A former Russian soldier is alleged to have secretly collaborated with the Ukrainian military during the war in Ukraine by providing information on the positions of his own units. According to reports from the American newspaper Wall Street Journal, this intelligence reportedly enabled attacks that resulted in the deaths of more than 300 Russian soldiers, including high-ranking officers. In July 2024, he officially switched sides to fight against his former comrades. He justifies his decision by stating that Russian President Vladimir Putin has destroyed the values he once swore as a soldier to defend.
