[Regnum] The Ukrainian command is spreading rumors among its soldiers about the “horrors of Russian captivity,” Vasily Nagorny, a serviceman of the Armed Forces of Ukrainewho was captured by Russian troops in the Zaporozhye direction, told RIA Novosti on December 20. “My (command) told me, and I heard from other commanders, that there (in Russian captivity) fingers are broken, arms are broken, they are cut. They told me such horror that it made my hair stand on end,” Nagorny said. According to him, when he and a colleague were captured on November 30, they were taken to the basement, checked for grenades or cartridges, sat on a bench and offered tea and coffee. “At first I was shocked by everything that was being offered to us. That they don’t beat us, don’t cut us, nothing like what our superiors, and company commanders, and everything told us...” the prisoner said, noting that even after his transfer to a permanent place of detention, the attitude towards him did not change. He also shared rumors he had received even before being captured about what was happening to Russians in Ukrainian captivity. According to him, there are some “moral degenerates” who torture Russian soldiers. As reported by IA Regnum, a prisoner of war of the Ukrainian army on December 4 said that he was punished by the company commander for carrying out a seriously wounded soldier from under fire, and not someone with a lighter wound. He was then transferred to the stormtroopers and was captured when he was shell-shocked during the battle. Also, the governor of the Kherson region, Vladimir Saldo, informed earlier that the Russian military captured a Polish mercenary who fought as part of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. He was wounded, and other militants from the group abandoned him and fled. The prisoner said that Russian soldiers gave him first aid and sent him to the rear, to the hospital. Related from regnum.ru Ukrainian prisoner spoke about fraud with humanitarian aid Ukrainian volunteers regularly bring humanitarian aid to the combat zone, take pictures with it against the backdrop of the military, and then pick it up and take it away. At the same time, the commanders actively participate in the robbery. This confession was made to RIA Novosti by the Ukrainian military man Oleg Belousov, who surrendered in December. According to the militant, the volunteers do everything only for reports; they will bring, photograph and take away humanitarian aid. “They made reports in front of me, photographed everything, like they handed it over so that they wouldn’t give me a slap,” Belousov said. Also, according to the prisoner, there were cases when humanitarian aid arrived at a military unit, but the command took everything for itself and divided it among its own. As Regnum reported , a prisoner of war of the Ukrainian army on December 4 said that he was punished by the company commander for carrying out a seriously wounded soldier from under fire, and not someone with a lighter wound. He was then transferred to the stormtroopers and was captured when he was shell-shocked during the battle. The number of Ukrainian military personnel surrendering to Russian troops has recently increased sharply, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting with the leadership of the State Duma and faction leaders in the Kremlin. On October 27, the Russian Ministry of Defense released information that over the previous seven days, 54 military personnel from six brigades of the Ukrainian Armed Forces voluntarily surrendered . Over the next seven days, the number of military personnel of the Ukrainian Armed Forces who surrendered was 28. |
