41-year-old illegally crossed the border from Belarus to Poland, says border guard. He reportedly had Moscow military documents.
Border guards report capturing a 41-year-old Russian army deserter believed to have been fighting in Ukraine before crossing illegally into NATO country Poland, from Belarus.It marks what appears to be the first publicly-known case of a Russian army deserter attempting to cross into Poland, a strong opponent of Moscow's action against Ukraine.
In February, a Russian anti-war project named 'Get Lost,' which was created to help Russian men evade or escape conscription, said cases of desertion from the Russian military increased tenfold this year.Ukraine's military intelligence agency said last month that thousands of Russian soldiers are deserting the army. Troops under Russia's Southern Military District deployed to fight in the war are increasingly fleeing their posts, it said.
