up in prison, and from there, to the front lines.

  8. There was an article in the finnish Helsingin Sanomat newspaper. He is referred as “Jari” in the article. He was born in the soviet union, but his family moved to finland when he was young at the end of the 80’s. Because of his track record in crimes he was never handed the finnish citizenship. He had a finnish girlfriend which later became his wife. But he never felt like he fitted in in finland. Later he started using drugs and decided at one point in the year 2017 to move to russia without even speaking russian. He’s criminal behaviour followed him to russia and eventually he was jailed for selling drugs. He got 12 years prisonment. After couple of months he was asked if he wanted to rot in the prison or take part of the special operation. Having more than 11 years to serve left, the decision was obvious. He would join the russian army.

    He got a two week training and sent to Kharkiv, where he was captured in the city of Vovtšank.

    Here’s the full article (it’s in finnish): https://www.hs.fi/kirjeenvaihtajat/art-2000010760071.html

  9. Wow. I never expected to hear Finnish language in this sub. The blurred guy has an accent I can’t point in the map. Half Estonian maybe?
    Edit: Another comment said he was born in Soviet Union, so Estonia is possible, right?

  10. Not the sharpest tool in the shed if you give up living in Finland for a “deluxe” Russia arms carreer imo

  11. Those booms in the back sound like explosions. Specifically hearable at around 0:12 seconds. Are they interviewing him while being attacked?

  12. I get them in Australia (Russians) they just love Putin and think the country is just the greatest and the most powerful in the world. Hard to understand ignorance in kind fashion.

  13. As a Finn from Vaasa, I would have final solution for this case. All of you know it too. Ryssän kätyri saunan taakse!

  14. This guy moved to Finland decades ago, and made crimes here, so he was in prison. Then moved back to Russia, and continued committing crimes there too, and was in prison once again. You reap what you sow.

  15. “Vaasa”(on the right) is a true hero. The dude on the left is a disgrace for Finland, WTF is he doing in the Russian army?
