Hi, darling, my friend and I have gotten into a very tough situation; there are only two of us left from the group, me and Valchik.

We get in touch with the commander, ask to be allowed to refuse; he won’t. He says if we pull back, he’ll kill us himself.

So my friend and I decided to turn off the radio, throw away our rifles, and try to surrender to the group.

We’re alive, we’re not KIA, not WIA, not “500s”; we just have no options left, only one option—to surrender, that’s it.

If you see this video, read it, listen to it, take it to the military prosecutor’s office, please. I love you very, very much.

Bye, everyone!
