Terrorist or hero? Even if France has officially taken up the cause of Ukraine in the armed conflict between Vladimir Putin’s Russiathe question of who are the heroes, who are the traitors and who are the terrorists remains unanswered. In one camp as in the other, war justice designates the good and the bad, but from an outside point of view, caution is required. What should we think, for example, of these Russian nationals accused of having helped or financed Ukraine? For Westerners and kyiv, they are simply heroes. For Moscow, they are traitors. And they will be treated as such. Head to the Far East for a fresh example.
- A Russian man has been sentenced to seven years in prison for financially supporting Ukraine using cryptocurrencies, illustrating the complexity of defining heroes and traitors in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
- In Donetsk, a man was arrested for similar acts, while a woman was jailed for espionage, highlighting the tension between Western and Russian definitions of loyalty and betrayal.
A Russian man was sentenced to seven years in prison for providing financial assistance to Ukraine…
In the Mirninsky district, in the small Republic of Sakha in the depths of the Eastern Russiaa story abruptly reminds us that war always draws new dividing lines between good and evil. It concerns a man, an employee of a diamond mine, who allegedly carried out fund transfers in cryptocurrency on several occasions to Ukrainian armed forces.
For the justice russehe would also have carried out activities of information subversives against the security of the Russian Federation, to which, of course, the Republic of Sakha belongs. After joining a group terrorist on social networks, he then received information to make transfers from other Ukrainian members of the group in question.
…and this is not the only case of its kind in recent weeks
For Russian intelligence and justice, this is obviously an act criminal and a criminal case of the highest importance:
“An investigation against this resident was initiated on the grounds of state treason in the form of financial assistance to a foreign state, international or foreign organization or their representatives, in activities threatening the security of the Russian Federation. »

In the same vein, we are now heading to the oblast of Donetskand the small town of Yenakievo. In this small territory, it is important to remember that the war has modified the geography and the borders since for Russia, this administrative region around Donetsk belongs to it since the 2022 referendum. For the rest of the free world on the other hand, it is still a piece of Ukraine! The definition here of hero and terrorists is even more problematic…
Regardless, this is where a man was recently arrested for financially supporting theUkraine again using cryptos. A criminal case was therefore opened on January 10 by the Russian justice system and the investigation will be carried out by the FSBthe Russian domestic intelligence service. Finally, a little earlier, on January 9, this time it was a woman who was imprisoned for having provided information on the locations of deployments of Russian forces around her home in the Kherson region.
In a certain form of impotence on the part of Western chancelleries, the armed conflict continues in Ukraine and continues to cause deaths every day. President-elect Donald Trump promised to silence the guns upon his arrival at the White House and we can only wish him success in this endeavor, even if the conditions of this peace will probably be unfavorable for the Ukrainian people. What will then be the fate of these Russians who have chosen the other camp? It is difficult to envisage any leniency on the part of Vladimir Putin’s Russia.
