Russian intelligence agencies are blackmailing Ukrainian volunteer and soldier Mykhailo Puryshev, threatening to kill his son.

Puryshev reported this in a video message.

He stated that FSB agents contacted him via his son’s phone and offered “cooperation.” According to the volunteer, if he refuses, Russian intelligence agencies are threatening to kill his child.

Puryshev also stated that his son could be sent to the front lines to fight in the war against Ukraine.

The FSB is blackmailing me! There are two options: the first is that I “befriend” them and they help my son… And the second option is that I don’t cooperate with them, and they’ll simply kill my son

Despite the threats, Puryshev refused to cooperate. He stated that he is choosing a third option—to travel to Moscow to try to save his son, possibly at the cost of his own freedom, health, and life. According to his team, the volunteer is already on his way to the Russian capital.

As a reminder, according to new draft orders from Russia’s FSB, border zones will be abolished in the Rostov and Voronezh regions, as well as between the temporarily occupied Crimea and the Kherson region.
