According to her, Russians recounted that "Ukrainian servicemen brought them their own food and shared their last supplies."
"We must not dehumanize them and see only an empire of evil," said the Russian ombudsman. Moskalkova also reminded that Ukrainians are Orthodox Christians.
"We must fight for them, for their souls and spirituality. That is what we are doing," she assured.
