Context elsewhere shows that he was conscripted by Ukraine. In this message, they leave some plausible deniability.

We avoided specifying the country or war to avoid involving GrapheneOS in a debate on forced conscription in an existential defensive war.

Definitely Ukraine, this is the language used when discussing Russian SMO from the Ukranian govt. side. The war of attrition will continue to have disastrous, existential effects on Ukrainian society unless the Ukraine comes to the negotiating table. At this point, being under full Russian occupation would be a better fate than the current situation (US neocolonial extraction of ukraine's natural resourcs, nazification embedded within the govt, many citizens fleeing abroad and may never return at this point after years).

I use GrapheneOS on my resale Pixel 7a as it's the closest I can get to my own computing while also not being cut off from society demanding I download the latest app spyware to participate.
