Hello mom....
Captured AFU soldier talks to his mother:
"...I surrendered to the Russian soldiers, told them the truth that I
didn't kill anyone, that I was forced to go to war and they believed me
and treat me well. Everything is fine, they are kind, there was nothing
to eat and drink, so I surrendered to them. Our people sent us into
battle like cannon fodder, even though they knew we couldn't fight. And
it turned out that people are of the kindest soul here, truly our
people, they feed us. They said they would let us go home as soon as the
war is over..."
A second captured AFU soldier:
"Half of the mobilized went into denial... People are tired, people don't
want to fight, people want to live peacefully" - a Ukrainian soldier
who laid down his arms told how they were forced to fight by threats.
