Russian POW: I was shot by my commander

Matvei Ainyaurgin signed a contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense, which promised Matvei a job in construction on the rear lines of Russian defense. Thus, he joined the Veterans PMC of the 55th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade of the Russian Federation. He was captured by the Ukrainian Defense Forces in the east. In this voluntary confession, the prisoner told how Russian contractors shoot prisoners from private military companies and send them to the front line without body armor and helmets. Matvei calls such actions a betrayal. For more - watch a full interview with Russian POW.

This is hopefully how the Russian Federation will break up into pieces ...

Mostly because their artillery will be turned on them or blocking-unit Chechens will shoot them. This isn't like 'fragging' in Vietnam, where the initiator usually got away with it. The Russians, if you believe these types of interviews (I mostly do), have already shelled the 'volunteers' frequently and supposedly 'accidentally', with no regard whatever for their lives. The more effective path for them is to surrender to the Ukrainians if the opportunity arises, as it did for this man.

[@noregrets1855]

If Russians are treating their own like that, imagine how Ukrainian prisoners are being treated. Russians need to turn on their own commanders to end their war as soon as possible before it's too late for them.

Russians have always treated minorities in this fashion. My personal experience goes as far back as the Russian invasion of Afghanistan. Russian units often have a number of them to do the dirtiest jobs no one wants like slopping the latrines, disposing of waste or cleaning the boilers and firespaces. Russians referred to them as "criminals", so I thought they might have been part of a penal battalion, but over time I found that they had not been adjudicated of any wrong doing, but were simply treated like that, kicked and cuffed like dogs. The discrimination continued on to other Russian minorities, even Ukrainians in which the treatment was not so obvious, but the differences were still clear. The term "clean Russian" or "pure Russian" was used to denote someone at the top of the pyramid.

In 1994, the Budapest Agreement was signed, according to which Ukraine, at the suggestion of the West, renouned nuclear weapons and heavy bombers. And the West, represented by the United States and Great Britain, acted as the guarantor of its territorial integrity. This agreement effectively left Ukraine vulnerable against Russian aggression. And now the West does not want to give Ukraine the necessary offensive weapons because it does not want to quarrel with Putin.
