The "poor Russian conscripts" are actually, in the overwhelming majority, not conscripts at all, but people who go to war to murder Ukrainians for money.
"They have no choice" - what bullshit. Going to jail instead of bombing a playground full of children is a choice. Emigration is a choice. Defecting is a choice. When you are given a rifle and told to go murder Ukrainian civilians, you actually can choose which way to shoot.
But they almost always choose to kill Ukrainians because it's easier, it's within their comfort zone. Almost always, except for the few who shattered the "no choice" narrative to pieces.
