I don't think that he's gonna have a lot of value to Russia. He's probably got limited military knowledge of interest to Russia. My guess is that he's got limited propaganda value.

I mean, Russia is probably fine with him being in the military in that they're having trouble recruiting, but I don't think that he's going to be more than one more soldier, in the grand scheme of things.

Yep. They'll play him up on national media once or twice then send him off to be a bullet sponge.

Or offer him up in a prisoner exchange.
