I hope they remain untouched

Wow, man, that is really sad.

I would think the Russians would retaliate against his family at home for doing this.

Looks like born 1965....

@Brian Waas Sure, I get that.. though some conflicts are worse than others in this regard. But for the Ukraine war.. how long was this guy even serving in battle? Seems like a very large fraction of Russian soldiers have only been deployed to combat units for a few months at most..

@@drlegendre Maybe static trench warfare with artillery ringing your ears every few hours adds extra stress.

​@@vegas1a Hey! Born before 1965 here. I look as bad as that guy, though probably younger. He at least he will live to return to his life, such as it may be.

Trust me, if youve been out in the field for any length of time in those conditions youd look just like that. I have pictures of me with platoons, squads, and teams and a lot of the guys in those pictures, including me, are almost unrecognizable. Some of the pictures look like bunches of heavily armed very dirty pirates with modern weapons. I was on a two week long range patrol once in 45+ degrees celsius and we all lost about 10kgs. Some lost more. We had to hook our pants onto our webbing just to keep our pants up. And we didnt wash at all so we were filthy. When w got back in we looked liked we'd just escaped from a very bad prison camp.

What will happen to him if he gets exchanged and returns to Russia? Will he be punished for defection with a prison term or sent back to the trenches? I don’t think there is any escape for Russian men if summoned. Either go to war with a chance to die or 100% chance to go to jail for 10 years (afaik). Make your decision

Better to die than to kill inocent people godbless Ukraine the whole world is praying for the peace of your country and some other country also👏👏👏👏👏💛💛💛🙏🙏🙏

According to your comment...If he killed a single Ukrainian soldier it means he toked someone's life by force, if that's the case he toked some mother's son some wife's husband and some child's father, and he will be punished for that in hell, and if my comment is right then he doesn't even deserve to see his own child same as the one he killed won't be able ever to see his Mother, wife or child! If he didn't kill anyone then he did the right decision and god bless him, but if he did kill a single soldier then the decision that he made doesn't matter and someone's life has been taken and some family has been griefed and punishment will come.

@@oskarsoskars3365 bruh war has always been about killing one another

​@@inse001that's their problem. "I don't get involved with politics". See how easy it is. Now it's not my responsibility is it😉👍. Im not involved with ruski politics.

I think the whole point to this video is you get shot if you leave the trench. So I'm not quite sure how you would surrender. The only sensible option is for all conscripts to refuse to go. There is no case recorded of anyone being tried or going to jail for this. Only the threat of it. If press gangs force them to go to Ukraine, Then yes, do fade into the confusion as best you can & try to surrender.

I hope that Russian men conscripted to go to fight in Ukraine, will eventually develop the courage to refuse to go - but if they don't, their ONLY chance of survival, once they are in Ukraine, is to quietly surrender, when the opportunity arises. Glory to Ukraine!

@@hardtackbeans9790 I don't think they have the manpower to run their gulags if they sent conscientious objectors there. They already have a massive shortage of workers.

@@carolinematusevich889 I don't think they would even try.

​@@hardtackbeans9790do you really think Russia is going to let that information get about how many are in prison for not going. They want to make it look like these guys are patriots n wanna go fight. Slava Ukraine🇺🇸🇺🇦

Pathetic 😂

Κηφισιά

Slava Ukraine

yes, CCP is the same. They are showing their true colors more and more

​@@apsmith1635if ccp gets trade embargo the hole world will see renewed industries.😅

@@apsmith1635 , As is a former president and his parties Congress people who calls the other party Nazis .

I would probably rephrase that to peace and freedom for all. ❤

@@alexiskiri9693l will do thank you. I should change it all that is not invading

Lol they are racist as hell did you know that?

the irony

PPPPPPP!!@@whoswho826

Oh, that is a happy story! I mean it! You got out just in time! And there are others like you! Just not many. Have a good life!

Its BS..

@@halon7476 Why exactly ??

Looks 28 to me I was born in 93. You might have a condition or something if you look really young. Lack of testosterone and hgh

are you from Eastern Asia by chance? 😅 i look younger than him too

You should feel sorry for the ones in those trenches instead

​@@weirderdolphin9902I feel sorry for a planet called earth.

I hope his family is still alive. Russia has a habit of killing families of people that they disagree with.

Wars don’t happen because of delusional and psychopate leaders give orders, but because of normal people following those orders without asking any questions…. So no poor Russians, every single Russian is to blame for this misery!

Probably gulag

swiming with the fishes now @@Doomguy9OOO

If he hadn't, he would have signed his own death warrant. Sadly he had no choice. The thing is more people Ukraine catch and are treated in a humane way by the west the more will rebel and the more will try and work against Vladimir Putin

Propaganda yes, but people are forced to the war, no options

if you get a draft letter (you can get it electronically), then you can't leave russia so its pretty much an inevitable death They already lack morale so its certainly not the propaganda. Only the little russian kids believe the propaganda and think that ukraine is nazi.

@@oskarsoskars3365 Ummm. I don't think he toked anything . . . Okay, sorry. I know what you mean. There is a difference between murder & warfare in the Bible. I think it is better to speak legalistically rather than biblically. Someone at war killing someone, does not commit a crime. Even if they fight on the wrong side of the moral issue. Technically shorty putin hasn't declared a war, which make the russians technically (check me on this) marauders. Realistically we all know it is a war. Fighting a war isn't a crime. A nation can be guilty of creating a war under false pretext which russia has done. But the individual soldier isn't. There is the matter of war crimes which russia has committed by the truck load & many 'average' russian are guilty of. If you want to discuss the religious aspect, you need to be careful. Someone knowledgeable can rip into your argument pretty quick if you haven't thought it through.

@@hardtackbeans9790 yeah I understand what you are saying.

they will NOT. they dont have access to the free western part of the internet (and youtube). Anyhow, even with access they wouldnt believe. They are as brainwashed an North Korea. Also Belarus is brainwashed. They believe West is going to attack them and that we freeze and have food shortages here.

I don't. I feel for the Ukrainian people who suffer the invaders, women, children, normal peace loving people, faced with a prehistoric moron of a dictator. Russian people need to stand up and get rid of the krusty Kremlin and it's orcs, string up Putin like Mussolini. 🇺🇦🇬🇧🇺🇸

Don't “You” feel anything towards us ukrainians‽‽

@@markiyanhapyak349 pretty sure he does chilllllll I feel for both

@@jujuwisala6008 That's why we are arming the UA people. That's what judges and juries are for if they get captured alive. Lowering ourselves to russian standards is not how we should live our lives.

BS. Stop being a cowardly apologist fool.

As an outsider, that's always easy to say. If a Russian killed someone in my family, I'd probably spend the rest of my days killing everyone I could get my hands on. The same applies to prisoners of war. I don't give anyone a second chance to kill me after a prisoner swap. Sad but true. Once the limit is crossed, there is no more room for reason. War is not defined, which already shows that it is played without rules. You shouldn't let it get that far in the first place.

Hear, hear, hear !!!!

Yes and no. If you are saying that we use discernment, while still being empathetic, yes. If you mean that we start behaving all naive again with our cognitive dissonance helmets on, then no.

You have your life to lose you don’t know if you’ll be shot by your own people or u won’t know if you’ll find some good Ukraine people or Ukraine people filled with hate who will just kill him being scared clouds your judgement this dude was probably force to fight

Problem is they would probably shoot them on the way out and before they reach the Ukrainians

Luckily they send prisoners to the front, so maybe he can escape again? 😂

They drink alcohol at early , , see some street interview in Russia by Thier bloggers they are older at Thier ages

Its like all wars, you differentiate between your POW's based on many factors.

They get a choice between prisoner swaps or staying there doing low skilled jobs. At least they did before, i cant say if thats still being done.

@@Ukraineaissance2014 I think they still have that option along with the option to stay in Ukraine permanently if they think they will be imprisoned or worse on returning to Russia

He probably won't be exchanged till this is over. In any case, better off than what russia does. Animals...

Then prisoners get recruited and used as cannon fodder. Easy and fun.

It's not a live, real-time translation. An on-air reporter is reading a 3rd party translation that was prepared sometime earlier.

Good one!
