He's saying, that by saying nothing, doing nothing, to him is the same as approval of the atrocities being committed. I think this quote says it best: Bychkov said: "Silence in the face of evil becomes its accomplice and ends up becoming its equal. ... To remain silent today is to betray our conscience and our values, and ultimately what defines the nobility of human nature." It's not everyone who participates who is evil, rather it's the people who instigate, ie. Putin. It's not even saying that all the Russian people are evil, it's about standing up for them too - those who oppose the war, and are suffering because of it, especially if they can't speak out themselves. The quote is from here. https://www.npr.org/2022/02/28/1083496491/russian-performers-speak-out-putin-ukraine https://www.npr.org/2022/02/28/1083496491/russian-performers...
