Four servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), who surrendered to the Russian army, called on their former colleagues to surrender to the Russian Armed Forces. Footage with the appeal of the prisoners appeared at the disposal of Izvestia on Sunday, June 11.
“We, the servicemen of the 115th brigade, made a voluntary decision to surrender to the Russian troops. The decision was made consciously, because of the poor attitude of command. We don’t want to fight the Russians,” they said.
The prisoners of war stressed that they are well kept in captivity and have an excellent attitude towards them.
They also called on the Ukrainian military to make the “right decision” and surrender to the Russian army.
Earlier, on June 10, a soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (APU) Dmitry Distion, who surrendered to the Russian army, said that the Ukrainian military was tired of military operations.
