'I will return to the Russian army when I return home' - exclusive interview with Russian POWs

It has been an entire year of the Russian full-scale war and since the late days of February, both Russians and Ukrainians became POWs. This footage is exclusive: our correspondent was in the specialised camp for Russian prisoners of war. They have different professions, they are of different ages and they have different dreams of what to do when they return to Russia: someone wants to return to their pre-war work but someone says that will return to the army of the aggressor state.

Ironically, the Wagner penal slaves taken as POWs get much better treated by the people they invaded than by their own countrymen.

[@thessalonians6004]

🎯

[@timothylee2772]

Propaganda bs. Actually it's the other way around. Russian treat their prisoners much better. War crimes are far more widespread from Ukrainians.

[@markfryer9880]

Very ironic!

[@bigmanrobert3610]

lmao

[@dylanvogler2165]

And the ironic part is that those Wagner prisoners aren't even protected by the Geneva conventions as they are mercenaries. In other words they threat the Wagnerites better than they need to do.

[@thessalonians6004]

"Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the heroes!" 🙏💙🔱⚔🔱💛🙏

[@nicktechnubyte1184]

Looking forward to seeing Ukraine 🇺🇦 becoming a fully united country again free from all russian interference and russia being completely dissolved and turned into separate smaller countries with no military power whatsoever! SLAVA UKRAINE 🇺🇦!!!!

[@Abdalmaus]

Reading this comment made me wonder... Ever thought about who will flex the power instead of Russia? I don't understand much of international politics and wonder if is there a country that doesn't take certain measures because of Russia...

[@JamesLaserpimpWalsh]

I bet they are glad Ukrainian medics got to them. Their own side seem to just leave a lot of wounded to just die. Grim beyond words eh? Prost for the video. Glory to the Heroes.

[@markfryer9880]

Or worse. The Russian Orc officers were either ordering the wounded to be shot or doing it themselves. Unbelievable!

[@thefastandthedead1769]

Slava Ukraini! It says a great deal about a nation who still manage to treat their invaders in such a humane way. If only the RuZZians would extend the same courtesy to the Ukrainian POWs!

[@1405annie]

God Bless ukraine praying for you all love from Holland ♥️🙏🙏🇺🇦💓

[@thessalonians6004]

💙🙏💛

[@matt.willoughby]

How can anybody support Russia after seeing how the Russian Federation treats POW's compaired to the care Ukraine gives to enemy prisoners?

[@46mrph]

Because Russian not see this, taught from birth all hate them. You can keep a poodle in a cage long enough and when you open the door it will think it's a pit bull.

[@fanfeck2844]

Only fascists support Russia

[@mike4480]

The Ukrainian people/soldiers are human, the Russians are barbaric..you can’t see any well kept 🇺🇦 soldiers in Russian captivity..because there isn’t any..unless they get actors/ propaganda videos made…..Glory to the Heroes..💙💛💙

[@markfryer9880]

Unfortunately, logic and clear thinking are not strengths of the majority of people who support the Russian Orcs.

[@telesniper2]

yeah right, ukrops use POW to test new pfizer vaxine and other poisons off camera

[@Liza03V]

5 star hotels for them and Ukrainians are treating them better than their own. It melts my heart when I hear Ukrainian Pows how they are treated and all of them return back 30kg less. I hope they open their eyes and fight for their own freedom. At the moment they go back they will be sent back to the frontlines.

[@veritasvincit2374]

Keep up your courage, relentlessness and cautiousness Ukraine. Stay strong and resilient - you will prevail!!! 🇺🇦💙💛🇺🇦

[@willowysub]

Glory to God first then Glory to Ukraine

[@thessalonians6004]

💙🙏💛

[@Fre3domAction]

Ukrainians are such caring and honorable people! respecting rules of war while you know your enemy is not doing the same is remarkable✌✌💫💫💞💞💞

[@telesniper2]

yeah right, they probably inject experimental stuff into them when the cameras are off. Just like SS concentration camp. Ukrop guards = josef mengele

[@web-navigator]

Some ppl are just stupid. They can't help it, we can't help it. So they need to learn it the hard way!!! Keep going!

[@thessalonians6004]

⚖

[@kkivela]

Based on this, Ukraine treats prisoners of war in accordance with international agreements. Russia has a different attitude, prisoners are killed and humiliated and starved. Russians could mostly be described as orcs.

[@disposabull]

Humiliation seems a bit mild for stabbed, tortured, mutilated, beaten, rapped and murdered.

[@markfryer9880]

Describing them as Orcs is being generous.

[@thomasbice6466]

This is how Russian POW'S are treated versus how Ukrainian POW'S are treated. You decide.

[@telesniper2]

they beat them senseless as soon as the camera is turned off. use your brain for christ's sake

[@AstroGremlinAmerican]

Let's now see Russia post a comparable video of how Ukrainian POWs are treated. "I wake up hungry. I am given less nutrition than needed to maintain. I go to bed hungry. The arts and crafts program is sub-standard, too."

[@anya8861]

If they can't feed their soldiers in the trenches, they will let Ukrainians starve , .SLAVA UKRAINE 🇺🇦

[@barbmoody4892]

Saw a video of Russian POWs being exchanged. They did not look happy to be going back to Russia. Slava Ukraini💛💙💛💙

[@cheebacheeobusiness3893]

What a depressing "future" if one returns back to war. 💙💛 Slava Ukraini! 💙💛

[@garyfilmer382]

I’m hoping that at least some of the POW’s from the armed forces of Ukraine🇺🇦get similar humane treatment! Russia is a War Criminal State! One such POW, a brave unarmed soldier of the armed forces of Ukraine🇺🇦was executed by the Russian Army! That’s a barbaric war crime! I bet there other examples of that kind of brutal war crime too! Victory to Ukraine!🇺🇦Slava Ukrajina!🇺🇦

[@robitesfa4855]

Russia 🇷🇺 is a criminal state kkkkk u are funny bro Russia 🇷🇺 is love 😍

[@lillyburch1938]

Hmmmm....while they shot the poor Ukrainian soldier living in a trench, unharmed, smoking a cigarette in the cold defending his homeland. It is very unfair in my view. I don’t know anyone from Ukraine, but you cannot convinced me that they’re not my brothers and sisters. Ukrainians are going through unbelievable suffering with dignity and we in the free world must continue to support them. To all Ukrainians, I salute you, especially those who are in the fight. ❤ 🇺🇸.

[@derduebel]

100% Greetings from Germany

[@dylanvogler2165]

I wish that was the only thing that happend. The worst thing is the Russians cheering on social media about the atrocities. It won't be forgotten or forgiven.

[@Davest420]

Amen bro

[@user-fs2dk7kn8x]

Thanks Praise Yahweh Father God bless and protect and defend and grace and mercy and peace and love and victory for Ukraine! in Jesus name Amen from ROC

he is just saying it that so he wont be returned to Russia :D

I'd be promising to go back and raise all the nukes, lead an army of the dead and send plagues of locusts..... worth a punt.

They also would need pilots which can fly them. Sowjet planes are completely different to western ones.

dont use any resources on those moskaliscum

[@nooboftheyear7170]

Geneva convention says they have to be treated properly. Jesus says, do unto others as you would have done to yourself. Don't return evil. Doing good is like heaping hot coals on their heads.

[@ProphetTomas]

Far as i am concerned. He can stay as a prisoner of war until there is no war. He has vowed to take up arms against Ukraine.

[@raymondcarty8755]

If he come s back give him Love , and set him free .

[@iiiDartsiii]

Don't worry they will pick you first to rejoin because of your experience.

[@H.J.U.49]

Good and informative video. Also good to see the Ukrainians respect the Geneva Act. In any case, the POWs are treated better than the Russians treat their POWs, but what else can you expect when you look at how primitively they treat their own soldiers?

[@Neo-py8fn]

And what you say about the Executions of Russian Soldiers? Or are you just dont aware of that? And what about the many Ukrainian Soldiers stating that they have been treated really well in captivity?

[@apoyosiempreaucrania-ee2qq]

[@srh2301]

@UATV English: Are there versions of your video in Ukrainian / Russian original language, optionally with english subtitles? It would be great if you could place a link to the "original" version (without audio overdubbing) in the video's description. Some of us have Russian relatives or "friends" whom we'd like to show such videos. Thank you!

[@heldersilva6672]

Hello, srh! There's a Ukranian reporter, I think he is called Volodymyr Zolkin, who has shared lots of content specialy on the russian POW's subject, here on KZbin. He has interviews with the POW's, and I even remember he once made a video "guide tour" style of one of these detention facilities. In that video, he filmed the conditions of the facility, the cantine, the food storage, the beds, the showers, the work instalations for the POW's, the yard... And all of it during a normal day of the POW's. Most of his content is in russian language. Again, I think his name is VOLODYMYR ZOLKIN, but i'm not sure. Sorry for that! 😐

[@ShR1000]

Did u expect they would go farming? Of course they'll be back

[@bengtakterhag8618]

It's tragic. 😥

[@sumiland6445]

In the beginning of the war, Ukrainian civilians donated clothing and other items for the Russian prisoners.

[@rockchildofthe60s69]

I'm surprised this guy lasted a year.

[@UkrainianPaulie]

There is a way to stop that. Don't take prisoners. 😳

[@christinehuismans4443]

very much o.k. here ❤

[@gilbertroberttuahuru4715]

This Russian invader is not going anywhere you a prisoner. Glory to Ukraine.

[@salomaanakinchatmoe8984]

[@mikycarney5779]

[@rosebrown6128]

Please do not dub. There is no proof that this is what they are saying. It should be in Russian with English subtitles so Russians can watch it too.

[@SeanMccarthy-lz8kq]

I think after Putin is toppled Zelensky should run both countries alongside Navalny

[@georgekashuba1656]

R.I.P Mr Kadirov now Pootin Poisoning is working well.

[@susansmith9263]

Ukraine appears to treat the prisoners with humanity, when they have every reason not to; though an investigation by the United Nations Human Rights office reveals abuses by both warring sides. I understand the utter frustration Ukraine has, but the latest execution of an unarmed Ukrainian prisoner of war, Tymofiy Shadura ⚘ by the Russians, for uttering "Glory to Ukraine" is shameful. A deliberate policy of terror. Slàva Ukraini ! Heròyam Slàva ! 🇺🇲 🇺🇦 🇺🇦

[@joeshmoe9978]

🇺🇦💪🏆

[@telesniper2]

use the POW to test new medicines and experimental stuff. It's a much better use of their skills than doing senseless arts and crafts.

[@Clash_CT_Rocker69]

Show him there is a great chances to him that never see the Russia. Or tell him Russian Army do not draft amputeers.

[@rowredround7206]

Bit of a misleading title…. Only one will return to the army, and he appears to have little choice.

[@user-dt6yh7ls1c]

could add an english subtitle on a video XD

[@jackjones9460]

Is very sad to imagine going back into the Russian army with a slaughter like it is.

Kinda why i feel like they shouldnt be trading them back...sure getting ur peopke back but russia is just gonna put a rifle in his hands and put him back at the front so i would have to find another way

[@factchecker6674]

With a blurred face, and only a dubbed voice, this is meaningless.

[@MrBano66]

So... Maybe you should not go back. In fact, maybe you should get better on your own...

[@s.m.1354]

TRIBUNAL INTELLIGENCE: We need also a tribunal for psychological damage, even when I run the risk of being persecuted as well. However people like me started because of the psychological damage the invasion brought along. The economic damage caused by Russia this way, is felt to some individuals, who will now have to rehabilitate in their nations. We need to train new ‘war psychologists’ for these people, because civilian psychologists are not trained for military experiences in most nations. It is extremely normal and desirable to create a deterrent for other nations, to have Russia pay reparations to other nations as well, under psychological and economical collateral damage.

[@mrrightbernandas8364]

I doubt any of this guys are ok. Russian soldiers now is like a auto machine that is ready to be glitch out. Its fatal if one dont have purpose in your fight. pointless to die without reason. Waste. Just stay home and drink a lot of vodka and be happy
