A guilt-ridden Russian officer says he resigned from the military out of shame for the invasion of Ukraine "People around us were dying," he told CNN. "I didn't want to feel like I was part of it, but I was a part of it."
"We were dirty and tired. People around us were dying. I didn't want to feel like I was part of it, but I was a part of it," the officer told CNN.
He said he went to find his commander and resigned his commission on the spot.
