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.

Look, I wish all the best for Ukraine and hope they win soon, but videos like this should be taken with a grain of salt. There is Propaganda on both sides.

Edit: Note to self: Don’t ever comment on political posts again.

Pretty sure the user giving you grief is AI, you didn’t say anything wrong.

War is never 100% clean from any side.

Are you implying the video is fake, like they aren’t Russian captives? Or are you implying that the Russian captives are lying?

The fact that Russian captives are saying anything beyond name, rank, and serial number while obviously being recorded is already a huge L for russian military training and discipline.

So what were you trying to say when you said “… videos like this should be taken with a grain of salt. There is propaganda on both sides.”?

I don’t want to put words in your mouth, but you’re very obviously trying to imply something there, so just say it.

For the record I made it very clear that I was asking you what you were implying, I doubt any rational person would read anything in my previous comment as putting words in your mouth.

@nebulaone @borari No one put words in your mouth. Just asked simple questions.

I wonder if this is the reason Russia is suddenly so interested in getting their PoW’s back that were captured in Kursk? Were those the fortunate sons of the politically well-connected? Could there be a serious psychological threat if the political elite learn just how much better life could be if they got rid of Putin?

They were likely conscripts (not legally deployable in Ukraine, but are in Russia), so entirely possibly they were sons of middle class or politically connected Russians from St Petersburg or Moscow.

Ugh. Just a bunch of hungry boys who need help and guidance from a regime not trying to fuck them over

Hopefully they get the chance to fight for the right side this time, or help in whatever way they can

Great incentive for them to surrender.

I hope this continues. It’s always better to offer the opposition a peaceful way out. Less casualties for both sides that way and the potential to end fights early saving time and energy better spent elsewhere.
