These former soldiers just seem like lost souls wandering in a world they don't understand. It is good to see that they are being given a safe environment and looked after correctly. A very interesting video.
Not as the Russians treat Ukrainian POWs. Btw this camp is near Polish border. Olenivka, where Ukrainian POWs were blown up by the Russians, is 10km from the frontline
Possibly there was some pre-selection of the POW´s. These lost souls whom dont seem to have been active in war atrocities, are located in this rather calm and quiet surroundings, where they do have a chance to relax, calm down, land; come to insight, and repent... Its quite possible the violently pro russians, or suspected for atrocities, are sent to camps with more strict regim where they also hold interrogatings.... Ps. The discipline here which seems a little overdone? Soldiers overall, and especially russian soldiers, ARE used to discipline. Its perfectly normal to them, and really calming. So although its essentially and visibly a prison too, for them its really just a normal military barrack discipline.... Conditions and food also better than in russian military barracks. The ONLY real difference they dont have any weapon treaning here...
@@barneydenstad2148 I agree totally. They may also have been worried about being filmed in case there are repercussions when eventually they get back to Russia.
Its almost like humans attached to the matrix, seeing the world for the first time with eyes never used.
@@OlavAlexanderMjelde I think this is a new world for them. They were told to fight evil Ukranian Nazis. They found no Nazis. Were captured and treated fairly when they expected brutality. No wonder they are confused.
Very good you showed this camp! It's important to treat POWs with dignity, and maintain their health. You have to keep the high ground and righteousness, this is the way to continue to win hearts and minds and keep the global support for your defense efforts.
Working for less than 100$ a month and on top of that they have to pay for expenses doesn't look like they are treated with dignity and righteousness
@@valuerc2664 well then I can only imagine what you think about the Russians treated of POWs and even just civilians for that matter. Remember these guys are prisoners, it isn't a vacation retreat...they are thankful to be alive. The others are laying on the ground where they're squadron left them to rot. Even if they're just wounded and not killed immediately, the Russians leave them right there to crawl around until they die.
@@atmosrepair 100$ a month working 8 hours a day is worst than slavery. I know that German pow in USA after WW2 were paid decent, no less than minimum wage
@@valuerc2664 $100 is worse than slavery, slaves work for free. Oh yeah you mean like Russian military, Sent to die for a dictator. The prices for what they need are not the same as what you pay. So it's not like they're running to the supermarket, going shopping and buying homes. they're imprisoned captured soldiers of an invading force, who has shelled civilians, who has looted homes of innocent bystanders, who have raped innocent women,, Russians tortured and killed POWs and buried them in shallow mass Graves in Izium. You gotta go and figure it all out.
@@valuerc2664 “Prisoners of war shall be paid a fair working rate of pay by the detaining authorities direct. The rate shall be fixed by the said authorities, but shall at no time be less than one-fourth of one Swiss franc for a full working day. “
Volodomyr Zolkin did a video like this a while ago. Contrast Ukrainian POW locations with Russian ones. Ukrainians come back from them in the exchange starved with accounts of psychological torture, and filthy because of Russian conditions for them. Russians come back to their side healthy and clean and rested. The Ukrainians while passing the Russians during prisoner exchange like to say to them, "You're going the wrong way!"
but even you dont believe it, right?
It’s called propaganda😂😂😂😂😂
Just search it for yourself,
(Ukrainian soldiers returning from prisoner exchange)
They look like heroine addicts with facial features sunk in but instinctively share whatever food folks had gotten them.
Some as gettin McDonald's when you get outta County jailhouse, but you dont have to or want to share your food.
Shout out to the Ukrainian soldier that joined the army to stop the Russians firing artillery all willy nilly and destroying his local McDonald's
I made this very point on the contrast between the two groups of prisoners to RT news which is the propaganda mouthpiece of the Kremlin.
@@daltonurofsky3145 russian propaganda yes
This is how you run a POW camp. It is definitely very eastern european in aesthetic but not stereotypical in treatment. Hope Ukraine wins and these guys can go home to their families, especially those forced to fight.
An eastern European aesthetic, yes, but it certainly is no Stalin era Gulag. I'm not sure what your definition of stereotypical treatment is, but what I see here is definitely humane... downright gracious if you ask me. They are not sent there to die or be tortured and abused. It's clean, safe, adequately meets physical, spiritual, and mental needs. They have work which is far preferable to sitting around and brooding. Boring work, but still burns pent up energy and keeps them from going utterly mad. People commenting here criticizing the inmate's low "wages" are living in some kind of bizarre alternate reality. The Ukraine is fighting for its life. There's not a lot of money to lavish on POWs who invaded their home!
Forced to fight? They were part of a Russian militia for years. They're brutal murderers to the bone.
I was wondering where the POW camps were and how they operated, so this was very interesting to watch. These prisoners are lucky - they are likely to survive the war whereas the Ukrainian troops who captured them in the first place but are still fighting may not. I imagine that giving the POWs work to do helps pass the time and probably cuts down on problems.
Not all the camps are in Donbas, they brought Azov to Russia and then others in the area which was bombed by Russia Olenivka where 200 Ukrainians were burned to death and others bodies cut into pieces.. That was how Russians treat their POW’s but Olenivka is in Donetsk so yeah most of the camps are in Eastern Ukraine and Azov are in Russia.. Maybe Siberia.. not sure which part.
Well said!
On the channel where they interview POWs they went to one of these camps and showed around the place. It was crazy how much food they had on hand to feed them. It's was on Zolkins channel, sorry I can't remember his first name
Well...until the orks start dumping Kalibrs on the POW camp. Its the one thing they didn`t attack in free UA...yet
@@Rschaltegger Nah only Ukraine had done that in this war, to tie up some loose ends :))
Very interesting piece of reporting. If all prisoners of war are being treated like this Ukraine is doing a first- rate job.
Too bad nazi USSR is torturing their POWs
Not all are are u kidding
Don't you know that TV is not real be f****** serious
It is reported that Ukraine murdered at least 12,000 of there incarcerated prisoners to make room.
That's what they want you to think as they bomb and kill civilians in Donetsk city.
I believe they are very thankful for being in the camp alive and well. They are very healthy and being taken care of. May they count their blessings being safe.
Seeing a pow chopping wood is pretty crazy. Ukraine is doing it right
I hope they can tell people back in Russia about this, although I know in the past many of their own family members didn’t believe them. They may be more ready to get on board now.
@@mr.g816 they weren't just "chopping wood" but were making wood chips that they packaged up and sent off. They were doing something that was useful, just like the pallets and bags were useful. It wasn't just a meaningless task like breaking rocks. People have to be able to do something useful for their own sanity and mental health.
I always include Ukraine in my prayers and ask the Lord to fill the Ukrainians with wisdom in this terrible times. Slava Ukraini
Fill them with willpower, determination and a fighting spirit.
I see u on almost every video related to Ukraine with the same text lol
Yeh well, it's not working.
@@1isaacperkins They are winning the war so I'd say prayers are working ya downer.
@@1isaacperkins if you believe in the living God and pray He shall have mercy and you will be filled with His grace. The Holy God shall hear the pleas of the Ukrainian people and His believers.
It probably says something about how eager they are not to be sent back to the front that you can hand the prisoners _axes_ and nothing goes wrong
That amazed me too. It also says a lot about the POW's own perception of their conditions.
I wonder why do I doubt we could find the same in Russian POW camps? Hmm...
That and that they are also not criminals. But I think if they capture those criminals from Wagner group. It’s gonna be different to deal with.
@@dannggg I agree, I don't expect that Wagner Group POW's will be entrusted with axes and the same relative level of freedom as normal POW's, that would be much too risky.
Thank you for the English translation 🇺🇦
Why you put a stupid ukraine province flag???
@@ericmarieke8719 Why do you support mass murder & torture?
@@ericmarieke8719 cope
I actually have some respect for the guy who is a new father and an engineer and who made it very clear that “Russia INVADED Ukraine”! Hoping he didn’t kill anybody and just wanted to get out of that war as fast as possible. I don’t think you have a bad set up Russians and you’re lucky that you’re there!
Participation in War is not weighted by the number of kills ( even if killings doesn't help your standard in a POW camp ) You can be a driver of crucial materials, an intelligence expert, IT attacker, propaganda specialist or assist the invading force in a hundred different ways, including financial, moral and spiritual. 98 % of the POW's in this camp were clearly on the Rus. side for whatever reason, personal, family, monetary etc. Ultimately it doesn't matter. They were wearing Rus. uniforms and they were caught fighting for ( or assisting ) the invasion of a massive Military force, up to 5000 heavy Trucks and 5000 battle Tanks. A force so large that it changed the color of the landscape, from space !
The POWs in this video are not Russians.
@@mountainguyed67 You are correct. They only speak Russian and they claim to be from Russia, while having stolen Russian uniforms and weapons. In fact, they aren't POW's at all. They were released a day after this video and they are now fishing in Kentucky. I have video evidence but I can't share it because that would break UN protocol. Have a nice day :)
@@server1ok You didn’t watch the video or don’t retain what you hear. The interviewer was commenting about how well the POW spoke Ukrainian. It was also mentioned that the POWs are Ukrainian separatists. And they don’t claim to be from Russia, they named Ukrainian cities when asked where they were from. It’s also common for Ukrainians to speak both Russian and Ukrainian, Zelensky even speaks Russian.
@@mountainguyed67 🤣 as if there's a difference, they took up arms vs. the AFU which is internationally recognized National force of Ukraine. This makes them POW's and they are welcome to fish in Kentucky for all I care, hahaha
This guys are very lucky. Bravo to Ukraine 🇺🇦
I bet several of those prisoners are pretty pleased with not being shot at. Still, I feel for the ones that where forced into service but Ukraine cannot know who is a forced soldier and who is loyal to the local separatists.
I think you can tell by the equipment. The ones with WW1 weapons on the frontline are more likely to be forced.
this is Ukrainians that join the enemy they are traitors and should be shoot for treason !! And i don't care about some of the cry baby stories everyone has a reason to become a traitor or not it does not make it right you made a choice you know well that your choice made you a traitor and was putting other countryman and your nation at danger you made your bed regardless of your reasons YOU ARE A TRAITOR and you have commented trison and death should be your punishment !!
the sad part about this conflict it's that they be sending conscripts that barely turned 18 to fight a war they dind't even want to be in
@@cubandaddy8351 they grab them off the street like its ww2. people just going out to get some bread only to end up dead.
@@cubandaddy8351 Yeah that kid with the leg injury seemed like he was barely out of his teens, if even.
Для тих умов, в яких вони звикли жити на дамбасі, це літня відпустка.
Чтобы понять войну на Украине, посмотрите видео: "Швейцарское чудовище - база дъявола".
That no Vodka rule turns it back into hell.
These are incredibly lucky men. Treated properly and with respect. They will survive this terrible time and be able to go home.
Tbf they are probably more healthy now than when in Russia working in the mines etc
they might get executed when they get sent back tbh.
They might be shot for being caught, or they might get sent back out on the front lines because now they have experience
@@ellasmommy9278 That assumes they are released during the war, which is unlikely. Ukraine even allowes them to deny a prisoner exchange if they dont want to go back.
@@MrJaldal Cuz if they will return back to Russia Russia will treat them like they're betrayers. Some might get a sentence.
The Ukraine Army treat their POWs far way better than how Pootin treat his military and people. Huge respect to Ukraine for their dignity, resilience and love for humanity.
Jajajajajajaja really?????

You can surely bet a month's wages that the orcs do not treat Ukrainian POW's with any kind of decency. Just remember, God's memory does not fade, He does not forget the evil perpetrated against the innocent. HIS justice will prevail, in HIS time. God bless Ukraine.
No one should be described as an orc, surely that's a fascist statement by you! God bless all men who repent.
@@fluffymadsquirrel5946 cry troll
Interesting what the ukrainian LPR citizen said: If you want to get a good job, or study at a good school, you must first do your military service... So its almost as in Heinleins Starship Troopers: If you want to get full citizenship rights (and with it some extra privilegies), so at first you must do your military term... So even if it technically is possible not to, but in practical life; if you are a man with any ambitions, you do your military service...
And because of the political situation and pressure from his community, he felt he had no choice but to join the LPR. I feel like that is probably true.
These guys have been indoctrinated by Ukraine quite a bit while in prison, and I don't blame Ukraine for the re-education, but it is propaganda. And yet propaganda doesn't have to be something only the forces of the enemy or adversary get to use. It is also a force for good. "Bad" propganda often has to be fought with "good" propoganda as much as the truth.
They are trying to show other Separatists they are wrong about Ukraine trying to suppress their language, etc. The scary thing is is the absolute truth. Russia is responsible for all of this. Their lies and particular brand of propaganda made these guys believe Ukraine was out to get them, and now Ukraine is trying to do all that.
But it makes some of these interviews not feel genuine, while others I think the prisoner is a little more honest.
Take the guy at the end - the interviewer badgered that guy to admit it probably was an LPR mine that maimed his son. That was uncomfortable for me - even though the interviewer had a good point, its not exactly journalism.
The prisoner at the 10:30 mark was the most real in terms of a Separatist. He just wanted to be left alone by everyone and to live his best life - but he's only just now starting to realize that maybe Russia was lying to him. But he can't be sure because of where he is living.
The questioned prisoners seem to be there through a survival instinct of life's twists and turns, not every decision in life is the right one , but what you think is needed at that moment in time. Right now there surviving.
You can tell it by the answers... They say what is needed to be said... Even interviewer raise his voice if answer in not like he said...
You can tell a lot about a country by the way they treat their, sick, homeless and incarcerated. If I had a Ukrainian passport I'd move there in a heartbeat.
Do it, they’d welcome you with their arms open. Hopefully you like Nazis …
Lol you should.
Well, you can move there. It's not that hard, but I'd wait until this situation is stabilized. I love Ukraine, my boss is Ukrainian and gave me a great job, but they are not perfect like anyone.
Right now they have every right to be angry and upset. I hope they treat prisoners properly. Prisoners of war are different that domestic criminals in many ways.
Yeah here it’s disgusting, you don’t see homeless ppl running around Ukraine and they’re not a rich country like us..
I spent 5 years there on and off in the city of Dnipro from 2014 and there is a lot going for it but also there is a down side also! I enjoyed my time there and also seen many aspects that will give you food for thought!! I also travelled around to Lviv and Odessa in fact I was to return this year and look for an apartment in Odessa so I can return for vacations and days off work. I do regard Ukraine as my second home but as to live there in all honesty I would not! So, go visit, look around, interact with the people, learn their history when this is all over, I would recommend it and you will be pleasantly surprised
Good documentary. The man with six kids and a wife with cancer is an example of how Russia's cruelly uses Ukrainians. He needed to work to support his family and couldn't get work without joining Russia's proxy army.
Yet that man also absolutely knew where he was and chose a side. And still he refuses to admit reality.
Why wouldnt an independent state which has become a country before not be allowed its own Army to protect itself within its own boundries that were already set in 2014 as well as previous to that? Even a citizen can do that, defend their own land/property...
@@andrewscoggins4747 Family problems.When you have a family with six kids not easy to deal with reality, because the family might suffer.
This is often the case in the rural parts of Russia, they are fed lies upon lies from State, generally no access to outside information and desperate for work.
While being no offers other than the Army. Yet people want to say he had a choice, let's not forget how dangerous propaganda is,
without it WW2 wouldn't have happened.

What an astonishing video. To me the most striking aspect is seeing how these people seem so totally lost and broken. Like if they are more shellshocked by the way they are treated as prisoners than they were by bombs.
It seems like they don't even dare to think by themselves and are limiting their opinions to what they can directly touch and feel, not daring to see anything beyond the tip of their nose. Like if they were trained not to think further than their very survival.
The father talking about his 15 years old son losing a leg doesn't dare to have an opinion about who might have planted antipersonnel mines in his town, which was not under Ukrainian control.
No wonder one official says maybe their consciousness will awaken, meaning they lost whatever spark they had and are completely asleep.
Then they all look so eager to eat and are clearly enjoying what they get, like if this is some of the best grub they ever had.
Clearly the standards and level of living in Ukraine are much higher than what these guys have been accustomed to.
The way these people must have lived under Russian control seems like total misery and a coercitive control of minds and bodies reminding of a concentration camp. Meaning their life as war prisoners in an Ukrainian POW camp seems considerably better in some aspects than their previous life.
The fact that the Russian soldiers are treated quite well for prisoners of war, is a testament to the goodness of the Ukrainian people.
This is a good example of a country with laws
They should send this video to Putin maybe he'll learn something how you treat people.
@@berniecom728 Nah. He is incapable of learning.
@@berniecom728 he will send another wave 🤣🤣
Far from it, Ukraine is one of the most corrupt countries, that has been a known fact for a long time now.
@@prairieweasel Where did you get your story, what have they done to be so corrupt? Give us some facts, nobody hardly heard of Ukraine till Trump threatened them to hold back millions of dollars in military equipment aids for a favor.
Great job you did here!!! Excellent view into POW life in Ukraine for the Prosecution of War Criminals later to prove how Ukraine treated POW's vs Russia. Thank you very much! Best Regards and Best Wishes!
Those POW's are being treated very well. Eating well, being treated well, excellent sleeping arrangements, even TV, movies, and an area to play sports.
I was wondering how the Ukraine was handling the POW's. Very informative video. Thanks.
Zelensky is keeping his promises to its highest. so honorable.
Zelensky is the one that attacked these people in the first place. Who do you think set the mine that the mans kid stepped on? Why do you think these people were fighting UAF in the first place? Because Zelensky is a good leader? NO
@@Deno2100 in 2015 (when that mine went off) Zelenskyy was still an actor and comedian. He only became president in 2019. And then brokered a ceasefire and POW exchange during the Normandy format meeting.
Відправте діставати після артобстрілів тіла з-під завалів . Хай подивляться кого сюди привели і що вони наробили.
Yes. You have a point.
Brilliant to say absolutely fantastic god bless Ukraine
I think showing compassion and treating these men decently as they appear to be here goes a long way to improving the situation. I feel sorry for these men caught in the middle of a conflict and having to go to war for money to feed their families. They may remember the kindness they were shown here in the future, so this will help to heal things.
I especially felt sad for the man whose son whose leg was blown off and who went to fight because his wife had breast cancer. That was gut wrenching.
Politicians war that their forced to fight
Compassionß For what?For killing defenless civilians?
The town that I live in was incorporated as a prisoner of war site back in WW2. the war was over before it was needed but the town still remained. I got a letter two weeks ago from the Army Corp of Engineers telling me that I live on an old bombing range and that I should be aware of unexploded ordnance. I often wondered why there were so many 50 cal. slugs laying around.
Knew a base once that had a bomb threat. turns out lots of buried unexploded ordinance was around. Was quite amusing. No one got hurt though.
Oh God that's scary
Watching the prisoners eat brought tears to my eyes, I cried for the goodness that the Ukrainians showed to their enemy. Jesus would do the same.
I kinda' noticed that Mary wasn't far behind, either. There was a rosary on one of the tables with the books.
Mooie rapportage. Van deze kant heb ik de oorlog nog niet gezien. Wat moet je als Oekraïne een groot hart hebben om deze gevangen soldaten goed te behandelen. Zeker gezien de moorden en martelingen die de Russische soldaten plegen. Slava Ukraine from the Netherlands 🌎🇳🇱❤️🇺🇦
inderdaad
Muy bien tratados los prisioneros
Alle vragen die ze stellen aan de gevangenen zijn volgens de conventie van Genève VERBODEN.
Deze gevangenen worden illegaal vastgehouden vermits ukraine een provincie is van Rusland.
I am very grateful that you translate these interviews into English. It is important to let the world know and stay engaged into the plight of Ukraine.
It’s crazy how old so many of the POW’s are. I’ve worked directly with military families on military bases in the US for a long time. And the ages of the personnel is half that age and in great shape in very nice housing. Just like new houses you see in around the country. And they are very well trained here. From my house, 10 plus miles away, I can here the practice rounds going off certain days of the week. Combat air training missions are flying over regularly everyday. You know when they are training with the heavy stuff. It vibrates though the house.
im pretty sure most of the pows are from seperatist militias and those "peoples republics" have been scraping the barrel when it comes to manpower for years. and most of them are dirtpoor too.
it must be honestly admitted that the LNR / DNR units were somehow "elite" at the beginning of the war. Not because equipment and weapons are always outdated. Not because of training, much worse than the Russian Spetsnaz or VDV elite. These were volunteer formations with eight years of combat experience in the Donbas. The problem is that these people are no more - physically: both so-called "republics" did not have a very large population, and the Russians treated these soldiers like cannon fodder from the very beginning. Anyway, they still treat - the remnants of LNR are carved out in Lyman, the remnants of DNR together with the Wagnerites storm Ukrainian bunkers near Bakhmut. The scale of mobilization in the Donbass is unimaginable, no wonder that very young and very old "soldiers", such as the Nazi "Volksgrenadiers", are taken into captivity.
I noticed the age of the POWs also. (And the recent conscripts in Russia!) In the US, we would call these men retired veterans! These are all they could find in Luhansk and Donetsk? Seems like all the prime draft-age men in these Oblasts skedaddled a long time ago!
@@randallreed9048 The age of newcomers in russia is probably the result of a different situation - firstly, russians avoid recruiting in large cities, secondly, it is easier for such people to raise money to buy themselves from the army. Therefore, recruiting in russia has a disproportionate place in small towns and villages, where it sometimes affects literally all living men
@@robertwisniewski2029 These POWs are not from Russia. They are Ukrainian. They joined the Russian/separatist forces to earn a living. They lack any kind of understanding or even interest for politics, for who is who, etc. All they care about is how to fill their and their families stomachs. They will probably be viewed as traitors and collaboraters, but essentially they are victims like everybody else in this mess. It is very, very depressing to see these ruined humans, who know nothing but to do as they are told and try to get by somehow.
They would not be treated this well in Russia as a prisoner.
Ukrainians should not be forced to choose between Russian subjugation and poverty; this is our problem to solve.
Very well put together. Thank you and fight on Ukraine!
In war time situation I'm sure as boring as the work might seem at least these guys will soon be reunited with their friends and family ♥️
I think soon is a relative term, it might be years for them still. But it beats being dead and never getting back home.
I doubt they'll go home. If they go home, chances are they'll be jailed or worse for being captured in the first place.
@@SirDaffyD Especially if Russian military catches the wind of this video and finds out those are the ones that came there "out of their own free will". Well, but that's Russia's responsibility. And today's Russian laws don't really make a difference anyway.

Should name the camp "Katyn" just as a reminder. Do these Russians know what Soviet Russians did to former POWs after WWII?
If they did they would ask for asylum in Ukraine.
I did talk to allot of Russian people they don't know what they did in Katyn or denying everything.
22 thousands of Polish officers and intelligence professionals were murdered by single bullet to back of the head in Katyn , Russia

It appears that most of them are in their late thirties to their sixties.
Historically, most wars are fought by 18 to 25 year olds.
How is it that these old men are fighting this war?
people in cold area and not so much food tend to look very old.
I hope there is a POW camp which recycles bricks (chip off old mortar, sort for size and fitness, palletize for shipping).
Much rebuilding is in the future.

Extremely informative, and heart wrenching ! Aarre Peltomaa p.s. why can't we all be friends ??
Glad to see all of those russian POWs put to good use, while still following the geneva convention. Carry on, and слава украні
Very informative thank you. Would be nice to see Ukraine POWs in Russia and how they are treated "under the Geneva Convention"
According to the Geneva Convention you are not allowed to publish humiliating videos of prisoners like that. This video you are watching is a violation of the Geneva Convention for example
@@Tomas-qw5wq This video shows Russian POWs are treated well and are healthy. Russians do not show their own videos of how they treat Ukrainian POWs because those POWs are starved, beaten and tortured in Russian prisons, the video of the aftermath of Olenivka prison massacre showing not just burnt to death but emaciated bodies of Ukrainian POWs shows this. Which is the greater violation of the Geneva Convention?
@Vault_5 Well yes it is. These men are used in a video as propaganda tool. No one knows what happened to them before or after and I don’t think the UA-cam Channel posting this video have their agreement. I’m sorry you have been brought by a bunch of clowns to become such a hooligan but it’s not propaganda to remind people of the law.
@@Tomas-qw5wq ehhh of the coventions broken i rather have these vidoes taken its proof of life and besides them looking sad they look pretty good there actually pretty lucky they want them to surrender so there going to treat the prisoners right otherwise they could have been tortured the ukrianian people hate them and russia continues to fire on civilian centers its barbaric
cooler head provailed if it didnt help to win the war they would be tortured lined up and shot and other retaliations for ehat the russians have been doing
i mean they cant be treating them too badly if they can be trusted with axes and hammers
The Russian Federation does not recognize the Geneva Conventions.
Thank you so much for the English subtitles.
To respect the soldiers of Ukraine, and care them , please . Because we are same human beings.
Super Video ! Like from Jerusalem !
If you aren't palastinian you are a land thief.
Mereka masih muda dan punya masa depan yang baik,,, semoga orang tua mereka merasa terhibur lihat mereka masih baik baik dan sehat
apakah Anda benar-benar berpikir orang tua mereka akan melihat ini?
Good solid insight of the war-efforts behind the frontlines.
Treated a lot better than if Ukrainians in Russia POW camp. This is the way POW's should always be treated. Thank you for showing us how you treat people with kindness and dignity.
Ucrania es un país q entiende q la guerra no es obstáculo para tratar con respeto y con dignidad a los prisioneros. Pienso q cuando regresen a casa se llevarán otra forma de pensar del ucraniano en general, y como se equivocaron en guerrear contra un país hermano.
Pais hermano no, no son rusos, son ucranianos prorrusos de las regiones rebeldes pagadas y militarizadas por rusia.
Ese, el mensaje de Ucrania, puede redireccionar el rumbo de Russia y otros países bajo la misma opresión. Ese puede ser el mensaje del siglo.
@@adrianperalta2425 Yes i agree. I also think actions of the treatment as pows are more important than words.
Although it must be very difficult for the Ukrainians to hold their contempt they would feel against the Russian pows.
@@baltarbb4969 Ucrania y Rusia Son países muy parecidos en cultura y costumbres. Son como Brasil y sus vecinos w hablan español. Sin idiomas muy parecidos. Los pro Rusos son rusos q llegaron impuestos desde Moscú en el imperio ruso y luego en la unión soviética. Esto paso en todas las ex Repúblicas sovieticas dónde tienen población rusa. Lo hicieron cuando se sublevasen como ahora Ucrania q no quiere ser el patio trasero ruso y ser parte de la unión europea, salen los rusos a invadir porq creeme q tienen el derecho de impedir la autodeterminación de Ucrania. Y lo peor q el carnicero asesino de Putin se auto proclamaba cómo el defensor de la libre determinación de los pueblos y ahora como Ucrania le dijo a la ordenanza rusa ordenó a los rusos y pro rusos q son Ucranianos q son pocos q la unión soviética.
@@alcidesrojassolis1937 That's russian propaganda right there. Ukraine and russia are ABSOLUTELY different countries. We have nothing in common, and russians have been trying to destroy us for hundreds of years now. We didn't join soviet union willingly, they occupied us, just like they are occupying a bunch of our land right now. Ukraine is a free, democratic, European country. russia is a dictatorship. We have never been "brother nations" and will never be.
I've been there 4 times.... twice before the trouble began and twice since. I like Ukraine., I really do.
Thanks for the English captions guys.
👍👍💕🇺🇦🇦🇺
Thank you for the CC. I'm wondering about the prisoner exchanges. Do they randomly select them? Are they volunteers? Asking because I'm sure some of them don't want to be exchanged for fear of returning to do battle again?
Good question. The returned leaders of the Azov Battalion were specifically required to physically leave Ukraine and self-exile as a condition of the swap (to Bulgaria or Slovenia?). It is in Ukraine's best interest (for future exchanges) to see to it that they uphold to the letter the conditions of their release. I have read nothing to this effect, but historically, exchanged PWs have been required to demobilize and, essentially, stay home. The concept has had various names, like "parole".
After watching a lot of interviews with POW, I can say for sure there is a bunch that do not want to be exchanged and don't want to return to russia. There are cases of POW being returned to the front line after exchange. There are some POWs who have disappeared after the exchange... Weird stuff going on in russia. Whose relatives make the most fuss in russia are the ones who get exchanged first.
I believe that Ukraine has recently adopted a policy that any pow who doesn't want to be returned to Russia doesn't have to go back.
Putin built his army on the backs of the poor and desperate. That much is clear.
I am glad these men work creating usefull materials, well fed with a semi decent bed until they get to go home. Excellent efforts from Ukraine, to help these people out of the war. It's something they will remember when they go home. I hope the gratitude is great enough that they will never fight a war again and settle for a peaceful life. It's not a dishonor to surrender, it keeps you alive and as it is with life we only got one.
Ukraine people showed their kindness to Russian pow.
It's called the Geneva Convention.
@@jamessephar9458 Bitch, it's called ... is Russia doing the same to it prisoners of war
Those are not Russians, those are Ukranians from occupied teritories who were mobilized by the russians
@@user-ge4uk9ui8y no it's ur moom
I hope everyone can make it back home to their families safe no matter what side they fought on. War is not to be glorified and at the end of the day these POW's are regular people who are just like any of us. Let's hope that eventually true peace can bring us all together so the world can heal
Glory to Ukraine for treating this prisoners humanely.
Let's bring peace and harmony to this part of the world. All good health and happiness to the people who have suffered a lot. All the seperated and missing people should get united with their loved ones.
Lets start with stripping Putin of every dollar he has stolen from the Russian people. Then all the money the oligarchs have stolen, repatriate the victims who were forced to flee and release All Political and Falsely Accused from Prison!
When the Russians leave then peace can start but until that day keep fertilizing Ukrainian soil with Russian soldiers
Only one way that's going to happen, and that's for Putin's aggression to be stopped, or he withdraws and admits he was wrong.
Otherwise, you're living in an imaginary utopian cloud cuckoo land.
It time to end all Wars and not start any new ones !....let's negotiate/ debate / then compromise on issues that we disagree upon !!....as mature adults , not ill tempered children !
@@kuangtien3980 that is such a stupid childish comment and a arrogant aswell.
Wow you really made yourself look bad.
this place is going to be fully booked
There's always hope☄️
Very interesting video. Thank you.
Humanity is the KEY. ❤️💯
How well they can speak Ukrainian, even after 8 years of so called LDPR
these living quarters / showers etc are 10x better than what I went through in Wandsworth - London
Very interesting material. First time seeing POW camp in Ukraine.
I am very surprised they are being treated so well compared to how the Russians treat there war prisoner's , Ukraine has come a long way in there Armed forces , they have adapted very well to Western training and mercy ! It is so important to do this , you do not want to do anything that will bring Ukraine any shame...Always remember once a man surrender's you are responsible to protect that man if you like it or not.
Where did you get your rosy coloured glasses from.
Arrow -- Very well said! Treat POWs as you would expect to be treated if you were in their shoes!
@@fluffymadsquirrel5946 The Military ! It's in the dictionary under " Code of Conduct " Fluffy..
@@fluffymadsquirrel5946 Look at the recent videos from the Mariupol/Azov exchanges. See how thin Ukrainians are, and how just normal looking Russians are. Compare photos or videos of Ukrainians from the Azovstal videos or photos to the ones after the exchange. You can see that Ukrainians were not given that much food (though it's still better than nothing: they did survive, after all). The pregnant girl was cared for in a civil hospital, thank goodness. Russians on the other hand didn't look unhealthy thin at all.
@@tymondabrowski12 I'm sorry to say that some of the Azov solders posted on the Azov site how they treat their POW's and I was extremely shocked to see them shoot them in cold blood through the knee's and the groin area and to be left to bleed out.
I suppose if you have Ukrainian leaders that stated that any prisoner would be castrated if caught , he did retract that statement later though but it did show the mind set of some of the people ion the Ukraine side. The DPR on the other hand said they would execute any mercenaries caught but it seems they did not, considering the prisoner exchange of last week.
The Ukrainians obviously value the phrase ‘Be the better man’ it shows. It looks like they eat well, they have a library, a church and they are not breaking rocks all day.
Meanwhile live on Ukrainian television a doctor spoke about ordering to have Russian POWs castrated and maimed. Others have openly talked about killing Russian POWs. That's the real side of Ukraine you probably don't know about.
Keep it human Ukraine and you've already won ❤
Well done Ukraine.They might be POW but must be treated as a fellow human being.God Bless Ukraine.
Brave and compassionate. What can I say?
Very interesting. It appears that they are treated with respect and their needs provided for.
It’s a soft life as a POW. Food 3 times daily, a bed, sufficient clothes, no bombs or munitions going off, no enemy shooting from in front or behind, reading material, exercise. Everything humans need to live comfortably.
Well, your still a prisoner, you see it’s run like a military camp.
It’s no vacation.
But these guys are definitely being treated better and look pretty good. They just seem tired/war wary. Understandable in this situation.
I can see the work as a way to keep one’s mind occupied, maybe learn a new manual skill or two, and they are providing medical care.
Seeing they are trying to save the one POW’s leg instead of just amputating it.
That is pulitzer winning prize level. Great work. I understand their point of view a lot better.
Interesting video thanks for sharing. Ukraine is treating its prisoners in a very descent way. We can’t say the same about Russia unfortunately where prisoners are starved and tortured. I bet theses guys got lucky to be there…
Glory to Ukraine!
These Ukrainian POW camps for the Pro-Russian Separatist Soldiers are managed very well by very professional Ukrainian Guards!
These guys have better working hours than most people I know, myself included!
For me it's 8.00 to 18.00 with 1 hoir lunch break, I know folks in construction doing 7.00 to 19.00.
You should at least get 2
30 minute breaks.
If not then you should look up your local laws about labor
This is heart warming ❤to watch
and much civilized act by Ukrainians.
