Future of surrendered soldier: the end of the story

[@ckcnj9175]

Thank you for the update. I’d love to hear how Maxim progresses in his new homeland. Ukrainians are real heroes, both on, and off the battlefield! Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

I hope Maxim does well. Thank you for sharing his story.

[@robst247]

It was very courageous of Maxim to choose not to fight against the Armed Forces of Ukraine. I hope he will adapt well to his new life and have a bright future in Ukraine.

Hundred thousand dead Ukrainian soldiers wish they were alive. Hundred thousand injured Ukrainian soldiers might wish they were dead . Far less casualties on the Russian side. Go to peace talks Now !!!!!

Hello Olga. Thank you for your video and the story of Maxim´s new life in Ukraine. A brave young man, - one of the few ones with working brains. So many have been forced to be cannon fodder and all this could have been prevented, had they surrendered, too. Starting a new life is not always easy, but in his case, he´ll get lots of help. Good luck and all the best. Slava Ukraine.

Thank you Olga. I know that a lot of these stories coming from captured Russians can be repetitive and boring (since many as so similar), not to mention how long many of these interviews are! So it’s nice that you are happening to find these more relevant bits, and are presenting them to the world in an easy to listen way... 😊 It definitely helps get a little more info out to people who wouldn’t otherwise know or understand these things.

For Russian soldiers that turn themselves in, the Ukrainian Army marks them as captured in battle, so they have some cover when they get home. A former POW was "mobilized" and sent to Bakmuht and was killed.

[@hardtackbeans9790]

I saw Dima interview this guy. Which is probably the video you saw. I thought this might turn out this way for him. Thanks for the follow up. The money AFU gets for taking prisoners is to give them extra incentive. Even if the Ukrainian people aren't prone to kill or torture, they have been given a lot of reasons the last 8 months to do that. It just helps instill that this is the proper way to handle POW's. War atrocities happen in all wars sadly.

What a beautiful story, both how he refused to fight and voluntarily surrendered, as well as how the Ukrainians are treating him.

The security guard at the University I attended around 1980, who is named John. He was a retired butcher at the local supermarket. As a young man, he volunteered for the army, and as soon as the army found out that he spoke French and German, they gave him an officers commission and he was one of the first soldiers dropped into the Normandy Invasion by parachute. He did have one observation about the war that the Germans and British never took prisoners. Only the Americans did.

I watch a lot of "Dodo" videos (rescued animal Channel), and this story reminds me of what abandoned animals personalities appear to be immediately after rescue. Then, after the animal stops shaking and trembling, it gets to sleep better and eat food normally after a week or so. Then after a month or two, the animal has a glossy coat, clear eyes and receives Veterinary care, it walks normally and interacts with other dogs or cats in a playful way. Ukrainian Government and people seem like the World's Resuers, not only saving Europe from the worst aspects of Putins Paranoia, but many of his misguided soldiers too. Time for Europe to get more serious and *provide Ukrainians with proper weapons* to repel the invaders _and thus save Europe from further Russian expansion._

This is so much better than them torturing each other to death like so often happens with POWs. Yes, in WWII * millions * of captured soldiers from each side of the conflict between Russia & Germany were indefensibly murdered in helpless captivity rather than killed as men fighting in combat. War crimes on a massive scale. We don’t talk about this enough because people just assume soldiers (or regular men) are supposed to die, while we have the vague idea that other innocent people (not conscripted men) being systematically killed are more of an injustice.

well I am not a fan to give Ukrainian citizenship for everyone who just "not bad"... I don't like the fact that we are giving citizenship to Russian anti-Putin activists, while we have so many people who are living in Ukraine most of their life and do a way more things for Ukraine, and still not able to get citizenship. Anti-Putin doesn't mean pro-Ukrainian. So many Russians understood that Putin will fall and choose the strategy to talk how they support Ukraine to be a part of "good boys". Many of them 5 years back was stating same bad things about Ukrainians as all other Russians.

If you could see the Russian army and the way they are organized from the perspective of a NATO army, you'd understand why they are so poor and are getting their teeth kicked in by a country who hasn't even had a decade of NATOizing their structure.
