To overcome Putin's regime is a goal for people inside the country and outside.
It's not possible to win him with flowers.
It's people with weapons needed.
I'm in federal wanted list.
I have the third criminal case and sentence which been opened last year and a month ago.
I was sentenced to 13 years and 15 days of penal colony.
So that means that if I'll appear on the border,
I'll go straight there.
I've heard the speech of Vladimir Putin with the declaration of full-scale war.
Against Ukraine?
Against Ukraine.
I desperately didn't want to leave the country for freedom of what I'm fighting.
At the same time, I do understand that this is the war.
If you take a side inside the country, that means that you're imprisoned, in my case, forever.
I was thinking when I got the sentence in absentia, I was thinking what it is to be in the country, actually, because politically I'm in the country.
They opened this case and they gave me a sentence.
Physically, I'm not there.
And millions and millions of people are there.
But they politically are not there because they cannot speak because they physically will go to prison.
So it's permanent, very brutal and dangerous self-censorship.
