If you’re a farmer you’ll be kidnapped to dig trenches, if you’re a gamekeeper you become a rifleman, if you’re a shot putter you must join the artillery, if you’re a gravedigger you keep the same job….that’s the Russian army. 🙄
The Truth: FACT Men being sent to war and forced to fight for land that they dont own on both sides for rich men at the end of the day the land you fight for is not yours they your own government will come and take it if they choose they want it more than you we are nothing but numbers to the elite FACTS
reminds me of the Falklands war. The Argentine kids were scared stiff the Brits were gonna eat them 'cause their leaders had told them that's what the Brits did.

According to some Russians after the fall of the U.S.S.R. was a HORRFIC time of instability, violent crime & poverty n russia. putin came along & on the surface seemed to clean- up thè violent crime & stabilize the nation.Russians I guess don't want to go back to. the way things were in the 199⁰'s.

Exactly..They are virtually cousins they have family on both sides so it must be tough for them supporting UKRAINE and the other family members support RUSSIA
One russian soldier who had been captured said that the average age in his unit was 50 years old. They're conscripting anyone with a heartbeat. What's next? Dogs?
No he won't! Russia is losing, before the war is over Russia will be gone. " Russia" consists of MOSCOW. EVERYTHING ELSE ARE Conquered ETHNIC MINORITIES . Russia is a story of big talking people like Putin, Oligarchs that provide Money, ignorant subjugated masses of dirt poor minorities with little contact with the World at large. The average soldier in the Russian military doesn't have a toilet in the home that grew up in.
A Russian signature on contract is the same as the German WWll, keeping immaculate records. It's always amazing to me that the 'contracts' are a means of solid law where as true trust isn't an option. Russia is not to be trusted on paper or verbally.
Employment contracts are standard in most of Europe. If you go to work as a 7-11 cashier, you sign a contract. In the US, we don’t have any labor rights worth putting into a contract.
Captured Russian should be given visa to visit Europe and have their picture taken in front of European landmarks, eating ice cream with pretty girls. That will stop the war. ❤❤❤
Would be nice, though illegal. But until the war ends with a drastic change of Russia Government some sort of democracy and free speech... those soldiers will never again be able to return home without being arrested, and thier families will also suffer the consequence - as has happened to so many people who have simply questioned if their own Media was telling them the truth..
Hi Evgeny, glad to see you're still alive. PLEASE, don't die for Putin! Get outta there and save yourselve. Take as many young Russians as you can, they don't deserve to die for Putin!!
Intelligent, thoughtful soldier here. Good to keep in mind that choices for the population are very, very few. Obviously signing a contract is an introductory formality with zero provisions from it followed at all. Those contracts are followed as well as when this man, and his Unit was transferred from Kherson to Kursk. The stories of Russian widows receiving no money after the deaths of their husbands or family members are rampant. Sad state of affairs for any people to live. In addition, the rights to self determination loom large over the entire Russian nation, and others where the people are of minimal value. This will all change when the people change it. How, and when something like that could happen has no answer. There is seemingly abundant reasons for it to happen, however it is always up to the people to step forward to change it. Ironically in the case of Russia, they thought they had many, many years ago. We all know that real peace here can be achieved when Russian Forces vacate Ukrainian lands.

WTF? Asylum? For POWs, who came to Ukraine and killed Ukrainians? What fairy world do you think we live in. And let’s be honest here: the Ukrainians don’t take a lot of prisoners.
If 90 percent of the people do not want this war why is he fighting it then ? He could have just given himself up much earlier and not wait until captured.
What do you think, that they can raise their hand at any time and say "Excuse me...I'd like surrender"? Not like the opportunity to surrender is constantly there or anything.

That guy blurred out behind him has an external fixation device on his arm, probably a broken humerus from a bullet, showing that he is receiving advanced medical care from the Ukrainian Medical Service. Armies who supposedly torture POWs don’t do that kind of medical care. That’s the level of care you’d get in any modern hospital in the US.
There is at least one existant video of a Russian soldier doing this. Though it was more because he was seriously injured already. Though another guy with him in that same situation instead didn't try to run, but just surrendered, and survived and was uninjured.
This man shouldn't even been fighting at his age. A man his age if he's in the forces he should be a higher up with experience. But Russia just puts these men in war with no training.
Those prisoners willing to tell the truth should be given a temporary, anonymous online identity, and access to Russian social media. Especially telegram. The mothers already know.

Yes
Yes
Not convicts. They can, but can also be pressed into exchange. They are not magically de-criminalized when they get into Ukraine.
