Over 40,000 Russian soldiers have applied to Ukraine's I Want to Live project

The press service of the I Want to Live Unified Center for Receiving Appeals of Russian Military Servicemen for Surrender reported the information.

“In the two years since its launch, we have received 40,157 requests on all channels: Telegram, WhatsApp, chatbot, and the hotline,” the statement said.

This number continues to grow in real time, despite persistent efforts by Russian special services to oppose and hinder such actions.

“Regardless of the situation on the front line, operations to evacuate Russian servicemen who have voluntarily surrendered continue uninterrupted and are consistently carried out by our operatives. On average, every two days we evacuate members of the Russian Armed Forces to the Ukrainian side,” the I Want to Live project emphasized.

The organization further emphasized that the I Want to Live project serves as a vital guarantee for preserving the lives of Russians who are being forced by the Kremlin regime to choose between dying under fire from the Ukrainian military or being killed by their own for refusing to fight.

• Earlier, the I Want to Live project reported that the hotline for the state program of voluntary surrender is receiving more direct calls from Russian soldiers themselves, rather than from their relatives.
• As of March, the site had already received more than 33,000 requests from the Russian military. At that time, 50 to 100 requests were received daily.
