I see Novichok in this POW's future. He better ask for asylum in Ukraine.
Watch as he explains how Putin deceived the invading troops, and then watch as he calls on his comrades still in the field to lay down their arms.
Amazing stuff.
I have transcribed the video in case you don't want to watch it.
REPORTER: Some Russian captives told that they had to "rescue" Ukraine from something, that people would welcome you here. Were you also told this?
FIRST RUSSIAN POW: Sure, we were told that Ukraine allegedly, we were told this while being in Russia, via media, that Ukraine is dominated, literally I'm 100% wrong now, don't judge too harshly, Ukraine's territory is dominated by fascists' regime, nationalists, Nazis have seized power. Ordinary people need some help to get rid of this "yoke". This was the aim. Obviously, this information was unilateral information. Of course, we have internet. Sometimes we get something from some other sources. We could do a little analysis, but we had some doubts. We did not know the situation for sure. I personally, just when we entered this territory, when I watched the address of the professional boxers, your boxers. Back home I always loved watching them, Usyk and Lomachenko, they are my favorite. I mean that when I say it. These people are just ready to take arms. They told, "We didn't call you here." And I feel shame that we came to this country, to this territory, Ukraine's territory.
This woman is just standing and crying. I feel shame. I don't know why we were doing it. We knew very little. We were too little in our thoughts. We brought sorrow to this land. Don't know how much time is needed to purge everything. Is this redemption possible? We will go to jail, or whatever we deserve. We're ready for everything. But will it mean a redemption?
I feel sorry for the people left in Russia. They are not guilty. Their guilt is that they are misinformed. Some do not even have the internet. They have no chance to use something alternative. They are constantly brainwashed. They get this unilateral information that Ukraine is seized by fascists, etc.
Maybe I really deserved to learn this lesson, oh Lord, so I could finally see and try to tell it to those who are in Russia. Maybe they do not really realized what's going on here. I'm frank with you. For those who would watch this video, you might think about me whatever you want. That I was forced, intimidated, or the text was prepared in advance, whatever, I'll give it to you straight.
If someone came to my territory, I would do the same these people did. And I would be right! And they are right now. While I have to sit here and offer excuses! I do not understand what am I offering these excuses for. My grandpa fought! I am here like a death-squads member. This is my personal feeling regarding Russian armed forces.
If they can hear me. Guys, be brave! It is easier for me, I'm in this situation already. You are in a tense situation, going against your own commander. But this is genocide. The people are just killed. Ukrainian people and we, as Russians, get our for invading foreign country. This is right. From the one hand, this is not right. From the other, this is right. From Ukraine's side, this is right. From Russia's side, that's wrong.
Russia cannot win here anyway. All the variants are obvious. Even if we go till the very end. I hope this will never happen, though. We can invade the territory, but we cannot invade the people. We would not be able to keep this territory. And total emptiness would be around us. We would live like on the island. No one would talk to us. And this would be fair! Russian would be ashamed to confess that he's Russian! He would always get thump on the head for the deeds we do now.
I'm begging you, stop until it's too late. Give us a chance to come back home. Make a right choice. Go back home. People have started rallying there. They have begun to realize something. Not too much, but still. Our task is to avoid total destruction of these two nations.
This is terrible. I've never seen anything before. Never thought that at the end of my life I would face something like that! This opportunity, I do not need it. My mom does not need it! I can only imagine her emotional state.
I'd like to add something. I cannot find the words to say sorry to the Ukrainian people. Try to find enough strength to move past the memory. If not, we will understand. We will not succeed without your help here.
What do I mean? People in the Russian army and in the Federal National Guard Troops Service located here, many of them are just embarrassed. They do not want war! They do not want to kill you, Ukrainians. Trust me. It might sound weird, people with weapons who came to your land do not mean to kill you. But I 100% assure you, ask anyone. No one wants to kill.
I'm not talking about the captives. Just go to Russia and ask, "Do you need Ukrainians' blood?" I'm sure that only an idiot would say, "Yes."
Or not even Ukrainian - the blood of some other man! This is just a disease, this is called cannibalism.
So help us deal with this problem. We have a real problem. We won't be able to stop right now. The flywheel has already started. Therefore, with your help, to those who surrender as prisoners, pluck up your courage! Save their health and life, what is it for? Because if you make efforts to ensure the maximum number of them die, no one will come to our homeland and no one will tell about what happened here.
It's easier to kill than to give birth to someone. Even if a third of those who come back will be able to tell about it correctly. This will already be a big benefit, and thanks to you this will happen. And thanks to your country, you will become winners not only physically, but also spiritually. It is very important you just knock everyone to the ground. I just sincerely hope for your mercy towards those people who will come out to you with their hands up, or those wounded.
We should not sow death. It's better to sow life. And now you have a great opportunity to do so.
That's all.
SECOND RUSSIAN POW: I wanted to add that when we were taken prisoner, we were taken to the hospital and given medical treatment. All of us were wounded, and we were treated.
Just listen to this situation. They say that allegedly high-precision weapons destroy only military units somewhere. This is all false. I heard air raid sirens all night. I went to bed and prayed that the shell just didn't target me.
People here are just like us.
Watch as he explains how Putin deceived the invading troops, and then watch as he calls on his comrades still in the field to lay down their arms.
