      Per the text, they’re not equally anti the Russian government as they are the Ukrainian government though. As there is no outcome in which any of Ukraine will end up in the hands of no government, a pragmatic anarchist should still be able to recognize that a democratic society will result in a greater level of personal freedom than one with a regime such as Russia’s.

      Conscription when one’s country is being invaded does not diminish the value of that democracy, as nothing less than that will keep Ukrainians from being forcibly assimilated into Russian society.

        The Russian government isn’t the one conscripting him or threatening to jail his comrades.
