WELL, THAT’S ONE WAY TO DEFECT.
A RUSSIAN SOLDIER KNOWN AS “SILVER” DIDN’T WANT TO BE A RUSSIAN SOLDIER ANYMORE–SO HE DROPPED A GRENADE DOWN AN AIR SHAFT AT HIS MILITARY BASE, INJURING HIS COMMANDER AND SEVERAL OFFICERS.
THEN, SILVER HIT THE ROAD–COORDINATING WITH UKRAINE’S FREEDOM FOR RUSSIA LEGION, HE USED MINES TO COVER HIS TRACKS AND SUCCESSFULLY DEFECTED IN MAY.
AS A DRONE OPERATOR STATIONED NEAR UKRAINE’S EASTERN AVDIIVKA AREA — SILVER SAYS HE GREW INCREASINGLY DISILLUSIONED WITH THE RUSSIAN MILITARY. OVER THE COURSE OF SEVERAL MONTHS, HE PROVIDED UKRAINE WITH CRITICAL INTELLIGENCE ON RUSSIAN TROOP MOVEMENTS AND STRATEGIES, ALL WHILE WITNESSING WHAT HE CALLS “EXTRAJUDICIAL KILLINGS, CRIMES OF THE COMMANDERS, CORRUPTION AND WAR CRIMES”
HIS DEFECTION WAS FACILITATED BY UKRAINE’S “I WANT TO LIVE” PROJECT ALONG WITH UNITS FROM MILITARY INTELLIGENCE…AND IT ECHOES GROWING REPORTS OF UNREST AMONG RUSSIAN TROOPS INVOLVED IN THE WAR.
UKRAINE IS HAILING THE DEFECTION AS ANOTHER SIGN OF RUSSIA’S FALTERING MORALE AS THE WAR DRAGS ON. KYIV CONFIRMED SILVER’S COOPERATION PROVIDED CRUCIAL INSIGHTS INTO THE OPERATIONS OF RUSSIAN FORCES ALONG THE FRONT LINE, AIDING UKRAINE’S EFFORTS IN THE ONGOING CONFLICT.
RUSSIA’S DEFENSE MINISTRY ISN’T COMMENTING ON SILVER’S CLAIMS, ABOUT WITNESSING COMMANDERS KILLING THEIR OWN SOLDIERS,
UKRAINE HAILS HIS DEFECTION AS ANOTHER SIGN OF RUSSIA’S FALTERING MORALE AS THE WAR DRAGS ON.
SILVER IS NOW UNDERGOING TRAINING AS PART OF UKRAINE’S FREEDOM FOR RUSSIA LEGION, A GROUP OF RUSSIAN DISSIDENTS FIGHTING AGAINST THEIR HOMELAND IN SOLIDARITY WITH UKRAINE.
