A Texan father who uprooted his family to Russia in a bid to escape 'woke America' has reportedly been sent to the front lines of the brutal war in Ukraine to fight for Putin.
The family took advantage of a Kremlin-backed visa programme aimed at attracting Westerners who reject liberal ideals - something Mr Huffman called 'a fresh start in a country that respects family vaules' [sic].
But the American expat's dream of a quieter life in Russia has taken a dramatic turn.
Initially promised a non-combat role in the Russian military - first as a welder, then a war correspondent - Mr Huffman now finds himself alarmingly close to the battlefield, according to his wife. DeAnna Huffman said her husband felt he was being 'thrown to the wolves' given that he had only received a limited amount of training, and that it was in Russian.

Dad who fled to Russia to escape the US 'is sent to the front line'
Derek Huffman, 46, moved with his wife DeAnna, their three daughters and the family husky a small town near Moscow earlier this year after claiming the US had become overrun by 'woke ideology'.
hope he’s enjoying his new found freedom!
