Released Ukrainian soldiers learn of Kursk invasion for the first time in major prisoner swap
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- Footage has emerged of some of the Ukrainian soldiers freed in a major prisoner swap with Russia reacting with excitement and disbelief as they learn about the latest developments in the war.
Some of the POWs were captured in the early days of the invasion and have had little access to information about how the conflict was developing, according to Belarusian opposition outlet Nexta, which shared the video.
Ukraine launched a surprise incursion into the southern border region of Kursk last month, capturing around 500 square miles of Russian territory , which it is mostly still holding, although Russia claims to have recaptured some settlements in recent days.
Other photos and videos shared online show the released Ukrainians taking selfies, posing with flags and embracing their fellow servicemen.

Imagine being captured in the first days of the war and spending the last two years being told that your country has been conquered and no longer exists only to find out that not only is your country still in the fight but is on the offensive.

Then losing all of its gained territory and own territory...

ruski fellas didn't look very relieved to be going back

Well.... not exactly. In an interview in the Kyiv Independent on the 2nd September, General Syrskyi, the commander of the Ukrainian armed forces of Ukraine announced that the Kursk offensive has failed and that there's now a two month window for an operational tactical withdrawal back toward the Ukrainian border.
If that's the case why are they still advancing into Russian territory?

Yep, ukraine does not send under 25y old to the front. Because of underpopulation.

They should show THAT instead of pro-russian propaganda on German TV! It would help people understand the facts.
Germany is under Russian influence if we consider the propaganda
This is also war propaganda. Every major news outlet spread either pro Russian or pro Ukrainian war propaganda.

I would agree in general but the video stated most Ukrainians had been captured early in the offensive while the Russians were only captured last month. Not a lot of time for the level if care to make a huge difference to appearance, assuming outright torture is not being applied.
The Russian prisoners look in much better shape and much less happy to be going home.

Did he he learn about what's happening in the east? And the recent russian counter offensive in kursk in which they liberated more then 10 towns and still advancing.
@@bieber_and_dolik
No such counter offensive has been made. What really happened is that Russia has advanced a bit and captured one town.
Thank Putin for negotiation..
@@Pikkabuuit's not just one town. Stop watching Denys bro. Visit Suriyak map lol
@Pikkabuu bullshit. Look at the map.
If the Russian prisoners were ones that had just been captured in the Kursk region, it seems like Ukraine got the better of that deal in terms of regaining better trained soldiers.
In theory yes, in practice no. The Ukrainian POWs in russian captivity don't have oversight from international orgs like red cross, and are subjected to very harsh treatment, including starvation. So most of these soldiers will have months if not years of rehabilitation, and there were some cases where they passed away from ailments acquired during their incarceration inside russia.
@@rafflesmaos Sadly yes and no one in state media talks about that. We have political parties supporting Russia and they dont touch that topic at all. The systematic torture of prisoners and killing of them.
@@rafflesmaosproof or it didn't happen. I heard the Iraqi kills babies in incubators, too.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
If I were a russian captive I would rather NOT be exchanged back
Meanwhile, the released Russian POWs likely received no fanfare and were sent directly back into the meatgrinder. I'd imagine most Russian POWs didn't want to be exchanged for that very reason.
Source: trust me bro
@@KreshPlays
That is why they said "look like". Their expression is not a happy one. Try arguing with their actual point rather than some poor interpretation of their words.
At the very least, going home to ALOT of insults for surrendering, and likely placed in penal battalions as punishment.
Thats the case for ukrianian pow returning home not russian ones.
It’s gonna get awkward if some of them are the ones where Russia told their families they died to get out of paying their salaries
❤Ukrainians ❤
So nice to see these heroes return home. I hope they share their stories with the world to remind us of their bravery and the horror of Russian aggression to remind us all why this fight is so important. Prayers out to all their comrades who remain in captivity

Welcome home boys.
SO what did they learn? That Ukrainians invaded Kursk region at the cost of heavy losses, to obtain literally nothing. While the Eastern front totally collapsed? I woudl almost cry as well lmao.
Oh yes that's what Russian news says. That the invasion in Kursk is small and will be destroyed by Russian forces any day now, any day now.
That was weeks ago.. Ukraine has captured more territory than Russia has taken in the last year and a half.
@@RighteousInquisition Oh yes that's what Ukrainian news says.
@@RighteousInquisitionand that exact captured territory gives them what?
It got to be so cool thinking about it in absolute values. But what if we look at the relative values? (The percentage of captured territory of the country)
@@TheFirstMantoDie Enough POWs to force Moscow to start POW exchanges again and release even untouchables like the Mariopol defenders? Diverting 40 000 russian troops from the East? Force Russian command to actually start manning their border properly, since so far they simply sent some conscripts and called it a day - confident that AFU would never dare to say...invade Kursk? Disrupt russian logistics even further?
The Russian exchange prisoners were newly surrendered conscripts in the Kursk invasion. The Russian conscripts were reportedly sent back to their bases to be issued weapons and sent to the Kursk frontlines. By Russian law, conscripts cannot fight in Ukraine and can only fight on Russian soil.
Ukraine 🇺🇦 should really have went for Moscow instead of Kursk but I guess the city of Kursk will have to do for now… the Russian 🇷🇺 population brought this upon themselves when they started an unprovoked war with Ukraine.
What? They're nowhere near the city of kursk.
Lmao 12 people agreeing with this is why false news spreads so easily. They're in kursk _oblast_ (barely), not kursk city. Anyone who would take 5 seconds to look at a map could become 100x more educated on this conflict within minutes.
Bro thinks all of kursk got captured 😂 and what city? Don't say sudzha because that's a town.
Unprovoked. Yeah right.
@@japmd17Yes. Unprovoked.
I wonder what their reactions were when they found out half of the Kurk capture was retaken by Russia. Or that Prokovsk is close to the Russian army. Or that Vuladar is soon to be captured. Or Selydove is close to being captured
The same as always. They don't listen to the wet dreams of Russias simps.

Ask them what happening in Pokrovsk 😊
I wonder if they will be send back out again to the front line, how does this usually goes in real life ?
They are soldiers still . Unless unfit for service , once recovered most of these men will return to defending their homeland from the occupier .
Definitely, they’re already struggling to mobilize people, they’ll have to send the POWs back to fill the lines that are undermanned. I’m sure this happens on both sides though
Some may willing,y go on to fight. Depending on their treatment in Russia they may need rehab.
Ukrainian prisoners have a choice if they want to return or retire
These poor men and young men forced to fight a pointless war cause of a tyrants greed

1:24 Drapped in the Ukrainian Marine Corp flag. He's from the 36th Marine Brigade, who defended Mariupol. It's very likely he got captured near the start of the war.
He knows nothing of all the massive losses and almost a million dead.
Did they tell them about all the casualties and the situation in Donbass?… Probably not…
Where the Russian People told that Russia lost already 600.000 young men , that Putin started this war , that Ukraine is fighting to defend their country. That russian people get fooled by Putin and his cronies.
I guess they know since Russia has been there for 2 years now and failed to make major progresses since then.
@@TueLesPigeons Bakhmut was proclaimed a strategically important fortress city, it got conquered, it was called unimportant afterwards. Then Avdiivka was proclaimed a strategically important fortress city, it was lost, it was called unimportant place afterwards. Now Chasiv Yar is their important fortress city and it is currently slowly being conquered by Russia.
Ukraines gamble with Kursk weakened their frontline, causing them to lose ground more quickly, like "nearly" getting their troops encircled at Pokrovsk causing them to retreat.
The war is far from going great, not even for Russia but especially not for Ukraine.
