I don't want you to be broken like my father," he said. their country's invasion of Ukraine. "We know that you've suffered the consequences of your courage. You have been arrested, you've been jailed and you've been beaten. You are my new heroes. You have the strength of Yuri Petrovich Vlasov. You have the true heart of Russia."
