40,000 euros for anyone who lays down their arms

UKRAINE WANTS TO BREAK THE RESISTANCE OF RUSSIAN SOLDIERS

That would be a massive chunk of money for many Russians—nearly six times their annual salary. According to estimates, the average wage in Russia is around 600 euros a month (7200 Euros/year).

Reznik's appeal to the Russian troops fighting Putin's bloody invasion war:

"You were thrown into our land to kill and to be killed. Those who don't want to become murderers can be saved. You have a chance for a new life. Make up your mind. Come out with a white flag and no gun. Say the code word 'million.' stay alive. Hug your loved ones."

And further: "Stop following the criminal orders of those who have lied to you about Ukraine and the Ukrainian people for years. We guarantee you complete pardon and financial compensation if you voluntarily lay down your arms."

For the others, this means: "There is no mercy for you."

Starved and demotivated

Putin's war in Ukraine also came as a surprise to some Russian soldiers. Instead of an exercise on the land borders of Russia, many young Russians with no combat experience found themselves in a foreign country – in the middle of the war, with a loaded gun in their hands.

Young Russians who are barely grown-up are supposed to die for Putin's brutal, bloody and utterly unjustified war - while in Russia, too, people are taking to the streets against the Kremlin tyrant and no longer believe his lies.

The question "What are we fighting for here?" also occupies the troops. Some have already given up because they cannot endure the horrors and atrocities of war – and yes, Mr. Putin, it is a WAR you are waging. They are starved, stuck: soldiers surrender or march back to Russia on foot.

And: Ukrainian civilians keep finding abandoned and intact tanks (worth: hundreds of thousands of euros); parked in ditches, partly parked in groups. From the Russians: no trace.

The consequences are insane: tanks get stuck on freeways and stuck in the mud by the side of the road. Soldiers beg Ukrainians for food and fuel.

NATO officers confirm these crazy situations to BILD: "Without fuel supply, the tanks eventually come to a standstill on the side of the road. We see that on several recordings from Ukraine." They also say: that Putin completely overestimated the motivation of his troops.

In addition, not all are safe. There are increasing reports of defective and broken equipment, missing food, vehicles without petrol - the supply routes: broken!

Other tanks lie destroyed along the way.

The mega-convoy threatening Kyiv from the north has been stagnating for days. There is also speculation whether the petrol is missing or broken tires.

Three high-ranking NATO officers told BILD what surprised them about the actions of the Russian troops. The unanimous answer: the logistics chain, which does not work well on the Russian side.

"Russian soldiers seem to be less trained and experienced than Russian propaganda always claims. As a result, they don't move, communicate, and fight like they're supposed to."

But it is also clear: the calm is deceptive, Putin continues to bomb - will not voluntarily end his bloody war against freedom, democracy and people.
