‘Do not invade Kyiv, we have already lost this war’: the pleas of Russia’s captured pilots
Shot down during a bombing raid last Sunday, Lieutenant Colonel Maxim Krishtop, a captured Russian pilot, confessed to dropping tons of bombs on civilian areas, and begged Ukrainians forgive him for his “terrible crimes”.
He then issued an appeal to his Russian comrades now encircling Kyiv - where he himself is currently a prisoner of war.
