He was extremely articulate. He answered the questions without getting roped in by the journalist. His question about funding was inappropriate. I love how his voice has made such an online presence.

He was answering almost all of the reporter's questions. That's more than you can say about the current russian leader.

Problem is the journalist just isn’t on his level 😂

Excellent responses from the leader. It appears (like in most cases) the reporter had an agenda and was trying to present a narrative that wasn't true. Congrats to the commander for not falling for his gotcha questions.

[KyllisAugustus]

This guy answered every one of these questions brilliantly

[andreasmith]

He was very calculated and came across as intelligent with his answers to the questions from the journalist.The media fears a man who doesn't care what others think, This guy thinks outside the box and this is frightening to the elites.

[PCPAyLOAD]

I really, really like this dude! Great answers to ridiculous questions.

[hgarza]

This dude was on point. He said, he's taking the fight straight to his own government . What a world it would be if everyone would answer questions as truthful as he did.

[syproful]

They got quite the leader there. The last hurdle was flawless.

[MrSamfala]

His last answer to the question puts the journo in his place 😂😂

[pablochapo]

How do you know what russian people believe we are russian people. 👏

[luckymsibi]

We are with you guys all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦

[xyumyaaj]

It takes a small spark to start a Revolution. These guys are on the right track.

[Liberty]

I am proud of this Russian soldier for standing up for Russia

[kayjax]

He holds good logic and patience. His english is very pronounced as well. I'm interested in more of him.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, I suppose ..

[YesItsReallyKeith]

smart guy !!! refreshing to hear logic !! I applaud them for choosing and for being on the right side of history !!!

[WithloveTrinize]

Full interview please! I never thought I would see the day someone would challenge that man!

[Yukimaru]

Dude doesn't know how to ask useful questions. Like why are they actually opposing Putin? The war can't be the only reason. And getting some Russian to list off all the bs him and his friends have had to deal with would tell us a lot about how things are over there. But no, instead he wanted to know what he thought about our opinion of them.

Lets hope more Russians wake up to the stink in their country and take action .
