Putin can't believe his eyes: 17,000 Russians surrendered to Ukraine with this magnificent tactic!

Welcome to The Journalist. The Russian army is currently in a state of complete collapse after the recent offensives in Crimea and the deep losses in Avdivka. Although the Kremlin has tried to hide its record losses, the situation has become so obvious that every soldier in the Russian army now knows that Moscow is leading them into an abyss. About this huge crisis in the Russian army, the United States has recently conducted a very critical study. The study focused in detail on the current state of the Russian army, the latest movement of surrender cases and desertions within the army. The facts, which were not published due to the embargoes imposed by the Kremlin on Russian media sources and which were tried to be covered up, have come to light thanks to the latest posts and assessments published by the US. The published figures also clearly reveal Russia's inner face in the Ukraine war. The reason why the Russian army has become like this surprises all those who hear it. How Kiev exploited the openings in Russian leader Vladimir Putin's army and how they turned the situation to their advantage is a new example in the history of world wars. In this process, Kiev, like Moscow, did not focus directly on media resources. Instead, the Kiev government was much more lenient than the Kremlin, even with Russians who did not want to fight. Over time, this led to major disintegration in the Russian army. Here is the unknown face of the war. The latest disasters within the Russian army have been proven by the latest critical and official update released by the United States. Lieutenant General Jonathan Braga, head of the US Army Special Operations Command, stated that Ukraine removed 17,000 Russians from the battlefield without firing a single shot. The main reason why Ukraine was able to ensure the desertion of such a large number of Russian soldiers without firing a single shot was characterized as a completely precise information operation. Lieutenant General Jonathan Braga underlined Ukraine's ability to exploit the low morale of the Russian army to conduct successful media campaigns. Ukraine's messaging efforts have therefore become an important tool in persuading thousands of Russian soldiers to leave their positions. Braga noted that through the active use of social media, the Ukrainian military and intelligence services obtained detailed information about Russian forces, equipment and personnel, which formed the basis for effective attacks against individual soldiers and weaken their morale. At the tactical level, it is an innate and traditional military activity to erode the will and morale of individual soldiers, to erode the overall capacity of the unit, to impose doubt in their minds. There are many examples of demoralization in the Russian army that could be exploited by Ukrainian operations and the Kremlin is trying to eradicate this phenomenon. These include Russia's draconian measures such as the Soviet practice during World War II of executing soldiers who refuse to obey orders or retreat, among others. Ukraine is well aware of the soft underbelly of Russia. There are already many soldiers in the Russian army who are disillusioned with war and oppose Moscow. The inhumane sanctions imposed on these Russian soldiers have only exacerbated Ukraine's efforts in this regard. Russian soldiers, who did not want to die for nothing, either chose to surrender to the Ukrainian army or deserted from the battlefield. It is tragic for Moscow that the number of surrenders or desertions within the Russian army has reached 17,000. Ukraine, for its part, has carried out a remarkable series of information operations to expose Moscow's vulnerabilities even more as the Russian military continues to collapse. Whether persuading allies to send more weapons or mocking Russia's shortcomings on the battlefield, the Ukrainians have shown great skill in using information to their advantage. Russia, for its part, recognized this Ukrainian methodology, but it was too late and more and more Russian soldiers left the battlefield. But the Kremlin did not give up. The Kremlin sent directives to news organizations instructing them to describe Ukraine's capabilities in a positive light in order to increase perceptions of the Russian army's success in repelling Kiev's forces. In this way, according to Russia's definition, even a single Ukrainian battlefield success against the West and the United States could be greatly exaggerated. But the situation did not turn out as the Kremlin had calculated. The Ukrainian army did not surrender in three days, as Russian leader Vladimir Putin said. In fact, the Ukrainians have now purged more than 300,000 Russian troops from the clashes. This is the worst wound the Russian army has suffered since the Second World War. As a result, faith in the war has collapsed within the Russian army. Russian citizens increased their anti-war protests against the Kremlin. It was at this point that Ukraine stepped in again and took the rebellious and anti-war soldiers in the Russian army into its orbit. To this end, Ukraine launched a surrender line called I Want to Live. Currently, the surrender hotline is receiving record numbers of calls and every day it is pulling more and more Russian soldiers out of the war and offering them a brand new life. Kiev has perhaps taken the biggest step forward with the surrender hotline. As part of the project, 21 operations to remove the surrendered soldiers have been completed. As a result of the operations, 216 Russian soldiers have surrendered in recent days under the I Want to Live project launched by the Ukrainian government, while 1,072 Russian soldiers are waiting for their turn to be safely transferred to the front line. In some cases, Russian soldiers also brought military equipment. It was also recently reported that more than 48 million people from Russia and the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine visited the I Want to Live website. Following these visits, more than 25,000 applications were received from Russian soldiers who wanted to surrender to the I Want to Live project. The Russian government, on the other hand, was seriously alarmed by these figures and launched efforts to block Ukraine's striking policies. Roskomnadzor, Russia's telecom watchdog, blocked 256 domain names of the platform. Despite Russian efforts, the I Want to Live project continues to draw Russian soldiers away from the war. Following the successful implementation of Operation Sinitsia, which involved the defection of a Russian fighter pilot who flew his helicopter to Ukraine before surrendering, the number of applications from Russians continues to increase. Every day, the coordination headquarters says it receives dozens of applications through multiple channels from active servicemen in the Russian army and beyond. They emphasize that applying for the I Want to Live project is the only real opportunity for the Russian military to return home alive. In fact, when we look at the differences between the two armies, it is clear to see how Ukraine actually has the upper hand against a much better equipped army. Kiev's attitude towards its soldiers and its people is very different from Moscow's. To understand this difference more clearly, we can take a closer look at the recent actions taken by Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky. Volodymyr Zelensky visited Ukrainian artillery, missile and engineering forces soldiers and congratulated them on their professional holiday. The Ukrainian leader honored the country's defenders with state awards and thanked the commanders. Zelensky also noted that every 500 meters, every kilometer overcome by the defenders, are new operational opportunities for the missiles of Kiev and the Ukrainian army. Even if this is perhaps a very small detail, the fact that a head of state, despite the occupation of his country, does not give up the fight and is constantly in touch with his troops is a completely differentiating factor. Of course, in addition to cooperation and solidarity, Zelensky has continued to make mechanical and strategic innovations within his army. Most recently, the Ukrainian leader announced critical steps for Kiev's war strategy. Zelensky replaced the commander of the special operations forces of the armed forces of Ukraine. The head of state mentioned the appointment of Colonel Serhii Lopanchuk. Lopanchuk became the new commander of the special operations forces of the armed forces of Ukraine. According to the President of Ukraine, Lopanchuk is an experienced combat officer, a good commander, and a person who can add more strength to the special operations forces. The commander of the special operations forces of Ukraine, General Viktor Horanko, will continue to hold special positions in the military intelligence service of the Ministry of Defense. In addition to new decisions within the military, the Ukrainian leader also announced legislative reforms. Zelensky noted that he signed an important law on November 3rd. This law was about national communities. It also makes it possible to implement another criterion for European integration. The articles of the resolution contain important content on the implementation of the recommendations of the European Commission and the EU accession process. In short, Ukraine is adopting more optimistic and constructive policies on the battlefield, while the Russian leadership is hoping for a victory by forcibly sending its troops to the battlefield in a war that even it does not believe in. Ukraine's approach is based on patriotism and volunteerism, while Russia's policies are a bit more repressive and authoritarian. Of course, please decide in the comments whether such a strategy will work. Thank you for following us.
