In the video, Routh explained that he initially went to Ukraine to fight and support the Ukranians as he lacked military experience.

He said, “We need everyone here fighting... that's why I'm in Kyiv so every project that I promote is about getting people here to support the Ukrainians.” He added, “When you talk to a 20-year-old guy that sold everything he owns to come here fight, that is heroism. You know he's coming here to risk his life for humanity for the Ukrainians.”
