My cousin from Rostov was taken from his place of employment in a factory making cardboard boxes and told he is going to Ukraine to defend the motherland... from who was not told. Weeks later they were told the entire world wanted Russia to die, and it was up to them to save Russia. If they didn't they were traitors and not 'real' Russians. My 19yr old cousin surrendered after his platoon was wiped out, over 90 odd Russian forced-conscripts killed. Surrounded by advancing well trained Ukrainian soldiers he knew he was going to be killed along with all the other poorly trained and prepped members of his unit, so he gave up. He never wanted to be there and didn't believe his countries leaders that Russia was going to be wiped out by Ukraine or the collective West...in his opinion none of them should be in Ukraine and killing people for Putin's delight. He spent 17 weeks in Ukranian custody and was fed 3 times a day and given comfortable bedding and medical treatment by the people he was sent to kill. Privately he admitted his battalion had orders to take no prisoners, and wondered how his life may have been different if he was treated the same way his comrades treated Ukrainian soldiers. He got swapped for Ukrainian soldiers and was immediately ordered back to the front and looked down upon for surviving his units massacre...as he said, he was treated like a traitor by his superiors for surviving the massacre. Last we heard he had been sent to the front lines near Adrivka and all communication devices had been confiscated, lest he communicate any details to friends, family or the enemy. No one has heard from him for nearly 7 weeks now and all are thinking the worst. This young man had many Ukrainian friends before the war and could not understand why they were suddenly declared evil and needed killing. He never outright said so as he is not stupid, but he knew full well Russia had no business invading Ukraine and subjecting their supposed brothers to such inhumane and horrific treatment...we just hope he is still alive and might get through this atrocity forced upon him by lunatics drinking wine in their luxurious surroundings.

Thanks for sharing. I'm sorry about your cousin. It gets easier to make blanket statements about hating Russians. But the truth is there are many just swept up by the police state they live in. The guy in this interview despite some mis information basically said "I had a Good life I was happy. Things where affordable. We traveled we all got along. I was with my family.. None of this made sense" n that pretty much sums it up for millions. Putin just couldn't let things be. He wanted empire. Really sucks.

Just like this guy he claims he is a Ukrainian and liked his life in Ukraine well when he was in Donetsk when it was occupied 9 years ago he should have left then if he didn't want to be part of the Russian world, he should have left to a free area of Ukraine but he chose to stay and he part of the occupation and paid the price for it, not only getting forced to go fight for the occupiers he's seen as a traitor by the Ukrainians.

Putler only understands one thing and that's force and aggression, he's terrified of NATO that's why there should have been action taken in 2014 because he knew Angela Merkel would pacify the US and the rest of NATO because she was Putin's useful idiot for 25 years and she would have claimed oh our gas is going to get cut off and all of that BS, she actually trusted this monster and coddled and praised him like Trump it made me sick.

I watch the Russian "1420 by Daniil Orain" channel here on YT. Daniil is a savvy interviewer who asks Russian people in the street about certain topical issues. In WW2 there were the Good Germans, the ones who resisted the Nazis. Well, Daniil is one of the Good Russians, knowing what and how to ask everyday Russians questions about the war, where they stand and what they think. It is often hard to get straight replies if the responders are anti war/Putin(and there are many that he comes across), there is much fear there in Russia, but Daniil takes the risks to make people in Russia step up and think. When the Ukraine wins this war I hope they remember and acknowledge folk like Daniil: Ones who resisted in the ways they did to help stop or curb what is so very wrong in Russia and by proxy in the Ukraine with this war. 💙🧿

Yep, they earn 3.5 million rubles a year and yet they are still poorer than the average Ukrainian. Why, it costs 350 million rubles just for a house in New Zealand. Immigration has made the cost of living so expensive, even the big money you earn still means you are poor. A cup of coffee in New Zealand set you back 2000 rubles as well. The governments answer print more money and pay more, only the more you get the sooner you find yourself paying a higher tax bracket, essentially meaning the more you earn the less you get. It is a net win for the government, but for the average person, it is a complete scam. The focus shouldn't be on increasing pay, but on decreasing the cost of living. Something the New Zealand government won't help with. One obvious way for the government to decrease costs is by doing away with GST/ VAT. The worst gangster tax in the world.

Ужасный перевод, монотонный голос, слушать очень трудно. Где можно увидеть это интервью в оригинале?

[@operator9858]

i think russian interviews with its prisoners are far more interesting...

He doesn't understand what the war is about but he moved to Crimea with his family. In other words he is guilty of stealing land himself.

[@meso8848]

What a pure Ukrainian propaganda

[@JC-jv5xw]

Why do UATV use a translator with such a stilted and heavy accent that is very difficult to follow. It would have been better to use subtitles, plus it allows us to hear the demeanour of the interviewee.

Lies

Sorry to point it out, but your English pronunciation of "THE" as "З"э - was very disturbing.

[@yevhenkonowaletz1346]

Fully agree . I made the point and was mildly reproached. Linguistically the "th" sound is not that difficult to learn to pronounce correctly. It bugs me too .

Not that I think this isn't legit, its just as a prisoner, any prisoner, can you really say whatever you want? I don't think so. Free the humans.

But do not free the orcs!

He is a Ukrainian conscript taken more or less off the street. Potentially he can just stay in Ukraine.

[@barbarahesford5061]

I heard someone say that a lot of Russians don't want to be returned and they have that choice. Don't know how that applies to DPR/LPR.

[@christianevanherck6023]

According to Ukraine's "I want to live" surrender-service, if they surrender officially they can choose to stay in custody and apply for political asylum in Ukraine, Germany and the Netherlands.

[@Pippie5555]

​@theinfidel8244 Exactly. Once they get exchanged they will be sent back to the meat grinder. Some have asked to remain a POW in Ukraine until the war ends.

[@reptilespantoso]

You're forcing some poor guy to badmouth his community at gunpoint. Fairly disgusting.

[@MarcoP70]

Where in Russia are you from?

You have to feel sorry for this poor guy. He is as thin as a rake and looks like he is 80 years old. If these geriatrics are the fighting pride of the Ruzzian armed forces then God help them to their inevitable defeat.

Right on, Right on, P RIGHT ON FINALLY A REAL MAN, A BEAST OF A WORKER! OFTEN PULLING 2 SHIFTS, HE WAS HAPPY, WAS NEVER GOING TO BE RICH BUT HE WAS VERT CONFORTABLE, had a little family and everything you needed. He could have lived the rest of his life there in been quite happy. As an older man he should be able to retire and relax. Suddenly find himself held at gunpoint and without explanation just threw him on a train like that. It's very close to what the Nazis did to the Jewish population. Being explained that they have to go to the front and get in the trenches, they're empty. The gutter despair Outfield if I was in the situation and I hope to rely upon well-timed opportunity to get myself the fuck out of Ukraine, pretty big commitment you have to carefully chicken vent all of the checkpoints. Just that and the fact that they're likely to shoot at you if you run. Even take a piss under guard of a machine gun.. they treated them like slaves, and it seems to be what he's doing to his own people, the largest population of supposed conscript at gunpoint., it's no coincidence that the just by chance every single member of every single Rich oligarch family doesn't have a single number on the list. Can you imagine that I thought they were so respectful of the system of democracy? Wait are you telling me Putin wasn't elected by popular vote? I got to do some reading I don't know how it happened three times probably about to be a fourth I did not a 90% to 10% that sounds really probable and it doesn't matter that it's almost exactly what you did first three times? They're just throwing the hard-working simple people basically the Lions and sounds very traumatic to be made to kill. It sounds like you were found by ukrainians before they could totally destroy you, it tells you a pretty clear picture when you finally attempt to take a pee to get a minute alone and you realize that they're going to follow you with an automatic rifle oh, I don't know about you but I've been through some shit but threatened flash psychotic Russian who most certainly has killed a lot of people and you seems somehow proud of himself, narcissistic? Narcissistic-socio-psychop. ath Automatica rifle has not happened, knock on wood :-)
