“When we stopped their (Ukraine’s) next ‘mass attack’ and exterminated the leopards, we went to the charred equipment in the hope of finding prisoners,” he recalled. RIA Novosti commander of a reconnaissance group operating in the direction of Zaproža, whose call sign was said to be “Legend”.

“We found that the tank driver was seriously injured and the others were dead. “When the mechanic woke up and saw us, he started shouting ‘nicht scrießen’ (don’t shoot, editor’s note),” Legend continued in his story which of course cannot be independently verified.

The Russian agency often propagates the Kremlin’s narrative, including blaming NATO for Russia’s difficulties during the war in Ukraine – the countries of the North Atlantic Alliance, which also includes Germany, supported Kiev with supplies of weapons and equipment – ​​but the details of this story raise suspicions, even smiles. Even German magazines excessive calling it possible propaganda.

The legend goes on to say that he spoke “very good German.” “(The assault tank mechanic) said several times that he was not a mercenary, but a Bundeswehr soldier, as well as the entire crew of his company,” continued the Russian fighter.

He described his unit providing first aid to a “German” soldier while he himself reported the location of the tank attack and the unit’s position.

“I asked the doctor how long he had to live and he said a few minutes. So I told the German that his injury was too serious and he had no chance of surviving. “He told me that he loved his children and wife very much and he regretted agreeing to come (to Ukraine),” explained the Russian occupier.

“We started preparing him for evacuation, but he fell unconscious and died after a few minutes,” adds Legend about the alleged “German” soldier’s final minutes.

The commander of the reconnaissance group also shared his initial feelings after he learned that there was a German crew in the tank – he realized that it didn’t matter what crew was in the Leopard, and he rejoiced.

“Ukrainian fighters or German soldiers. The result would be the same: German tanks would burn and American tanks would also burn. Even if they are led by Americans,” stressed the man, who supposedly “appealed” to Western soldiers to “think” about participating in the fighting.

“Let them think with their own heads, about their children, their wives, before they start fighting with Russia,” the man RIA Novosti called an “intelligence officer” concluded his extraordinary story.

Analysts from the Canadian company previously said that people should not trust news from RIA Novosti too much. Geopolitics Monitor. That they are allies of the Russian regime is proven, for example, by the erroneous publication of a planned article with the headline The Coming of Russia and the New Worldwhich was supposed to be released to celebrate the conquest of Ukraine.

RIA Novosti released it two days after launching Russia’s massive and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, which Canadian analysts said was clear evidence that Russia planned to conquer Ukraine in “roughly two days.” But Putin miscalculated and the war has been going on for almost 19 months.

“Russia is recovering the fullness of its history, gathering the Russian world – the Russian people – as a whole,” read the article, which was directly pulled from the site. However, it is still publicly available on the server WBM.
