    I find it interesting at the end where the actual soldier says he knows he’s probably not going to be let go since his team fought to the death but the conscripts should go home eventually.

    I wonder how many captured conscripts it’ll take Russia to budge.

      They won’t budge. Russians will be trained to be even more unempathetic and to sacrifice their kids for the holy motherland and its glorious Führer.

    Several wounded soldiers interviewed by The Post explained how they suffered injuries in battle before capture, including one who said he injured himself with his own grenade in hopes he would die and not be taken prisoner. Ukrainian soldiers provided him first aid, he said, and then evacuated him to a clinic where he was X-rayed and had surgery to remove shrapnel from his wounds.

    Wow, Russia really must be feeding them with propaganda about what being a POW in Ukraine is like, glad he survived to see it wasn’t true.
