Семён is a Russian variant of the name Simon.
The Russian terrorist state did not sign or ratify the Ottawa Treaty. It uses anti-personnel mines extensively.

Under the Budapest Memorandum, Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons in exchange for security assurances from the nuclear-armed states.

Those security assurances are valueless if they’re not equal in magnitude to the power Ukraine would possess if it had retained nuclear weapons.
Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014, violating the Budapest Memorandum. The US, Britain, France and China failed to make good on their promise.

As a consequence, the rules-based international order in place since 1945 collapsed. Nuclear non-proliferation is dead. The world is at war.
Western political and intellectual elites over-state NATO and Article 5 and ignore the Budapest Memorandum and its security assurances.

The Russian terrorist state exploits this fatal flaw in the fabric of global peace to devastating effect.

Although these traitors to Ukraine have Russian passports they're not allowed to enter the Russian Federation. Twice cursed.
The Mayor of Melitopol', Ivan Fedorov, said in at TV interview: "We see panic among the occupiers." He reported a large number of cars left Crimea and are going to the Russian Federation along the highway that runs through Melitopol', Berdyans'k and Mariupol'.
