This was stated by Vitaly Matviyenko, an employee of the headquarters for issues of prisoners of war.
The peak of appeals passed in March of this year. More than 3,000 requests have been recorded, and this trend continues in April,” he said on Radio Liberty.
According to him, this is due to the expected counter-offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and significant losses of Russian forces.
In December 2022, the headquarters received 1,500 requests from Russians to surrender.
Over the seven months of the existence of the “I want to live” project, where the Russian military can apply to surrender, more than 15 thousand Russian military personnel and their families have applied.
In captivity, Russian prisoners of war receive food, medical examinations and the opportunity to communicate with their families.
