1.Looks like he didn't slip away. He doesn't appear to escape. I'm sure as soon as the camera cuts off he's being clubbed down and stuffed in the white van.
2. He's never going to be an f16 pilot. Way too much time and training involved. He'll be sent off to the front after about 2 weeks of training and maybe shooting 200 practice rounds to most likely never been seen from again. He's just a meat bag to be a bullet magnet to slow down the Russians.
The entire situation sucks. I don't understand how people can still be cheering this on. Be pragmatic the best possible thing for Ukraine right now out of the realistic options not some absurd pie in the sky fantasy of driving the Russians back across the border is to broker a Peace deal now. Save what's left of Ukraine and the men in that country.
Yes, it does appear police lead him away in the end and obviously he is not someone who they will waste resources on pilot training. It's a caricature on idiocy of Ukrainian puppet state and how U.S. government, media and military leadership are detached from reality.
Russia will never accept a hostile terrorist state on its historic territory, populated by its own ethnos and the West will block any peace deal.
Ukrainians are getting tired of being used by the West. At some point anti-West movement will take control and make a deal with Russia.
As the saying goes: close neighbor is more important than far relative.
