While Russian propaganda says that the Russian Federation is “liberating” Ukraine from the Nazis , the invaders themselves are recruiting them into their ranks.

This is evidenced by another interception by the SBU, in which Ivan Klimenko, a contract soldier from the Russian outback, is talking to his mother.

“We need to kill everyone: both children and women. Everyone in a row. All of Ukraine needs to be eradicated simply, to Lvov. So that this country is not on the map. We need to wipe them off the ground,” the Russian occupier said.

Also, the invader tells his mother that he will cut a swastika on the foreheads of the dead Ukrainians with a knife.

As noted in the special service, he has several accounts on social networks, some of which are signed with fake names. This is a common practice for the Russian military, who are advised to “not shine” in social networks.

Among the published photographs are images of him in military uniform and a photo with Nazi symbols.

He serves in the Second Guards Tamanskaya motorized rifle division, which is considered elite in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

For “combat successes” in hot spots, this unit has always participated in military parades in Moscow.

“That’s the kind of military ‘elite’ in Russia… The SBU will identify each occupier by name: their full name, contacts, addresses of residence and social circle! The enemy will answer for his crimes,” the Ukrainian special service stressed.
