A Russian soldier surrendered a tank to the Ukrainian military for a reward. This was reported by Viktor Andrusiv, advisor to the Minister of Internal Affairs.
"For several weeks now, the National Police have identified the phones used by the Russians. These are Ukrainian numbers. We regularly send text messages to these phones, how to surrender and surrender equipment. A few days ago we received a call from "Misha. We passed the information about him to the Main Department of Defense. He was told where to go. He drove up. From the drone we confirmed that he was on his own and it was not an ambush. After that the spetsnaz officers detained him, "- wrote Andrusiv.
According to him, it turned out that of the tank crew he was the only one left, the rest ran home.
"He saw no reason to fight. He couldn't go home, because the commander said he would shoot him and write it off as combat casualties. Misha said that there was practically no food left, the management of the troops was chaotic and almost non-existent. The demoralization is colossal," said Andrusiv.
He noted that Misha received very comfortable conditions of confinement.
"He will also receive $10,000 at the end of the war and the opportunity to apply for citizenship. Until the end of the war, he will live in comfortable conditions with a TV, telephone, kitchen and shower," Andrusiv noted.
It should be noted that in the Akhtyrsky district of the Sumy region about 300 Russian soldiers refused to comply with the order to conduct combat operations. This was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
