That said I would only volonteer in only few cases, when I both feel strong moral responsibility to go and when there is no official mobilisation. Back in 2014 I was considering going to Ukraine.

-considering-

Considering something does not mean doing something. Nor was I an active duty serviceman at the time, so even if I did go I would have been a regular volonteer and thus my actions would have been within the official narrative.
