In her post, Loomer said that during her visit to the Coordination Headquarters, she learned about the work of the "I Want to Live" project — a unique initiative that allows servicemen of the russian federation’s army and foreign citizens to safely and anonymously surrender to the Defense Forces of Ukraine.
She also emphasized that russia is massively recruiting citizens of African, Asian, and Latin American countries, using deception and false promises while concealing the real conditions of service. According to Loomer, many foreigners do not even realize that they will be sent to the front, where they become part of Russia’s tactic of "meat assaults."
"Do not fight for russia. Everything the recruiters, commanders, and Russian authorities promise you is a lie," the journalist concluded.
