In this exclusive frontline report, I interview "Erick" — a former Ukrainian soldier from Mariupol who risked his life to escape the Ukrainian army by crawling through a live minefield to defect to Russian forces. Erick explains why he turned against the Ukrainian government, how he was forcibly conscripted, and why he believes the war began in 2014, not 2022.

Now a member of the Maxim Krivonos Battalion, a volunteer unit made up of ex-Ukrainian soldiers fighting against Kyiv, Erick offers powerful testimony about conscription, Western media propaganda, and the realities on the ground.

🔴 This is a story Western mainstream media won’t show you.

📌 Key Topics:

Forced conscription in Ukraine to "fight against his Own People"

Civil war origins in Donbass (2014)

NATO expansion and its consequences

Volunteer battalions against the Kyiv / Kiev regime

Western media bias and censorship

Crossing a minefield to defect
