It's also not a defence. They don't have to follow orders.

They can just turn up get recruited and then surrender to Ukraine at the earliest safe opportunity if they want to. Plenty others have.

It is not patriotic to fight a unjust war, it is not patriotic to just do what you're told without thinking.
