Russian captive occupants called on their fellow invaders to lay down their weapons. At a press conference at ‘Interfax-Ukraine,’ they admitted they did not expect the war against civilians. The soldier Maksym Chernyk appealed to other soldiers: “There are no fascists. Ukrainians are not subjected to bullying, as we were told. If my comrades see this message, I hope they change their minds, do not repeat our mistakes, surrender. Guys, get it, there are no fascists, no looters. We are fighting against a peaceful nation that lived its perfect life and would live even longer without our help.’Chernyk also appealed to Putin that he could not hold the truth back for a long time. There are many captured soldiers who sooner or later will come back home. People will get fed up with the government that deceives its guys and sends them like cannon fodder. They will take up weapons to overthrow it. Other occupants also mention that they were ‘deceived and abandoned’. They did not know they targeted civilians.At a press conference, journalists asked enemy soldiers - how it feels to kill our little children? The captured did not answer.
