In the Zaporozhye axis, the National Guardsmen of Ukraine captured four occupiers. Two of them sighned the contract with Armed Forces of Russian Federation.
The occupiers of the Russian Federation surrendered
Soldiers of the military unit 3017 of the National Guardsmen in the Zaporizhzhia region replenished the exchange fund with four soldiers of the Russian Federation occupation forces.
It is noted that this was the result of one of the enemy's attempts to restore lost positions in the Zaporozhye direction.
The captured documents show that three of the invaders were from the 136th Separate Motorised Rifle Brigade of the Russian Federation, and another from the 1430th Motorised Rifle Regiment of the Territorial Forces of the Russian Federation.
The NGU noted that the prisoners spoke in memorised phrases, saying that they had come to Ukraine to allegedly protect civilians from the 'Nazis' and liberate 'their' lands.
At the same time, they tried to convince the Ukrainian defenders that they had been serving for less than a year and had not received proper combat training or fought during that time, that the units were morally decaying and had no motivation to carry out assault operations.
One of the prisoners said that he had already refused to take part in hostilities and was sent to the 'pit', and that he returned to the front for fear of imprisonment.
According to the detainees, the Russians are mobilising them by threatening them with criminal liability for refusing to participate in the so-called 'special operation', which could lead to imprisonment for 8 to 15 years, while promising the prospect of quick enrichment and social guarantees.
Surrender to Ukrainian captivity
It is worth mentioning that after the successful operation “Synytsya”[means titmouse], during which Russian pilot Maxim Kuzminov drove an Mi-8 helicopter to Ukraine, the number of people willing to surrender to Ukrainian captivity increased.
According to Andrey Yusov, a representative of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, the number of Russians willing to surrender jumped by 70 per cent in a day.
1000 applications are currently in the process of being implemented, and more than 200 are successful cases of withdrawal of Russian servicemen behind the front line. This is only under the I Want to Live programme," Yusov said.
As a reminder, "I Want to Live" is a state project of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine that helps Russian military personnel surrender to the Ukrainian Armed Forces and save their lives.
