British MI6 chief Richard Moore wants the Azov Battalion and other hardened Ukrainian nationalists to remember they're fighting for LGBT+ rights.

"With the tragedy and destruction unfolding so distressingly in Ukraine, we should remember the values and hard won freedoms that distinguish us from Putin, none more than LGBT+ rights," Moore tweeted on Friday as Kiev was coming under siege. "So let's resume our series of tweets to mark #LGBTHM2022 [LGBT+ History Month 2022]."

Introducing P: “I had to move for the job when I joined #MI6, so I was relieved to find out there was an LGBT+ network group. Through the group I’ve made some great friends in the office, and it’s reassuring to know it’s there for support if I need it.”

Is this supposed to motivate Ukrainian nationalists or demoralize them?
