"There is no mass repentance": captives Russians are not ready to drop Putin's regime - Gur (video)

This was stated by a representative of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Andriy Yusov on the air of "Radio NV" on August 17. According to him, there are people who in rare cases understand everything that is happening and become aware of their mistake, but it is extremely rare.

"Yes, there are people who even show sincere repentance and can cry who discover some new pages of history, geopolitical reality and even understand that they have fallen into another world. But mostly it is still an attempt to survive and get back to There are no conditions for them. There is no mass repentance. It is a fact, " - said Andrei Yusov.

Separately, the GUR representative noted that Ukraine faced the genocide by the Russian Federation and most of the population of the neighboring country supports the actions of the occupier army. There is neither mass repentance among the people nor resistance. They are not ready and do not want to fight Vladimir Putin's regime. But even this does not remove responsibility from Ukraine under international law and Geneva Conventions.

Regardless of whether a person voluntarily has been captured or forcibly, the Ukrainian side is obliged to ensure that the Geneva Conventions are fulfilled for him. "It seems captive (voluntarily, ed. ) A large part. And except for being captured, Russians choose other forms for themselves (evasion of participation in the war - ed. ). Especially on the front line.

There are cases where dozens of people simultaneously disappear from the front and then look for them - both in temporarily occupied territories, in the territory of the Russian Federation itself, with equipment, with weapons, and without ", - said a representative of GUR. We will remind, on August 14 the material of The Economist, which said that captives refused to return to the Russian Federation, because they do not want to be "cannon meat".
