Sure, videocalling with one right now. That's not what I've been discussing, I was highlighting the suboptimal wording that suggested there were none.

I'm confused about what your confused about. They were asked if they support the war, if they don't support the war then by default they are Pro Ukrainian. Everything else is just about degrees of support.

They wrote "they were asked about [their views]... those who were moronic enough not to lie, were deported", which reads as "not lied => deported" to me. Let's break it down:

Pro-Kremlin, lied = no claims; not deported, I guess.

Pro-Kremlin, not lied = claims they are deported; understandable.

Pro-Ukrainian, lied = no claims; wtf tho.

Pro-Ukrainian, not lied = claims they are deported; that'd be stupid.

Am I clear enough now?
