    Could be that Russia’s response to this information might cause themselves more harm than it will affect future defectors

    Yeah, that occurred to me as well. Provoke an atmosphere of suspicion, don’t trust each other, even perhaps encourage cases of friendly fire.

    It’s possible that the amount of defectors isn’t actually close to being important and the few real cases are more useful as psyops.
