Did not want to participate in the war: Lieutenant of the Russian army asks political asylum in Lithuania (video)
The event took place on August 10, says the publication. It was then that the Lithuanian border guards detained a man who illegally got to Lithuania from Russia. The detention took place in Vilnius, and then transported it to the checkpoint, where he is expecting a decision on political asylum. During the detention, the man presented documents stating that he was called Ivan Korolev, he was 26 years old, he had an officer rank of lieutenant.
During the conversation with the publication, Korolev said that he served in the military unit 59313-3, which was stationed in the village of Tesin of the Khabarovsk Territory of Russia. It should be noted that the distance from the settlement to Lithuania is about 6 thousand km. It is not clear from the post how the man got to Vilnius and where it was part of it. The man assures that he did not participate in the fighting.
His responsibilities at the place of service are checking the artillery shells, which then went to the front in Ukraine for strikes at the positions of defense forces. The decision on escape Korolev made on August 3. The reason is the unwillingness to participate in the war of Russia against Ukraine: "I did not want to participate in the bloody war, which my state was resolved. I am now in the Republic of Lithuania, where I asked for political asylum.
" The publication stressed that there is no confidence at this time that Korolev's statements were true and the documents are not forgery. So far, they have sent a request to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and are waiting for the answer. It should be noted that on July 28, in the Republic of Poland, they responded to the statements of President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko on "tourists"-"Wagner": assured that "they would accept as it is".
