The former vice president of the Russian bank Gazprom was wounded at the front fighting for the Ukrainian armed forces. Igor Volobuyev is one of the Russians who left the Russian Federation and joined the Ukrainian armed forces after the start of the large-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. A native of Ukraine, he lived in Russia for more than 30 years, where he worked as the head of a state bank. In an interview with the German program DW, Volobuyev said that he does not experience moral concerns due to the fact that he is at war with his compatriots. "I did my job. It was important to me that what I did was effective, roughly speaking, that I hit where I shot, because I was a fiery support. I have no moral dilemmas. For me, it is the enemy. Just as I am their enemy. And if we cross them there, it means they want to kill me. And I want them out of here. I don't care if they are alive or dead, but the fact that they are not here is because this is my homeland," Volobuyev said. Volobuyev also said that he himself was a "victim of propaganda" and that he trusted Putin until the war with his homeland began. He believes that the senior management of Gazprom knew about the invasion in advance and was preparing to work on the occupied territories, believing that Ukraine would fall in a few days.
