The video of the invader's confession was published on Twitter by the Security Service of Ukraine.

"(The task was - ed.) to capture Kharkiv, occupy all the main roads, block civilian exits and occupy the city. Open fire on those who resist and on all residents of the city", the captive invader said.

When asked if his leaders ordered to shoot civilian objects, the invader answered affirmatively.

"Yes, and housing stock", the invader said.

According to him, the Russians planned to capture Kharkiv within three days.

At the same time, the invader admitted that he understood where he was going, and also added that the leadership called their task a "peacekeeping" mission.

"Yes, I knew (that I was going to Ukraine - ed.). (We were going - ed.) as peacekeepers to liberate Ukraine from the Nazis", the captive invader said.

The captured invader noted that his platoon arrived at the border with Ukraine on February 24 at 5:00 and added that after the capture of Kharkiv, the next task was to continue the offensive and capture other cities of Ukraine.
