RT spoke with acquaintances of the new commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Syrsky in Russia. His mother was offered to renounce her son, and some people who grew up with him consider him a traitor.

“A normal person doesn’t do this. We had an evening meeting with graduates, many knew Alexander and everyone unanimously condemned him and said that he was a traitor - he was fighting against his own,” said RT’s interlocutor.
