The head of Britain’s MI6 secret service appealed on Wednesday to Russians terrified by the war in Ukraine to spy for the UK and end the bloodshed.
Speaking in Prague, Richard Moore appealed to Russians “struggling with their conscience” to take a stand against the Putin regime and offered them the chance to “share secrets with MI6”.

Delivering his speech at the British embassy in Prague, he likened the current situation in Ukraine to the Prague Spring in 1968, when the Soviet Union rolled back liberal reforms.
“As they witness the aggression, infighting and callous incompetence of their leaders, many Russians are struggling with the same dilemmas as their predecessors in 1968,” Moore said.
“I invite them to do what others have done over the last 18 months and join forces with us. Our door is always open. Their secrets will be safe and together we will work to bring an end to the bloodshed,” Moore stressed.
“There are many Russians today who are silently horrified by the sight of their armed forces leveling Ukrainian cities, evicting innocent families from their homes and abducting thousands of children. They watch in horror as their soldiers pillage a kindred country. They know within themselves that Putin’s decision to attack a Slavic nation is unjustifiable,” the MI6 chief continued.
