Girkin may go to war against Ukraine

The Russian separatist’s lawyer, Alexander Molokhov, noted that his client, after the so-called “special military operation” began, repeatedly said that he wanted to go to the front. At the same time, according to the lawyer, for Girkin “they created such conditions – provocative, offensive, that he could not get to the front.”

Molokhov noted that he does not rule out that “as a result of these events, common sense will prevail and the military man will be given the opportunity to act as he sees fit.” In addition, the lawyer of the former FSB officer noted that the option of parole from the colony is being considered for Girkin.
