Nah the blogger was a Russian patriot who didn't have any relationship with Putin beyond being Russian. He was born in Donbas and took the Russian side. He is generally supportive of the regime and the invasion. He criticized some tactics and leaders.
You cannot dispute that Donetsk Oblast was part of Ukraine in 1982 when this guy was born. This guy was a Ukrainian citizen up until he switched sides in exchange for being let out of prison for bank robbery.
