We were sent for meat, for slaughter, like a death conveyor - Russian POW

Tolkachyov Pavlo was mobilized on February 24, 2022 to the 125th regiment of the so-called Donetsk People's Republic. Tolkachyov says that the way the Ukrainian military treated him in captivity changed his outlook. In this conversation, the prisoner also spoke about the terrible attitude of Russian commanders, how Russia cheats its soldiers with their salaries, and how it monitors the private conversations and correspondence of its military.

People so traumatized are usually changed forever. In addition to flashbacks, there is a permanent loss of joy and fun, an ever present vigilance, and feel overly protective of children. Some want to isolate; some want to hang only with their war buddies. Some poets call them 'the burnt children'. They can serve a very valuable social functions, as guardians for the society, social critics, champions for the down trodden, as fearless leaders of social movements, as checks on corruption.

Even though he killed innocent Ukraine civilians. I have no sympathy

[@anthonywatson7735]

He's a broken man

[@sjrlithics7524]

as a human my heart goes out to this guy. i cant imaging how it would feel to be suppressed by a regime

[@HG_Budde]

Imagine your entire world collapses before your eyes, right before you reached you pension age, you lose your job and since you can't even feed your family anymore you decide the only way is dying in a war. It certainly was the wrong decision to make, but I think he's punished enough. After all, every one of us lives their life for the first time.

[@heidigone]

PTSD for life!... so so sad.

[@lovelyskull3483]

This man breaks my heart. I pray to all the Gods for him and his family. Thank you Ukraine.

[@Jul006]

That man broke my heart. He looks utterly defeated. If this is how the Russians treat their soldiers, I can't imagine how they treat their prisoners!

These are human beings like you and me. My heart went out to him and feel so bad that these happens to these people. I am an Air Force retiree and so as my wife. I joined so I can help with Vietnamese Nam because the U.S was loosing. I want to sacrifice my life for my country and proud of it. But I watched his interview, I was so sad.

[@joels5150]

Living Russian soldiers who’ve experienced Putin’s lies first hand could eventually go a long way to pushing for change in Russia.

[@lorysutherland5464]

Very painful and sad to watch...

We are, ourselves, responsible for every lie we fall for. Trust the government/military at your own peril.

Those POW Russian people should be encouraged by Ukraine to join the legions against Russia. Give them a fare wage, train them and be with the legions 🤔

[@trevorslater2746]

Rebellion is starting to feature more as Russian soldiers are getting even more disillusioned with their lot ,How do you know if a Russian is lieing? When they Open their Mouth

[@laurie9557]

He is Ukrainian, from the Donbas. So he could join the Ukrainian army after being vetted. But he looks like he is in a lot of pain; he needs to recover his health.

[@ellenfaulkner7616]

They must be thoroughly and interviewing. They need to be vetted

[@paulvarn4712]

Cannon Fodder is well known by all the Russians but they sit in the trenches anyway hoping the Ukrainians don't come to them. They are trained since childhood to only obey and not think.

[@peterp7063]

The supine nature of most Russian people is sadly evident in the several vox pop KZbin channels. This is the result of centuries of 'strong' leaders and repression. Only a few question what's going on in Ukraine and have the courage to say so on camera, albeit usually in coded language. It will probably take a long time to change this character.

[@albertfrog4939]

We need to kick the corrupt regime out.Russians like this fellow are as much victims to the system as the Ukrainians.A shame it has to be the infantryman who has to change his mind.Good will overcome the evil empire.Slava Ukraine. 🇺🇦🔱💯

After Putin is rotting in his grave there will be damaged people for years to come. Ukrainian and Russian as well. So sad. I hope Russia can fight of the crazy ruler’s that are in control now.

[@electricink3908]

Those savages had a slave system for centuries,they are happy to be opressed as long as they terrorise others. Tyranny and brutality are as much in their cultural make up as drunkeness and thievery,

[@upgrade1015]

Perhaps he doesn’t want NATO imf world bank gain of function research labs so close to his boarders because he knows the imf world bank starts shit and now … They are puppets in a proxy war so the democrats can funnel money to themselves and big war machine and companies like Raytheon. Wake up. Your people are dying.

I wonder if this video and others just like this are actually being seen in Russia?

[@marcharsveld2914]

We know.

This is the face of war. Any war. Whether at the time of like this... or 20 years later in a PTSD or 12 Step support group. I've seen it many times. And often in the mirror.
