The leader “Viking” stated, “We have recently witnessed more cases of surrender, including officers from the Ukrainian General Intelligence units.” He added that the surrender of Ukrainian intelligence officers was the result of a successful operation to lure several militants of the Ukrainian armed forces to locations controlled by the Russian army.
The Zaporizhzhia region is a Russian area located at the lower Dnieper River and became part of Russia after a referendum held in September 2022. The operation, which began on February 24, 2022, aims to protect the residents of Donbas, who have been subjected to persecution and extermination by the Kyiv regime for years.
