Yeah, saying that they will be in action if they could die in action is pretty solid. Lost in translation perhaps?

I found this video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4838DPW9ETo&pp=ygUQY3ViYW5vcyBlbiBydXNpYQ%3D%3D

And they claim they were told they would rebuild cities destroyed in the war, but not take part in it. So they were expecting to go to Ukraine, just not as soldiers.

I don't have a lot of trust in any of the parties involved in this, I'm just reporting it.
