In russia, the representative of the so-called ‘elites’ are wary of their future and are therefore looking for contacts with Ukraine and other countries in order to seal security guarantees for themselves after russia’s defeat. This was stated by Andrii Yusov, a representative of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, on the air of the nationwide telethon.

“They are reaching out, of course. And not only to Ukraine. There’s a quite wide range of countries where they are trying to get personal security guarantees for themselves, for their wealth, and for their families,” the DIU representative said.

Andrii Yusov noted that the russians are primarily undertaking these efforts in order to avoid possible prosecution in the future.

“Now this mostly concerns the conditional business elite, but there are already also representatives of the political segment from the top kremlin offices. This process will only gain momentum,” Andrii Yusov said.

According to the DIU outlook, the greater the successes of the Ukrainian security and defence forces, the more such contacts will be made.

“Ukraine, of course, employs any tools and the most creative approaches in order to speed up the liberation of our territories and bring the aggressor state to justice. Many contacts are being made and operations are being implemented, of which we can’t talk now. But after our victory, believe me, there will be a lot of interesting things,” Andrii Yusov concluded.
