Legion “Freedom of Russia” called on Russian soldiers to voluntarily surrender to the Ukrainian Armed Forces amid fighting in the Kursk region. Those who want to fight for the normal future of Russia are invited to join the Legion.

Against the backdrop of fighting in the Kursk region , the Legion "Freedom of Russia" called on the Russian military to voluntarily surrender to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. And those who want to fight for the normal future of the Russian Federation should join the Legion, UNN reports.

"We are addressing the soldiers of the Russian army. Your political advisors, sitting in the warm rear, strongly recommend not surrendering, but blowing themselves up on their own grenade. But hundreds of Russian soldiers ignore the criminal order, choosing to live rather than die for a new colonel's medal or another mansion of Gerasimov. This decision is a healthy alternative to mindless death," reads the statement of the Legion ‘Freedom of Russia’.

The Legion called on all servicemen of the Russian Armed Forces to voluntarily surrender to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

"...for those who want to continue fighting for a normal future for Russia, there is still an ironclad option to join the Legion. We are ready to talk to anyone who wishes to turn their weapons on the Kremlin. History teaches that when people lose faith in the "rulers", they choose freedom. And it seems that this moment has already come," the Legion summarized.
