Mr Nikiforov claims he was acting not from conviction, but under the instructions of unidentified telephone scammers.
That's pretty clever.
Rules:
No sympathy with the enemy or its collaborators. Russian and North Korean soldiers are fascists committing a genocide. Remember that.
Objective and factual reporting from the battlefield, parliaments, etc. is encouraged, even if it's about bad news for Ukraine.
Insulting Putin and his cronies (Orban, Trump, Musk,...) is absolutely fine but don't use homophobic or similar language against them. Members of the queer community don't deserve to be compared to that scum. Also: Putin disciminates against gay people. If you do as well, you're part of the problem.
Don't insult or use overly harsh language against other commentators.
Don't submit direct links to Twitter/X and Truth Social posts. You may: Post a screenshot + quote, do a full quote and name the author, direct link to a proxy service like xcancel.com, deep link an image embedded in a tweet because Lemmy will cache a copy.

Ironically, Russia started this sort of thing (to my knowledge). See for example https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cldd7n97dvro where they paid random civilians to stage a propaganda photo. They never saw who actually paid them that little money. Russia considered them "disposable" and nobody cares if they get arrested or not.
Finally the fire is taken back to the ignorant imperialists.
Interesting. Thanks for the archive link btw!
