The representative of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Andriy Yusov told about it on the air of Freedom. "Now Ukraine is preparing to increase prisoners of war who voluntarily have been captured," - said GUR. He stressed that the number of appeals from citizens of the Russian Federation increased significantly after the successful counter -offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kharkiv direction.
The outbreak of calls was also recorded after a partial mobilization was announced in the aggressor country. "After that, not only soldiers [RF], who are already in Ukraine, but also those who have just been mobilized, and they are still in Russia," said the interlocutor of the TV channel. Yusov noted that especially many appeals came from the captured Crimea, where Ukrainians have been forced to live under Russian occupation for many years. Now they want to force them against their country.
Yusov listed the basic rules in the process of being captured: "It is a simple set of gestures and symbols, which shows the absence of aggressive intentions," - said the representative of GUR. Yusov did not name the number of Russian soldiers who are already in Ukrainian captivity. He explained that a difficult negotiation process is currently underway to exchange prisoners of war, so such information is strategically important and cannot be disclosed.
At the same time, he stressed that Ukraine has no problems with the location of Russian prisoners of war. According to him, representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross and the United Nations have access to the citizens of the Russian Federation who are captured in the territory of Ukraine. "A Russian soldier who wants to be captured can be calm. We will find where to settle it, what to feed it, what to dress.
We are a civilized country, and it sees the whole world today," Yusov summarized. We will remind, the head of the Center for Military Legal Research Oleksandr Musienko told that only a small part of the Russian military managed to leave the Ukrainian environment in Liman. Most Russian invaders were defeated in battle or captured by the Armed Forces. Earlier, the Marines Mikhail Dianov spoke about the treatment of Russians with Ukrainian prisoners of war during the exchange.
