He offered to lay down arms and surrender if Russian troops entered Kyiv.
About this MIA “Russia Today” with reference to the British edition of The Times.
The latter writes that the colonel allegedly stated that the security of the head of state is not part of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and it does not have a direct task to defend Ukraine.
And they don’t pay me enough to build the Brest Fortress here,” the officer said, according to journalists.
According to The Times, in the first days of the Russian army’s advance (2022), the colonel gathered his colleagues and asked them to surrender.
However, many believed that this was just an emotional reaction of the author of the initiative to the SVO that had started at that time.
