A deserter joined the army to take his daughter to kindergarten
Ukrainian Ombudsman Dmitry Lubinets spoke about the Russian military. He quoted Chibrin, who said that he was “ready to testify in The Hague against Russia.”
According to Lubinets, on February 24, Chibrin entered Ukraine as part of the Russian occupation forces – the Kiev region, then was in the Kharkiv region. The invader fled from the front, first home, and in transit through Belarus and to Spain.
It is reported that the Russian got into the army so that the family would have a better situation, so that their daughter would be taken to kindergarten. However, when on February 14 he was ordered to go to war, he tried to refuse, but failed.
From his interview it became known that the invaders tried to steal “Lexus” and “Honda” from the yard of the inhabitants of the Kiev region, and also looted in houses.
The Russian media lie that there are no casualties. Russia does not need to be trusted while this “bald man” is in power there. A third “mowed down” for sure, – the military answered the question about the losses in the brigade.
Chibrin was in the 64th motorized rifle brigade of the Russian armed forces. He said that he tried to take his daughter out of Russia “so that she would grow up in a normal country, in Europe”, but the ex-wife refused this.
Chibrin hopes that Russia will answer for the crimes
Lubinets said that Chibrin announced that he had testified to the Spanish police working on war crimes.
“I hope that Russia will pay reparations, restore Ukraine. I feel shame when I see my Russian passport. I feel ashamed “, – the military summed up.
The Ukrainian Ombudsman called on the Russian military to surrender.
“As you can see, people with a Russian passport are becoming more and more ashamed of their belonging. The war has become an indicator of the level of education and development Anyone who understands cause-and-effect relationships, narratives, actions and realizes what the imperial illness of Russia has led to, is trying to get rid of the roots that are already starting to rot,” he said.
