A former officer of Russia’s Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU), who is also a senior instructor of the Wagner army, has left Russia and arrived in Amsterdam, where he has requested political asylum, the Russian human rights project Gulagu.net reported.
The ex-GRU officer has expressed his readiness to testify before the International Criminal Court in The Hague about the war crimes committed by Russia in 2014-2015 and 2022, including the shelling of Donetsk, carried out with the aim of turning the population against the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
“War crimes evidence has been handed over to the Office of the Prosecutor and investigators from the International Criminal Court,” the statement said.
The name of the Russian is not revealed, but it is noted that the former officer has the rank of colonel and was the head of the so-called 4th department of the Special Operations Department of the “chief prosecutor’s office” of the puppet DNR.
