"Putin will kill his associates": Elena Belozerskaya Sniperka gave a candid interview

" 44-year-old Elena Belozerskaya stated that Putin "will not live to the international tribunal where he will be tried. " In her opinion, the Russian president will be killed by his own associates, as soon as the "Russian elite will realize that Putin's reign becomes unprofitable for them. " "Of course, I would kill him if I could, but it is unrealistic to get such a chance for me," Olena said, at least 10 confirmed liquidations.

She also called Putin "an inadequate person" and warned that if he was able to capture Ukraine, other neighboring countries, such as Moldova, Poland, Baltic States or Finland, may be captured by other neighboring countries. Snayerka's woman added that Russia can only be overcome on the battlefield, because "Russian politicians never fulfill their promises" and violate any treaties.

Elena joined the Ukrainian army as a sniper-volunteer in 2014 in the Dnieper, while working as a journalist in Kiev, and in 2018 she became a full-time soldier of the Corps of the Marine Corps of Ukraine. It was demobilized in 2020, but returned to fight for its country after Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 and still serves in the Ukrainian special unit "Artan". The Arthan special unit is a special purpose unit of the GUR Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

The special unit was formed by officers of GUR MOU and volunteers in 2022 in Kiev. Belozersk was demobilized from the Marines in 2020, but she and her husband Valery Voronov were still members of the territorial defense services of Ukraine. She previously wrote the book "Diary of an illegal soldier", which states that for the first few years of her service to such volunteers as she was technically not allowed to fight on the forefront, but in 2016 the law was changed.

She was well known before the war, as her opposition journalistic activity has threatened her imprisonment during Yanukovych's time. Only a few weeks before the invasion in 2022, she stated that she did not believe that Putin would give an order to invade and that his troops were simply "pressure and intimidation". But when her assessment was false, she and her husband enrolled in the army.

She says that on February 24, 2022 he became the hardest day of the war, when the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation tried to storm Kiev. "It was scary - if the invaders were captured by Kiev, they would kill my parents. When we drove enemies from the capital, it became morally easier," she said.

Elena said that the nature of the war has changed and became more complex than the fighting actions of 2014 and 2017 because of the use of drones by Russia, which allow the enemy to "monitor you constantly". Elena is convinced that Ukraine should continue to fight Russia to regain control of its borders, as they were defined in 1991 after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

"After that, Ukraine should be isolated from Russia with the help of a reliable and very well fortified border, strengthen its army and eventually join NATO," Olena said. "Russia is fighting against us because it does not like the current Ukrainian government or the Ukrainian political course, but because it is not satisfied with the very existence of Ukraine. If Russia does not defeat on the battlefield, it will not stop trying to win Ukraine.

As history shows But practice, Russian politicians never fulfill their promises. Any peace treaty they will sign, they will violate. They have nothing to discuss and negotiate with them, "the sniper said. She confessed that she did not feel any emotions when she eliminates her goals. "When the enemy is approaching our position to kill me, does he think, whether I have a man, parents or children? Moral torment about" Murder of Man "invented people far from war. Armed enemy is not a man but a goal.

If You raise a weapon against my country - all, you are target. If I do not remove it in time, he can kill me or one of the brothers, "she said. Elena noted that she was "not frozen at the battlefield. " "It is a material for books and films. In real life, anyone who thinks similarly in battle is almost dead," the sniper summarized. Elena was injured in battle - her right cheek was paralyzed after she was affected by a bullet.

And at the end of the interview, she criticized the Hollywood image of a sniper. "The movie shows the sniper sees the eyes of a living man. But you can't see the eyes. You just see the silhouette of an armed man and shoot on it. That's all . . . If you miss, you feel like you lost," Belozerskaya said.
