The Ukrainian president urged the forcibly mobilized to surrender and promised them three things.
Ukraine guarantees the civilized treatment of the surrendered Russian military, the secrecy of the circumstances of the surrender and the opportunity not to return to Russia. This was said by President Volodymyr Zelensky in an evening speech on Saturday, September 24.
So, according to Zelensky, Ukraine guarantees every Russian soldier to surrender three things:
-
you will be treated in a civilized manner, in accordance with all conventions;
-
no one will know the circumstances of how you surrendered, no one in Russia will know that your surrender was voluntary;
-
if you are afraid to return to Russia and do not want to exchange your own, we will find a way to provide it too.”
Addressing the Russians in Russian, Zelensky emphasized that Russian commanders do not care about the lives of citizens, they only need to fill the “empty places” after the dead, wounded, escaped or captured. Russian soldiers. And these places can be filled “at least by young IT specialists who did not serve, even by pensioners who only served in the Soviet army.”
“Therefore, today is an important moment for all of you, a time when it is decided whether your life will end. It is better not to accept a call than to die on foreign soil as a war criminal. surrendering to Ukrainian captivity is better than dying under the blow of our weapons, under our absolutely fair blow, because Ukraine is defending itself in this war,” the president insisted.
He reiterated that Ukraine will liberate its entire country, especially stressing that the same applies to Crimea.
