Minister of Defense of Ukraine Alexei Reznikov called on officers and command of the Russian Federation “to save Russia from the tragedy, and the Russian army from humiliation.” He stated this in a video message to the military personnel recorded in Russian.
According to the minister, the Russian authorities “deceived and betrayed” the military who are now dying in Ukraine. “They promised you a slight walk, but sent to the trap. You pay blood for someone’s fantasies and false goals. Now they do not listen to you, because listening to you now means to recognize your mistakes. And in Moscow they do not like the truth. It is easier to tell them, it is easier to tell them, How you heroically died in a battle with NATO fictional hordes, ”Meduza quotes Reznikova.
“You know that you are not freeing anyone in Ukraine. You are destroying entire cities where you were recently considered good neighbors and spoke Russian. And now the enmity of the generation is sown in the generation. Many of you have already understood – you have already been sent to die Not for a just cause, ”added Reznikov.
He invited the Russian military to think about how they “go down in history” after this war.
At the end, the minister curled up that Ukraine guarantees life, security and justice to all the Russian military who would immediately refuse to fight. “You can still save Russia from the tragedy, and the Russian army is from humiliation. But time is leaving. Do not miss it,” he finished.
