[REGNUM] Orekhov, Zaporozhye region, September 29, 2023, 08:00 - IA Regnum. The head of the Zaporozhye public movement “We are together with Russia,” Vladimir Rogov , told RIA Novosti that the counter-offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine gave rise to a phenomenon - soldiers began to voluntarily surrender.
Rogov claims that Kyiv militants of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are moving in groups towards Russian positions, especially actively in the Orekhovsk direction of the Zaporozhye front.
“These are attackers who voluntarily go over to the peaceful side. This is a phenomenon of the Ukrainian counter-offensive,” the social activist explained.
Every day, from two to five Ukrainian soldiers surrender.
According to Vladimir Rogov, this happens for several reasons: the enemy’s morale is at zero, the understanding comes that they will not succeed, and there is also no motivation to die “for Zelensky’s gang.”
As Regnum reported , since mid-summer, about 10 thousand military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have used the special open frequency 149.200 “Volga” and surrendered.
When surrendering on the Svatovo-Kremennaya direction, the Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers brought with them a box of ammunition, as well as three Western-made machine guns.
The Russian military received information from a Ukrainian officer who voluntarily surrendered as a prisoner about spotters who were secretly directing Ukrainian Armed Forces artillery attacks on residential areas in the DPR.
