is that it gives an opportunity to people from those former Soviet territories that have been bullied by Russia to fight against it.
Georgia on its own cannot stand up to Russia. But loads of Georgians are fighting Russia in Ukraine. And there are a whole load of other countries whose peoples don't wish to be reabsorbed by Putin's Russian Empire.
I'm very curious to know how many of the foreign fighters in Ukraine come from these former Soviet territories. My guess is it's the vast majority.
