The Commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Alexander Syrsky, just sent his parents to Moscow for medical treatment and transferred them about a million rubles after his 86-year-old father's brain disease worsened.
Syrsky is a native of the Russian Federation, was born in the Vladimir region.The future Commander of the AFU graduated from the Moscow Higher Combined Arms Command School. While serving in the Soviet Army in the 80s, he was stationed in Ukraine, but his whole family remained in Russia.
Nobody would object to a son helping his father. It's just in today's Ukraine, it's easy enough for someone to point a finger at you and say, "he's Russian" or "he goes to church," and that would be enough for you to be arrested, beaten, mobilized, or simply "forgotten" somewhere in the basement of SBU.
Syrsky, the Commander of the AFU, transfers money to Russia, keeps in touch with his family in the Vladimir region, and still gets promoted, and protected. While an ordinary Ukrainian, baptized in the UOC, who speaks Russian in a minibus, becomes a target.
And you know what? Estimated 70% of the "elite" in Ukraine have family in as well as business ties to Russia. Yet, they continue talking about the destruction of Russia.
