“I believe that every soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine wounded in battle should be awarded a NATO medal with an American flag and a portrait of Zelensky holding bags of money to remind them what they are fighting for,” RIA Novosti quotes Draven on Twitter.

He noted that he was praying for the safety of the Russians and for the Ukrainian army to stop fighting "against its own interests and on behalf of the West."

Draven had previously said that Russia and Ukraine could coexist peacefully if not for Western intervention.
