"We will be shot at by our own posts," the occupant told what awaits them if they try to defect


The SBU published the video of the occupiers' interrogation.
The invaders can break out of the war in Ukraine only in a coffin, seriously wounded or captured. Therefore, now they surrender even more willingly than in the first weeks of the war.
Russian occupiers talk about this in telephone conversations that are intercepted by the SBU, as well as during interrogation.
We wanted to leave the unit on our own. Terminate the contract, in a word. To which the commander answered us that we would only leave with as “two hundredths” or “three hundredths”. If we try to escape, everything will be mined. And our posts will shoot at us,” they tell the SBU.
This party of invaders was captured after the counter-offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kharkiv region, when Ukrainian soldiers encircled them.
Now SBU investigators are working with them, and the invaders themselves are glad that they saved their lives.
For those Russians who also want to stay alive, we remind you of a phone specially created for such cases: 2402. It is available for Ukrainian and Russian operators, the SBU added.
