It’s not a bizarre take. If your home country is at war and needs soldiers, and you’re meanwhile living comfortably abroad somewhere else with your home country’s passport, that strikes me as cowardly.
Zelensky has already called on such people to help.
You’re still coming from a worldview where the home country providing a passport is a privilege, not a worldview where the ability to travel freely is a fundamental human right. I find this bizarre.
If free movement is a human right, we owe nothing to our “home” aka birth country for “allowing” us to move freely. The concept of free association is also a fundamental human right, so if I don’t want to freely associate with the country I was born in, I don’t have to.
