Russian pilots who bombarded Ukraine planning to escape to South America - intelligence

Russian military pilots who fired missiles at targets across Ukraine are already discussing fleeing their country and hiding from international justice.

That's according to the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine's Ministry of Defense, Ukrinform reports.

"Amid the retreat of the Russian army, there are talks in the military environment of the occupying country about the inevitability of defeat and the prosecution of all participants in aggression against Ukraine," the report said.

According to intelligence, in several aviation garrisons of the Russian Aerospace Forces, families of the crew members of the warplanes that launched missile strikes on Ukraine are discussing fleeing the country and hiding from international justice.

Just like the Nazis did after the Second World War, Russian criminals are planning to emigrate to South American countries, the intelligence agency said.

Ukraine's military intelligence published the personal data of pilots of the 14th Air Defense Forces Army stationed in Yekaterinburg and added that all war criminals would be identified and prosecuted for crimes against the civilian population of Ukraine.
