As a result of a successful operation by the “I Want to Live” project and the Legion “Freedom of Russia” called “Reeds”, a Russian army serviceman blew up the headquarters of the Storm Zet battalion officers and defected to the side of Ukraine. This was reported by the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, UNN reports.
According to the DIU, in the winter of 2024, a Russian FPV pilot with the call sign “Silver” got in touch with the Legion of Freedom of Russia.
According to him, the Russian was motivated to cooperate with Ukraine by the systematic war crimes and other crimes of the command, including extrajudicial executions, beatings and extortion in the occupation unit.
As part of the interaction with the Russian serviceman, Ukraine was able to obtain valuable intelligence on the location, number, and intentions of the enemy in a particular area of the front.
Then, at a convenient moment, Silver reportedly threw a grenade into the ventilation hole in the basement of the headquarters of the occupation unit Storm Zet, where his commander and other Russian officers were sleeping.
There were about 15 people in the basement. In this room, there was a pipe right above the bed where the commander was sleeping. It went out into the street next to the entrance, and we decided to throw a grenade or two into this pipe so that they would explode next to them
When the deed was done, the Russian fled via a pre-arranged route and crossed into Ukrainian-controlled territory.
Now the Russian volunteer has become a recruit of the Legion of Freedom of Russia to fight against Putin's criminal regime.
Recall
Every Russian serviceman can use the state program of the Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War for voluntary surrender, “I Want to Live”.
