Anton Meshcheryakov is a citizen of Russia. He lived in the city of Kirov. In Russia, he was imprisoned for having marijuana. During his imprisonment, he had a child born, and the prisoner had never seen her. The ministry of defence of Russia recruited him to the 5th motorised infantry division of the Russian army, and he was captured by the Ukrainian Defense Forces near Mariinka. The POW shares his experiences, how Russian regular forces assign machine-gunners to shoot retreating prisoners if they flee the battlefield. He could have been killed by such 'death squads' so he surrendered to the Armed Forces of Ukraine when he had the opportunity. Hear his speech on UATV.
