comment: During an interview last month with convicted Russian agent Maria Butina for the state media outlet RT, Bout proclaimed his wholehearted support for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and said he would certainly sign up as a volunteer, if he had the opportunity and necessary skills.
  During his Wednesday interview with Komsomolskaya Pravda Radio, Bout was a lot more cautious, probably realizing that no special skills are required to be dispatched to the frontlines.
  
  "Man, I'd totally sign up! If only I could..."
  "Good news, you can!"
  "I mean, I would, but I lack the skills -"
  "Worry not! We'll take literally anyone!"
  "...I, uh, just need to check on something first. In, uh...somewhere else."
