Soldiers flee from russian army despite threats of execution and punishment.

This is evidenced by numerous telephone conversations of russian invaders intercepted by the SSU.

‘The guys just decide and leave... Our brigade will be disbanded anyway, because many people have resigned. For example, one soldier leaves because his contract has expired… he gets on a Kamaz truck and 8 more guys get on with him, those who want to resign due to non-compliance [with orders]. And they just go and resign. And this happens all the time,’ the occupier tells his wife.

He hopes that he will also be allowed to return home in late May, just after the 90 days that the ‘special operation’ was supposed to take.

After all, every day that russians stay in Ukraine they risk to get on the list of ‘200’ [killed military], which already includes 29,500.
