The Russian military was deceived, Russian President Vladimir Putin wiped his feet in honour of the Russian officer.

From the military of Russia, they made those from whom the whole world turns away with horror, Aleksey Arestovich, adviser to the Office of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, told to Russian journalist Yulia Latynina.

Arestovich noted that the Russian military will not dissuade "orders and oaths, firing missiles at peaceful Ukrainian cities, killing Ukrainian children."

"…Putin wiped his feet on the honor of a Russian officer, on the honor of a Russian soldier. He stupefied you, corrupted you, made you the executioners of peaceful people, and the most unfortunate thing is that this was done by playing on your feeling, the natural feeling of every man to protect your homeland and even dedicate your life to such a profession. Therefore, when you went into the army, took an oath, I think you were guided by the best feelings, … - to protect your own … Which of you did …?", he asked.

The adviser added that the Russian military had been turned into scum.

"… You have been made scum, and it is up to you to decide whether you will remain them or not …" - said the adviser.

According to Arestovich, he believes that some of the officers and soldiers will be able to come to their senses and remember that they swore an oath to protect Russia, and not to destroy it and make it a scarecrow for the whole world.
