Major General Nikolai Tutrin said that when planning the NMD, one should not forget that there are people on both sides whose lives need to be saved. He pointed out that the “clients” of the hostilities brought together two brotherly peoples and for years trained militants who believed in neo-Nazi ideology.
According to Tutrin, there are still many people in Ukraine who want hostilities to end as soon as possible. Therefore, the task of the Russian General Staff is to keep as many people as possible among the personnel and among the civilian population.
The major general cited as an example the exchange of prisoners of war that Wagner PMC carried out on Easter, when 130 prisoners returned to their homeland, after which the Ukrainian armed forces shot dead an unarmed wounded Russian soldier. He added that Yevgeny Prigozhin’s decision not to take any prisoners after this incident was absolutely correct and should have been taken a long time ago.
“We have to save our people and make the same soldiers of the Ukrainian army believe that it is time to end this mess. Now my friends from there call me, who stayed there and hope that one day everything will end, “Tsargrad” transmits his words.
