[Regnum] Ukrainian prisoners of war said that Russian artillery works so intensively that they have to lie on the ground for days, they were handed over to the Russian Ministry of Defense on August 21.

“We were sitting in dugouts, yours began to advance, we shot into the air. Yours said, come out, we surrendered,” said the prisoner.

He also urged Ukrainian fighters to surrender or turn around and go home. The fighter of the Armed Forces of Ukraine himself said that he did not regret that he had surrendered. He saw how the military is treated there and how it is here.

Another prisoner of war spoke about the exercises in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He said that the instructors were not fighting. In terms of armament, there were no cartridges at the exercises; he also did not see Western weapons.

Both captured servicemen noted heavy losses among their colleagues and admitted that they were lucky to be in Russian captivity.

As IA Regnum reported on August 21 , Stanislav Kraevsky, a Ukrainian prisoner of war, said that Russian doctors did everything to save his leg, in which he was wounded in the battles near Vugledar. In the fall of 2022, he received a summons, completed a three-week medical course and was sent to the front line. In the battle near Ugledar, a soldier received serious shrapnel wounds to his leg. The prisoner of war stressed that he was afraid of being captured by Russia, having heard enough of the horrors of Ukrainian propaganda. He noted that he did not expect Russian doctors to save his leg.
Heavy losses on both sides. Both countries were in negative population growth before this thing started — this is making it worse.

#2  Demoralizing prisoners of war is fairly standard for most militaries.

... And children, and elderly and woman, and non-combatants, schools, hospitals, nurseries, play grounds ...
