Yeah, it's totally impossible for Russia to register these using an Ukrainian VPN with Ukrainian ID. It's not like they have access to tons of POWs or even Ukrainians that are sympathetic to Russia.

So now you think that it's... Ukrainian traitors or pows? You think they don't deactivate clearance for anyone captured?

If you're going to make up fan fiction for Russia, at least suggest something more realistic, like espionage

Is registration only limited to military personnel? My guess is that anyone except citizens of sanctioned countries can register one of those, so you just need any kind of Ukrainian (or even non-Russian) ID, which are probably plentiful if you have access to POWs or the population of Donbass.
