"We Shot Our Own in the Back" - POW confession

- Опубликовано: 27 май 2023
- 💥 DISCLAIMER: the POW gave his clear consent for filming and publishing this footage. POWs are protected by the Geneva Convention and treated accordingly in Ukraine.
Hryhoriev was born in Ukraine, in the Donetsk region. But when the Russian occupation came, he got mobilized to the war against Ukraine. According to his words, he escaped the front line three times but was then brought back. This time he has escaped the Russian army for sure: he surrendered to the Ukrainian defenders. In the video, Hryhoriev tells about horrible methods used in the occupation army, including death squads that stay behind the lines and kill any deserters. Lack of supplies and inhumane attitude almost made the man break mentally, and he surrendered to the Ukrainian army when possible. Hear what he intended to say in our video.

The disregard for life in Russia is appalling.
They are barbarians.
Russians is Mordor for real(masked with KGB run Fake church)
2008 BAKU April 23 - The Russian Federation today is threatened less by radical Islamists than by “hundreds” of Satanist groups, totalitarian and extremist organizations that seek to “destroy” “centuries-old human values,” engage in “ritual murders,” and currently involve “several million” Russians, according to a senior researcher at the Russian Interior Ministry.
@@pw4780 Russia a disgraced place to live and born. After 6pm, when the police finish his work, they go to entrance of metro stations and start to seek and ask people documents to get extra money. You have to run from police if you just forgot your documents at home.
If the cashier is in bad mood he can discuss with you.
Most of russians are just rude and arrogant people.
They are not civilized and will take maybe 2 generations to change things in that place.
It's all about the rich elite looking to get richer.
Its been that way for a thousand years.
Russia exists to serve the desires of the Kremlin, there is no concern for the cost or the suffering to Russians as long as the dictators of the Kremlin are served, without limit.
My father fought for the Soviets in WW2. He told me stories like this. He emigrated here after the war and was proud to become a US citizen. He never went back, even to visit.
And we were happy to have him come here because it's people like your father that breathes new life into OUR Republic 🇺🇲👍

@@aleksrako2302 no it wasn’t Operation Paperclip was the seizure of 500 Nazi scientists,the man who put America on and around the moon was one of them Werner Von Braun who was a major in the SS,plus a few other war criminals who were Nazi scientists. That was Operation Paperclip friend,do some research on it. The Japs had a unit called 731 who committed atrocity’s against and upon Chinese civilians like live vivisection without anasthetic. At the end of the war the Americans said give us all of your expirimental data and experimental results and we will expunge your war crimes record. Which they duly did.
There's no way possible for these people to be motivated to fight. I don't see how they've made it this far. Russia is in deep trouble.
we dont want them to be motivated all should run away
Strongly agree.
And just think, these type's of things happen all the time in Russian army, how could this not demoralize an army... A bit of history GEN. G. Patten maybe the best fighting Genral the US had in world war 2 a fiery ,at times rebellious commander , but when Gen. IKE wanted something done , he called Patten. Patten was shelfed took his command away ( worst thing U could do to a leader fighting man like him) Why did this happen? in a visit to a GI hospital he slapped a shell shocked soldier ( this condition almost aways renders him unable to fight) called him a coward, long story short, the Russian army is shit, the horrible treatment of their troops demoralize, cripple the solders will to fight!
Russia always counts on overwhelming the opposition with sheer numbers of Russian soldiers.
@@garyhibbert4875 _“we dont want them to be motivated all should run away”_ [sic]

In 2017 I was in a language class with a Russian and Ukrainian friend. I was talking to the Russian about how cheap food is in Russia. After he told me that an ice-cream was only 10 cents I said 'what else is cheap in Russia?'. The Ukrainian turned around with a complete dead pan face and said... 'life'.
UA friend is 100% correct
Russian mobiks need to call the "I want to live " hotline. That is the best way they can get out of this nightmare intact. Cheers for the report.
Anyone who can run with Putin, all wanna be tin pot dictators, within,
You can see how they would think it would be an ambush
Nobody should be surprised by this. It was standard operating procedure for the Red Army in WW2. They also had punishment battalions for deserters and criminals that were sent to clear minefields by simply walking on the mines. Now the whole Russian army is a punishment battalion.
The good movie "enemy at the gates" .
We shot deserters in WW1 unfortunately 🇬🇧
@@no-oneinparticular7264 You were also the defender, not the aggressor. Not to mention the chasm of sheer scale, intent, collateral damage of desertion, due process, and purpose.

Hasn't progressed since the Stone Age, they simply 'borrow' the costumes of those who have..
Exactly!!!! It's sad and crazy
This man is just a year older than my granddaughter. This makes me sad. I hope he understands. I hope he finds inner peace. Praise Ukrainian forces for maintaining their humanity. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇸♥️💙💛🇺🇦
The ukrainians are real men and professional soldiers.
They already know they are powerful, unlike russians they don’t prey on unarmed soldiers, unarmed civilians, children, in order to feel powerful.
Thats also why the russians will never beat the ukrainians despite the huge difference in size, with regards to the amount of soldiers and weaponry.
Most likely the russians need 10 of their own to defeat 1 ukrainian…And thats only if they are not drunk, which they most likely are. Who dares to be sober in a clown army as the russian?

Well now that you truly realise, spread the word and surrender. That way you’ll live, live to enjoy life. How cruel Putin is treating his citizens; it’s deplorable.
In war, who would have thought, your enemy treats you better than your own officers and political leaders.
This is not a citizen of putlers regime, although he wanted to be.

There won't be peace for a long time. The real war is about to start. There are currently 19 independent private armies gearing up inside Russia and they aren't preparing to fight Ukraine or Nato, they're preparing to fight each other.
it's hard to retreat if you know doing so will result in your own shooting you dead..
Russia is a terrorist state and will not retreat I hope Ukraine can win but can they I don't see any benefits of showing these terrorist soldiers on this channel they all lie why is he any different
They aren't smart enough to coordinate a plan to overtake the rear before they go forward.
The elites will bleed the populace dry.
Absolutely shocking. They must be thinking, "what is the point? What are we doing this for? Who really are the bad guys?"
You would think so. And yet they keep obeying the authorities. They receive a summons and go buy gear with their own money, then go to the enlistment office like sheep to the literal slaughter. I cannot begin to understand them...
@@zanizone3617 It's fatalism, the feeling that no matter what they do, they're powerless to buck the system. A sort of learned helplessness.

@@paulford9120 Something along these lines, yeah… very sad.
@@paulford9120 True but it seems to be so endemic in Russian society, it's like its part of their national identity. Almost like they don't want happiness (or don't realise you have to _work_ at it, re: political involvement, understanding psychology, valuing a fulfilling, empathetic life)... I will have to refresh my memory of the 1917 revolution to see why they revolted then (revolution there seems like a rarity).
I guess since Putin's been in power, most Russians have enjoyed full bellies, plentiful vodka (numbing and subduing them), plus the stable enough pensions & jobs. The depression that runs rampant facilitates this learned helplessness that manifests as depoliticisisation, where they feel protest is useless, simply adding to their disempowerment.
A hopeless country, full of forlorn people, looking to hide in ignorance and darkness. How terribly sad.
Don't understand how someone goes through this and doesn't go full Hugo Stiglitz the moment they're given weapons and ammo.
Lemmings.
Because they still want to live. I have imagined being in their shoes and going postal on my commanders, but I have to remind myself that the objective isn't to kill the bastard commanders, but to survive. Most of these soldiers still have their survival instinct so they try the legal route until they get desperate enough to either surrender or go postal like those guys at the Russian shooting range. Even retreat isn't easy. First you have to say good bye to any family you have, because you will never see them again as a free man. Next, you have to confront your battle buddies to see if they will surrender with you, let you go on your own, or turn you in. Once you figure that part out, you have to sprint through no mans land as Ukrainians and Russians shoot at you. Finally, you have to trust that all that propaganda you were fed about what the Ukrainians do to POWs is a lie.
Russian commanders and officials should not only be held liable for crimes against humanity with regard to cities like Bucha, but also for their horrific treatment of their own soldiers.
Because it takes balls to actually do something and not just say it. Keyboard warrior.
This man has so much willpower he has seen so much and has done so much you can feel his burden and frustration through his words nobody deserves a life like this
Slava Ukraini! Glory to the Heroes! 🥰
Credit to him for acting with integrity and standing up for what is right.
Appreciate this person's honesty and detailed assessment of the Russian army's abysmal performance and the brutality its leadership visits on their own soldiers. Clear to see why the ranks behave the way they do.
I hated them all until I saw this guy
The Nazis also killed handicapped people, communist dictator Putin is just as bad 👊🏻
Putin betrays Russia, his own people, he sends the poor, the humble, the ignorant with nothing to defend themselves unless they pay for it themselves. Putin has exposed Russia as weak, driven off the friendship of civilized nations. No country is left for Russia but those who wish to take advantage of its weakness. Russia betrays its brother Ukraine, and for what. How long will Russia be shamed because of Putin? How long?
This type of disregard for LIFE starts from the TOP!
He saved his own life
I listened to this guy and sat motionless. How does such an enemy prevail??
Where do you see Russia prevailing ? They are loosing equipment & experience by the day and have pretty much only replaced their lost troop with mobilisation (remember 100k+ dead means a lot more wounded). Ukraine on the other hand now has more equipment, troops & experience than they started this war with and the whole Western supply chain & many of its training facilities behind it. Time is on Ukraine's side here, at least as long as the West is backing them, they aren't stuck in the negative feedback cycles that the Russian are....
They don't. They only won their part of World War 2 because America funded it. Although they always conveniently leave that part out.
They can only prevail if the free world does nothing.
They took a few cities and Bahkmut thats it. Hardly prevailing. Remember Ukrainians give a shit about their troops so they dont do dumb reckless shit that Russia does. Or if they do, they learn from it, and try not to repeat it. Just give it a bit, the hammer is about to be laid down by Ukraine.
Bc i never lose
God help him. Hunting men down and forcing them to fight wars is like a form of human trafficking.
No. Unless he does not fight inside russia he is not worth it. These guys are thoisands trying to refuse fighting. Shall they turn against russia and do the right thing instead of causing work for Ukraine.
@@iloveaviation-burgerclub-a8145 these are Ukrainians living in the occupied territories 🤦🏽♀️

@@starlightbarking9495 To be fair, Ukraine itself has been known to track men down and quite literally drag them off the streets over mobilization orders. On the other hand, there are exponentially more Russians and Russian-speaking Ukrainians unwilling to fight for "the motherland," compared to Ukrainians and their own. After all, Ukraine is the one fighting for a just cause, whereas Russia acts merely on Putin's egomaniacal crusade.
They use people from the occupied territories as slave soldiers and cannon fodder. Just like in WW2.

@@paulerickson1906 Money; its all about money. If they have it then they don't want to risk losing their money. Because the upper crust have money through their ill gotten gains, they do not want to see their spoiled, over privileged children to have to go to fight for their country. Meanwhile the poorer minority groups in Russia are the first to go, training or no training because in the eyes of the rich they are expendable.

Come on Russian soldiers, turn your back on this tyranny.
Shoot back at the Russians that shoot you. It's called "tit for tat" game theory. And it should work too.
That's the thing about this, it's exactly how such brutal tyranny takes hold in the first place.
The absolute cowardice and apathy currently endemic in that country that not only allows but actively supports and inflicts this horrific barbarity. How quickly and easily those that are armed will shoot each other at the slightest word, despite their incessant complaints of how unfair, inhumane, and terrible it is, yet they will not for a second lift a finger to protect each other against such tyranny. They will shoot you in a heartbeat instead of simply resisting much less shooting the actual tyrant.
Resistance worked in Belarus, also tyrannical, yet all they had to do was threaten and not even actually shoot any "brass hat" and it has kept them out of Putler's invasion since.
Can you imagine for half a second any such orders or insane brutality in any "Western" military ever?? Not in a heartbeat. Ruzzians are a sick, sick society...
This confirms many things that we have been hearing about the invasion
This politicians and all need to be in prison for genocide and human rights. How can the world allow this

A Russian POW in Ukraine tells of his heart- breaking experience from his own Russian military unit and how Russian military inhumanely operates in the frontline. To save his life he surrendered to the Ukrainian army. My heart goes out to him and to others who are peace- loving people like him who didn't want to fight in Ukraine.

He is actually from the Russian occupied part of Ukraine. He was treated as expendable by the Russians. This is full encorporation of these areas into Mother Russia?
He's ukrainian born ukrainian. The problem in my opinion when he initially had the chance to decide, why didnt he decide to serve the ukrainian army but try to wait it out and 8 years later find yourself being drafted to an foreing army (russian army) to kill your fellow countrymen.

Unreal.
When you have a bunch of soldiers who take no dignity in serving, they do not believe that any of their strategic goals can be accomplished, nor do they care if they are because they're more concerned with their basic survival needs (food, shelter, warm clothing, ammo), for them they're not even fighting a war, it's more like Naked and Afraid with guns.
And the bots keep on yapping on how "great!!" The orc army is. I just don't understand why they don't just turn on the command and work out a surrender. It's easier than dying.

In the Netherlands we've had Russian war prisoners who where stationed on our islands to stop them from fleeing from the Nazi's in WW2.
The people on the islands and the Rusians became good friends and where fed to stay alive by the people.
When the war was over many returned home, but some remained because they fell in love with a Dutch girl😊.
And by staying here they saved there lives, because the ones that went to Russia where executed upon arrival; as traitors!
I still remember how shocked we where to find out what happened to our friends.
We erected a monument for those heroes, who fought heroic for our freedom; and got killed by there own people as a "thank you" for it.
Simply because they survived and where captured mostly severe wounded.
I'm so glad a good portion of them stayed and 1 of them became my father whome I dearly miss ❤ 😢
You have absolutely no choice but to turn on your commanders. Getting captured is the best option if you get that far. This guy is probably one of the lucky one if you can say that

It's sad how Russia treats it's people, and it's soldiers. I'm surprised that they haven't begun forced enlisting of women yet. They must be running out of men to fight.

As a young boy growing up during the Cold war. I was lead to believe that the Soviet/Russian military was a huge scary military machine of epic proportions. They were supposed to be strong & tough S.O.B.. However, ive come to believe that the whole time it was the Ukrainian Men that made this military might truly strong. The Russians have been sucking of the hard work of all the other people's that made up the Soviet Union /Russian federation.
nice! Ukraine abides to war conventions

He is a forcibly conscripted Ukrainian from the occupied territories. A slave soldier that the Russians use as cannon fodder and front troops to absorb incoming fire amd reveal enemy positions for the Russian troops
They have weapons and they don't use the officers?
Not very surprising as my dad was born in Korea 1921 and he lived in Japan to study too. He told me many years how he’d been coerced by his friends in university but he didn’t. Why? He hated been brainwashed and he couldn’t afford to be killed. Very respectful indeed.

This was done by the Russian military during WW2 . The only reason they did well in the final days of that war was because they sacrificed hundreds of thousands of their soldiers. They lost more men than all the other countries combined. They don't teach that in Russian schools.
