In Ukraine

In early August, Russian soldier Pavel Filatyev spoke about the conflict in Ukraine, in his testimony published on his profile on the social network VKontakte.
He then fled Russia.
Pavel Filatyev is the first active member of the Russian army who publicly criticized the invasion of Ukraine and left the country.

It is about Pavel Filatyev, who spoke publicly against the conflict in Ukraine through a memoir, published on his profile on the social network Vkontakte, which is written on 141 pages. After that, Filatyev managed to escape from Russia.

"We have information that Russia is increasing its efforts to strike the civilian infrastructure and buildings of state institutions in Ukraine in the coming days" - said a representative of the US administration to American media.
