Those Russian soldiers are really poor guys - they were in trenches 5 days without food and water. They haven’t washed for month. They are in Ukrainian captivity right now where good conditions are waiting for them.
Ці російські солдати справді бідні хлопці – вони 5 днів сиділи в окопах без їжі та води. Місяць не милися. Зараз вони в українському полоні, де на них чекають хороші умови.
Эти бойцы ВС РФ действительно бедные ребята – они 5 дней сидели в окопах без еды и воды. Месяц не мылись. Сейчас они в украинском плену, где их ждут хорошие условия.
In a war you rarely have independent proof, that’s the point. So there is nothing wrong with being a bit cautious and sceptical when hearing news and I feel you are being a bit harsh.
And for sure propaganda exists on both sides, I guess no one is seriously disputing this. At the same time I have no doubts that being a PoW is 1000 times better than being in a Russian trench. But still I can acknowledge that reports like this are not some kind of independent journalism.
