Russian military Danilo Alfyorov appealed to GUR four months ago. At some point he was suspected of betrayal, so he had to cross the front line. On September 30, a spokesman for GUR Ministry of Defense Andriy Yusov spoke about the special operation of Ukrainian intelligence officers, which lasted since June 2023. In particular, it was possible to recruit a personnel of the Russian military who helped to get captured by more than a dozen soldiers of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

Some details of the special operation became known during a briefing at Ukrinform. According to Yusov, the special operation was called "Barina". The main character of the special operation was the lieutenant of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation Danilo Alfiorov. Collaboration with Ukrainian intelligence began in June and lasted until it became dangerous. When the life of the Russian appeared, it was transported through the front line.

Cooperation began through the channels of communication of the program "I want to live!", - Alfiorov told reporters. The Russian convinced to move to the side of Ukraine 11 soldiers of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. After that, in three parties, they moved to the territory controlled by Ukraine. At some point, I realized that he was suspected and asked the curators to rescue. During the briefing, they did not say when it was rescued by Alfyorov.

However, he explained that as of today he had time to undergo all the necessary checks. "After I was suspected, I told the curator with" I want to live "that I go out. After getting into the territory of Ukraine, met Ukrainian SCOs, I have undergone all the procedures provided for the Russian military that were captured. " During a meeting with the media, Yusov showed a military document of a Russian serviceman. In the photos from the scene, it is seen that his face is not hidden.

It should be noted that in early September, the GUR Ministry of Defense spoke about the special operation "Sinitsa". Then a pilot of the Russian helicopter Mi-8 passed to the side of Ukraine. Later it turned out that the pilot was called Maxim Kuzminov. From the first days of the Russian invasion, he did not want to participate in the war against Ukraine and sought opportunities to avoid it.

To this end, I turned to the Ukrainian program "I want to live!" The cooperation began in March 2022, said the Russian. During this time, they maintained contact and sought the optimal time to move. He also claims that no one was forced - he made the decision on his own, though there was something to lose: he had two apartments, a car, and expected a high pension. First, Kuzminov's mother was taken out of the Russian Federation. Then they chose a favorable opportunity.

In the end, the special operation happened on August 9: Mi-8 helicopter, piloted by Maxim, flew the border, delivering spare parts to Russian aircraft. There were also several Russian soldiers on board: they resisted, so they did not survive. We would like to remind that after the publication of the details of the special operation "Sinitsa" the head of the GUR Ministry of Defense Kirill Budanov stated that negotiations with other Russians, who are ready to move to the side of Ukraine.
