Russians go to make some money.Ukrainians go to defend their country...Not too hard to understand.

[@Galy-0]

In December 1994, Russia signed the Budapest Memorandum where it guaranteed itself to respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, and to refrain from any threats to use force against its independence and territorial integrity.

[@norbertdapunt1444]

@@Galy-0 Russia broke both. However, it is irrelevant. The only reason any Minsk accords had to be made in the first place was because Russia broke - The Budapest Memorandum - 1994 - Russian Ukrainian Friendship Treaty - 1997 - Agreement of the Azov sea and the Kerch strait - 2003 - Russian Ukrainian state border treaty - 2003 -2004. YOU CAN NOT TRUST RUSSIA!!

[@tz3841]

I wouldn't blindly believe the "I did it for money" story. Many of those who say it only do so because they think it will make Ukrainians show leniency towards them. I reality they joined because they actually believe Russia should rule Ukraine. If they just wanted to make money they could have fought on the side of Ukraine.

[@natalieturko4808]

I can understand poverty, and the need to get money, but if you sign such a contract, you know very well that you are going to participate in murder, and the vicious invasion of another country. That's a hell of a choice to make.

[@gardenjoy5223]

Even right now they are offering conscripts huge amounts of money to just sign up (Inside Russia channel said it was up to 37 normal russian monthly salaries) and then they also offer huge monthly payments. Of course there are many positions open in russia. So many men missing already, that there is a shortage of workers in every industry! Plus they would make a very good salary for russia's doing in the industry of war supplies. But yeah, they offer SO much for signing to become a soldier, that many sell their souls to the devil and decide to become mass murderers. Their wives dream of how they are going to spend all that money, willing to take the risk. For they don't know how high the risks are. "From russia with love".
