"I have my set of views, it's a patriotic set of views, it's a traditionalist set of views, it's a right-wing set of views," he said.
FREEDOM OF RUSSIA LEGIONThe Freedom of Russia Legion says it was formed in spring 2022 "out of the wish of Russians to fight in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine against Putin's armed gang".
