FRANCE 24's Gwendoline Debono met a Ukrainian captain whose unit served on the frontline in an area recently recaptured near the town of Lyman. While he is pleased with their success on the battlefield, his goal now is to free his own soldiers who have been held as prisoners of war by the Russian forces.

These are brave men and should be treated with honour and all should be done that is humanly possible to return them to their families. One side in this conflict, counts every single soldier and values them immensely. The other side, doesn't even tally its dead, its ramping up the numbers to send more and more, with even less training and experience into the center of the most furious fighting... and when those men disappear, they will not even be counted or their loved ones paid for their sacrifice. It's obvious to all which is the honourable side in this war, and which side cares little for increasing the butchers bill, not caring about civilians, not caring about the future of their own men. All because the ego of one man can't handle that he was wrong, not once, not twice, but multiple times, and rather then learning from the mistake and hearing the warnings of what its going to cost, this man doubles down like a gambler.... the only problem is that he is gambling with the lives of his own people.... What is worse, is that he is even willing to threaten with the nuclear option which means he has no regard for anyone on this planet, his ego is more precious the planet earth. This is a man that needs to be stopped and checked from power. AT ALL COSTS. Removing Putin will not only benefit the world, but it will also benefit Russia.. the outlook for that country will change over night when he is no more. Just sad that one man can be so reckless with the lives of others!
