I also found the whole thing more than a bit distasteful tbh and I'm a huge supporter of Ukraine.
Any lady that old is going to say whatever the hell she needs to to get soldiers (of any kind, I'd wager) away from her. Like there's no question she considers Kursk to be Russian so any Ukrainian soldier trying to get her to say "oh yeah, the Ukrainian army is great" and she does it is down to the power imbalance.
Like what was she supposed to say? "No lads, you fuck off home now" and hope for the best that she doesn't get shot?
They were asking for a ride. She speaks Ukrainian. I'm guessing she wasn't bothered by it.

Correct.
