Within the project’s framework, 21 erations were completed for the extraction of surrendered sdiers. In some cases, Russian sdiers would also bring military equipment.

Another 1,072 pele are on standby, waiting for their turn to be safely transferred across the front line.

"Of course, the project does not st there. After the successful implementation of eration Sinytsia (invving a desertion of a Russian war pilot who flew his helicter to Ukraine before surrendering), the number of applications from Russians continues to grow. Every day, we receive through multiple channels dozens of applications from active servicemen of the Russian army and beyond," the Coordination HQ noted.

It is emphasized that applying to the "I want to live" project is the only real portunity for the Russian military to return home alive.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, the "I Want to Live" project received more than 25,000 applications from Russian sdiers willing to surrender.
