As an American soldier, seeing the Russians like this really humanizes them. All the talk about “russki this russki that” but they are all normal guys and everyone one of them is younger than me. At the end of the day we all want the same things. We all want a comfortable life with a family and no worries. We all want peace and not war. Hopefully they can bring this to an end quickly.
It boggles the mind why he is using so many conscripts. He should have used the professional soldiers and elite units because these conscripts clearly don't want to fight. No way could these soldiers hold and subdue a hostile population even if they won because they clearly don't believe in the mission or even know what the mission is.
Russian soldiers with a Ukrainian Accent...hm
@@almac9203 Russia has always been a conscript military...sprinkle in a few well trained troops...but mostly conscripts!
yeah the way he talk it sounds like Vietnam or Iraq or panama or any other place the usa dislikes that day.
As an American soldier? This is what you would do if you were captured? Wow. You must be one of those “nouveau” soldiers. 🤡🤡🤡
I am Ukrainian and my heart breaks for their mothers, nobody needs this war
Just live your happy life.
You have a big heart.
You do know that they’re all trained to say the same thing if they’re ever held as prisoners of war right? They know exactly why they invaded Ukraine, they’re just trained to respond with words of damage control.
Russian civilians who have been tortured and murdered by Ukraine death squads, over 14,000, they need this to stop the Ukraine invasion of Russian autonomous states!!

Don’t go back,
Please go somewhere safe and start a new life.
Be grateful to the Ukrainian gave you a second chance.
Good luck to all of you.
May God bless all of you.
‘Ukrainian army are nice guys, they gave us food and didn’t shoot at us’
This is totally heartbreaking.
I wonder if it will be safe for them to return to Russia after the war? Putin probably sends them off to Siberia as Stalin did to the soldiers who met the Americans in WWII.
Тем временем силы специальных операций Украины заявила, что они не будут брать пленных, вместо этого они будут РЕЗАТЬ российских солдат
I wonder how much of that is true and how much is Ukrainian propaganda
yep..its the generation fortnite and tiktok and then they were thrown into this..people defending their homeland are always more motivated

I'm a Canadian Veteran of the Afghanistan war and I feel bad for these young men. In war, there are no real winners. Just pain, blood and lots of tears.
@Ellen Hayden Not if they agree to it. Besides I don't think they would care any how. They are literally being treated real well, even though they are invading there country.
We’re they tortured to do it? Or did they agree to it. I have seen a ton of these videos and the Russian soldiers still on the battlefield are making these videos. Maybe they really disagree with it? Or maybe you are so woke you have to find a reason to be offended?
@Ellen Hayden There is no such rule. Besides, it's not propaganda if it's true, and they don't appear abused to me - well fed (finally) and comfortable, if anything. I guess you didn't see the reports of Russian soldiers knocking on farmhouse doors begging the Ukrainians for food? Or puncturing their own gas tanks to disable their vehicles?
@Ellen Hayden I'm about 50% on board with that, 50% not. Not quite the same level as the Hanoi Hilton.
Forcing statements for propaganda is pointless, and counterproductive. If anything, it will enrage Russians at home.
But treat them well, because it was always obvious they didn't want to do this sh*t in the first place, and just let them speak their minds out of honesty, which they are KINDA doing here. But not without an agenda.
tears widows and orphans
These young men must NEVER be sent back to Russia. They will "disappear ".
That's for sure! 😟
I'm already 27 yrs old, and hearing the age of these young men who were fooled and became pawns for their greedy leader, really breaks my heart.
I’m 28 and found myself having this exact thought. My god.
Do you know his name 0:32?
Opo
My grandfather used to say, "Hitler took my best years away from me."
Same for these boys, wasted and dying in a war they didn't even knowingly sign up for.
You mentioned Hitler have you looked into the azos milatary Ukraines noe nazies battalion they have killed 14000 danbask Ukraines in the last 8 years
Well what do you expect when you sign up to be a soldier? Don't be naive.
I doubt very much these soldiers are volunteers.
My grandfather was also forced to fight for the Nazi regime - even though he hated Nazis. My grandfather's story completely adds up as to how and when he was conscripted against his will and where he was used (because pretty much all conscriptions happend around the same time for people his age). He was forced onto an armored vehicle at his school when he was just 17 and held at gun point. He was then sent to North Africa (the first military theatre that used conscripts) and later Russia. He was always more afraid of his own commanding officer than the enemy, because the enemy was at least relatable and understandable while his own commander could decide that a small tactical retreat was desertion/treason just because of a mood swing - with deadly consequences.
Do you know what word conscription means. They did not volunteer
Every soldier has a father, a mother, a sibling and girlfriend maybe just like you and I do.
Each killed soldier in this war will absolutely tear apart the hearts of the people who loved them. We can only hope the war will settle soon, for the sake of the population of both countries.
Pls understand that Ukrainian has to protect themselves. They have no choice
Except that Putin has no regard for life - just power, money, position, ambition. Dead lives mean absolutely nothing to him.
hi pojesh
Each soldier has a choice, they can lay their weapons down, they can walk away, they can disobey orders, they can take their evil leaders into custody.
@@whateverbabe Found the spy.
In all seriousness you just wrote something that in no way changes the fact that Putin is warmongering dictator, no matter how many "what about"-ism you use
I know it feels like "losing your face", being put on display like this. But remember: you guys actually scored the best price of them all: you're alive, healthy and do no murdering (anymore - or maybe you never did). One day you'll appreciate this. National pride or patriotism isn't a bad thing per se, but one of the most important things, that can easily be misused, when the wrong guys are in command and give you your orders. Defend your country, your home, your family and friends, when they are actually threatened by someone, but do not invade innocent people and destroy their lifes. Orders like this can only be wrong. I was hoping people learned that from history lessons by now. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it.
@Rick Vis War? Its a special military operation. Its also a War crime to shell civilians but not on par with this is it? much less serious. How about rape or castration?
These young men will never be able to go back to Russia because of these testimonials. I'm heartbroken for all those families who have and will lose loved ones from this war, even the families back in Russia who will never be told the truth of why their sons were sent to Ukraine. Slava Ukraine
This is insane. Imagine these young men could become educated at university and innovate and generate value in Russia.
@fine bla, bla, bla
Reminds me of Tim O’Brien’s “The Things They Carried”. When he killed the Vietnamese soldier, he thought about his life outside of his warlike mindset.
they can't do that!....it would make Putin look bad...
Notice how they all say the same things, they are bred for war. Wake up people Putin is not an idiot
people are never was valuable for lenin, stalin, putin... it's just numbers.
I am a Vietnam veteran and it breaks my heart to see these young soldiers betrayed, captured, and now put to shame. You can see what it means to "lose face" by their downcast eyes. It will get more difficult when they get home, traumatized and changed forever, and try to tell their story to uncomprehending family and friends. They will be denounced as cowards. They will isolate and live alone with their shame and unrequited rage against their betrayers, these terrible moments they are living now will not only not go away, instead will be the daily thoughts and ruminations that will intrude on every moment and cripple them mentally and drive them to drink, drugs, suicide, all by the acts of the war criminal -not LBJ, but Vladimir Putin! To say they will have "ptsd" is really just totally off point, one should understand that.
Putin will actually be waiting for them for thorough punishment e.g sleeping in sewage pump for one month
Yes the will feel shame when they return but the people in Russia don't want the war so that feeling will come from inside them.
there will not be stories I fear they will probably be killed or thrown into prison,,,maybe defect...
They go back to Russia, not being understood is the least of their worries, they are going to die or rot in prison. Russia has, and never will change.
Most likely they're lost if ever come back to russia with prison as deserters at best.
Please don’t feel bad. You were deceived, you were just trying to provide for your family. We are not here to mock you or make fun of you. I’m glad you are being treated well, thank you for trying to save your countrymen from suffering the same fate. Telling the truth is being a real hero, not digging in your heels and fighting against your own conscience for some psycho dictator or your own ego. You made the right choice.
Don't know how real this is..... Because when this person goes home they will kill him. So how is this smart?
Don't believe their lies - they knew what they were to do and where they were going. Maybe they 'had no choice' but my heart does not bleed for them but for Ukraine

“War is rich old men protecting their property by sending middle class and lower class young men off to die. It always has been.” - George Carlin
Yeah, George Carlin, renowned historian and expert on warfare. Every part of that is wrong. Pick up any history book.
War is old men talking, young men dying
No, this is not about property, it's about a deranged person who thinks he can subjugate an entire nation into living under his iron fist...
In this case that is partially correct. Biden, Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry, and Mitt Romney all have children doing "business" (plundering Ukraine's resources) with gas companies in Ukraine, so the criminal government allowing that to happen must be protected - no? Russia should have done this long ago, because over 14,000 Russian people have been tortured and murdered the last 8 years, since Ukraine's democratically elected government was overthrown by CIA and other satanic elements. When you see disgusting, degenerate, satanically possessed Hollywood celebrities supporting Ukraine's government, you know it's evil. Hopefully Russia can help Ukraine's people have a fair election, and get rid of the corrupt, degenerate filth that was installed as their puppet leader - have you seen him do his gay dance in high heels, or playing piano with his penis.......?

I wish they had blocked out the faces of these young men. This puts them and their families in grave danger.

During the second world war, supposedly a Russian general explained that the method they used to clear a minefield was to march a battalion thru it. Listening to these boys proves the military lack of respect for its own people.
The army never respected it's soldiers, and it's not supposed to, a soldier knows that I think
Yes thats true,but they have a method they attached metal trowers on the front of their tanks to clear minefields tanks then the infantry its worked so that nobody got killed so please know what you are saying before you type
Also fckin putin organized this plan for ukraine
Edit: this tactic was suppresively used in operation bagration.
Soviet General Zhukov:
" When we encounter a minefield, out infantry charge like there are no mines"
And many more - order to execute not only soldier, but his ENTIRE familiy if he got captured. He was responsible for bringing tanks into Budapest (terrible idea) in 1956, crushing revolting people, who just wanted democracy and freedom. Losing many tanks and people of course.
Putin is like him in many ways.
And sad thing is - despite that in Russia they are still building his monuments and call Zhukov "a hero".
I think some of the Northern European countries did that too. After Germany fell, they made inexperienced boys disarm mines planted on their shores. Cant remember the movie and Country who supposedly did it too. People of all nations can be Evil at times.
Russians do not think like the rest of Europeans and European-Americans. It's like they've all been hit in the head with a baseball bat. I know a few personally. Something is just not right with them. I've listened to interviews with former CIA heads of various departments and they all say that Russia doesn't do things like the rest of the world. They're sick. They have government schools in which they recruit attractive women to send to America to seduce and even marry men in US government. They give their lives up and have children with these men just so they can spy. The Russians have been told constant lies from the Kremlin their whole lives. Many of them currently don't know that their troops are waging war on Ukraine.
It scares me that they are around my age. They have no wish to be part of this, poor kids...

As a history teacher... This is a textbook level and outdated war strategy by Soviet Union from WW2 and the Cold War era. Soften up the defenses with your most dispensable units (PFCs) operating outdated/cheap weaponry who are barely trained and are usually very young and/or very old who have little idea what's going on. Then after enemy positions have been confirmed, weakened, and communications systems damaged the highly trained and specialized soldiers with newer weaponry and tech will follow to mop up and quickly establish firm control of key locations. Supposedly Ukrainian military recently intercepted Russian transmission discussing their expectation that this war would take 15 days, suggesting their strongest attacks have yet to come. Make no mistake, this is not only an unprovoked war but a genocide of the Ukrainian people, their culture, and their nation-state by the Russian Federation. Utterly heartbreaking to see this play out. I feel for the entirety of Ukraine and any Russian soldiers lied to about their mission. Putin is a monster.
Don't worry if even Putin will be able to invade whole Ukraine, Ukrainians will begin guerrilla war. West will support it for unlimited time utill Russia will finally loose the war. Especially with current economical situation it seems Putin will loose not only the war with Ukraine but everything he has now.
Hmmm

@@JohnSmith-mm8yd you really think there would be enough Ukrainian "guerilla" fighters to constantly resist Russian invasion? I'm sorry but that's just dragging on the inevitable and killing more people in the process

"Cannon fodder" or "пушечное мясо" is a word known to all soldiers be they Russian, Ukrainian, whoever. These kids were lied to so many times along the path and they know they weren't prepared. They know what they were in this adventure. Their moms can pick them up. They're the lucky ones. The Ukranians know who is responsible for all of this in the end. Maybe these words will reach mothers and their sons so that others are not fooled, cajoled to be cannon fodder for one man's lie.
first to go, last to know
These Russians are being told what to say. That is clear. We should take what they say with a grain of salt. I'm not saying it's wrong to video them and get them to say certain things. I hope it helps Ukraine in some way. Most likely, the captured Ukraine soldiers are doing the same thing.

Any public appearances can put prisoners of war at risk when they are returned to their home country, and also prove problematic for their families whilst they are detained.

And no there are people in countries around the world who see through the pro-NATO narrative. Unfortunately the censorship machine is working round the clock.

This made me cry. Young boys fighting a War of an old angry man.
That's how all wars are fought unfortunately
As usual. Unfortunate.
the way they describe it it was no fight they were sent to die.
it´s men, because this is bigger than just russia. if you really think the united states are not involved in this you are naive.
Old angry MEN.
This shit is everywhere.
Poor young men.
So sad they're young and innocent
Some say surrender is a form of weakness, but I'd say, its an act of strength.
👍
I don't know if Ukraine surrendering to Russia would be seen as an act of strength.
@@0x2A_ I’m referring to Russian troops that know they did the wrong thing, I understand how my wording may have been read w/ out enough context, sorry!
Totally agreed. These guys get a chance to go back to their families for something they didn’t sign up to do. Most people sign up to protect their country not to invade and commit murder. I hope these guys get a chance to live a normal life after this is all over
Then go to Ukraine and fight the Russians, won't you?
I feel bad for these guys, I mean it’s good that they spoke out and everything if they felt like it was the right thing but surely they’ll be seen as traitors in the Russian government’s eyes
paranoid putin will be executing half his government soon
I think most Russians would agree with these kids , most know that Putin is a monster , they're in the streets now protesting this war in Moscow !! Putin must be held responsible for these war crimes !! Elect someone the they did in Ukraine , and we have peace at last ! Oligarchs must go along with Putin !
@@johnboy425
Actually it’s both sides leaders and all leaders involve that need to be charge war crimes.
The Russian government is the traitor here, after betraying the Russian people in general and these soldiers as well as their dead comrades specifically.
Feel bad? Lol! Sure you do.
This is heartbreaking. So many young lives! How many of us were made to do things that we did not approve or want due to ignorance, naiveness, lack of maturity, understanding, knowledge or experience? We reach adulthood or middle age, look back into our lives and think: I wish I had done this and that differently. The truth is, we did not know better, we did not know before what we know today! I wish these guys will go on living a life full of love, wisdom, understanding and give back the respect they received in Ukraine.
These poor boys. Heart breaking. You can see they are terrified. What choice did they have?
"i just turned 22" He has to be one of the oldest looking 22 year olds I've ever seen. Also, I've seen a video where a Russian soldier is talking about how they've been given old expired rations from 2015 to eat (he actually shows the rations and date) and how he feels like they're being used as cannon fodder, basically. Terrible stuff.
Russians love putin, they agree what he does to their soldiers. They want more land. And every boy in this video went to Ukraine knowing that he will kill Ukrainian people.

Crazy to think that if I'd been born in Russia or Ukraine I'd be fighting a war right now, but instead I am privileged enough to have a roof over my head, a stomach full of food, and an internet connection.
Considered luxury than to be born in the land of palestinian or libya or syria or yemen or myanmar
... until Putin starts nuking
@Patricia Gains that'll help.....
I feel the same way from here in the US. Quietly living my life in peace and with what I need or want for comfort.
@Patricia Gains I'm rather donating stuff for them instead of praying
I hope they will be protected after sharing their feelings, so bravely.
Look how young these kids are.It’s an atrocity they have been lied to
I can't help but to feel heartbroken for these young men. Unimaginable to be deceived this way to their possible deaths...💔😭. Praying for everyones safety...🎚🙏🎚
Youd think by now you wouldnt trust a dam thing any media spouts after the last 2 years. Everything now has become blatant lies. Do you know the real reason why russia is in Ukraine? Why they have been at it since 2014? Why the podcaster said last October that the word from the elitists was a war in February...how did he know that
@@cheeseymccheese7249 yes Russia stole Crimea and other parts of Ukraine because of the new oil fields. Ukraine retaliated by closing the canal that supplies water to the Crimea and its now dying and costing Russia lots to keep supplied. Now Putin makes war because he wants to make a new empire and remove the thorn in his side before it joins the EU or NATO and he loses his opportunity.
Its called PROPAGANDA. Or theater. If you want.
@@nozhki-busha stop watching news kiddo
Added suggestion: Each time a Ukrainian leader (incl UN Rep) speaks to a camera, have a large font digital display alongside - showing # of casualties - in real time - akin to the real-time numbers ticker at Times Sq. NYC. add a bell tone to each new number. ding ding.....
As one said a few days ago "I got here and didn't know who to shoot at. They look like me. Sound like me. I couldn't do it." Imagine Americans, Canadians or Brits going to war...and you're a soldier having no idea what you're doing, and there's no Nazi's anywhere.
Dang, that is so sad. Basically going next door to gun down your neighbors who also happens to be your family.
It’s no issue when your “enemy” is of a darker shade.
Simply put, white people are conflicted when it comes to shooting other white people.
@@phallopeonchoobs5290 You know I wanted to deny this statement. But I cannot. You are so very right on this. Its a very sad state of affairs that a person's color can either save you or condemn you. I live the "freest" country in the world yet see skin color deciding one's fate daily. It's saddening as well as sickening. After all, in the end the blood spilled is identical no matter the race or creed.
it is even more ridiculous than that because UK,Canada and US are multinational and multicultural countries. this is literally war between two same nations.It is like war in ex Yugoslavia 30 years ago.and what we have as a result of that war, we are poor as fuck even 27 years later ... maybe it is time to re start this planet since we as a people are retarded.just leave dogs and other animals on it.
@@phallopeonchoobs5290 No shit
How kind is Ukraine to the enemy soldiers .. what a testimony for Christ.. it has me crying.. I wonder what Putin and thinks watching this video. May God's presence be with you Ukraine as HE was with Joseph in the Bible .
Send these children as soon as possible home to their mothers
Of all the horrendous scenes in the last 7 days, I feel like these young lads have such a powerful message for friends and family back in Russia. If Putin cannot control his army, what does he have… as much as Ukraine is fighting for their country, Russians have a huge fight for theirs. Not on foreign soil but within the political system that has allowed Putin such power. My heart bleeds for the ordinary men, women and children in both countries. I wish the UK was doing more militarily .. I get why we’re not, but it doesn’t seem right
The video has 4k views and 8k likes. This is pure RUclips/Ukraine propoganda.
I pray this will be the end of Putin
@@bombsawaylemay770 explain?
It certainly does not seem right to be doing more, because we see the atrocities NOW. But, if things escalate further? We'll wish we hadn't stepped so far.
@@bombsawaylemay770 No i recognize some of them during the first 2 days of the Russian invasion. One of the videos show the dead russian bodies. destroyed Russian tanks. These people surrendered.

I really feel sorry for these guys. Young kids (from my perspective as a 66 year old), conscripted to fight in a war they don't want, lied to by their officers, and abandoned at the first opportunity by the Russian "leadership".
They are some mother's son. At least they are safe now, as weird as that sounds.
This is what happens when any madman is in power. My heart goes out for these young men and those who died while not fighting a war they knew nothing about. 💔
These are young people. Deceived and Sacrificed. This is heart-breaking. May God help them all.🙏🏼
SOLDIERS are ALWAYS YOUNG !!! Wake up, learn your history. The average age of an American soldier in VIETNAM was 19 ! Learn HISTORY ! Dang !
shh,.., dont use god words here,, god sleeping and you dreaming,

Average age is 19 not 27. My kid there. Signed up due to Pandemic. He can't handle the online classes. He said many signed up because they lost their jobs. Various reasons why they're there. I see my kid in them. Putin gonna court martial them and so their family. Hope Ukraine will give leniency and give asylum to these kids.
War: where old men send young men to fight THEIR battles and win more treasure for THEM. The "leaders" who send them to kill and die and the only winners.
I understand you feel sorry for them because they are not your enemies and they are not lying to your face that they did not know that they were going to war with Ukraine.

"I was not abused by Ukrainian soldiers." Listen... I realize that I'm watching propaganda. And I hope that most other people realize this as well.
It's war and people are going to be committing terrible acts, on both sides. The best thing for now would be to end this conflict as quickly as possible and to send everybody home.
There's been enough misery over the last seven days.
The truest, most objective comment out there
Yeah it looks like they are just repeating what they were told to say
Another video where some shady ''russian captives'' were saying the exact same thing as in this video but outdoors. 1 captive, is seen with soda and treats beside him. Strange uniforms also. This is not authentic. Some may not even be russian soldiers for that matter.
Then why did that one soldier have his arm fixed or did you miss that
This propaganda is actually ingenious. It does a few different things: 1. severely lowers morale of Russian troops; 2. puts the focus of ire on the Russian leadership, rather than the Russian people as a whole; and 3. further improves Western sentiment and support for Ukraine. I'd be impressed if I wasn't so disturbed by it.
God Bless the unknowing Russian soldiers and people.....ty for speaking out!!!! Fight against the liar Putin!!!!!
Theyre just young men 😭💔 this is so sad.
Old power hungry men, sending children to fight their wars nothing ever changes.
Old”rich” men and young”poor” boys , I’m thinking.
*War; war never changes*
Old senile man like to warch 18yr boys in tanks. Look at moscows military parades from the past years...
My Dad was in Vietnam for 7-years during the Vietnam War.
He said he would see the American kids who were drafted into the Army , barely 17-years of age, still " playing around"...and when Hit during combat, would literally cry for Their Mom..😢
That's so sick! It shouldn't be happening in this day and age_ this is all wrong..
Human beings are really worse than animals to do that to innocent and inexperienced young men!!!
That's why all the leaders responsible for starting this should be executed. The russian leaders.
@@unotjarikangueehi3075 well I wouldn’t go that far. Animals literally eat each other alive. Watch “Kruger Sightings” if you’ve never seen that channel, some of the most viewed animal videos on RUclips. Large lions, rhinos, alligators, wildebeests, hyenas all eating each other alive. It makes humans incredibly humane by comparison. Lions will attack a huge wildebeest all at once and literally bite down and rip its testicles off.... ghastly...
That was last century. We are in the 21st century now. This is WORST.

It's probably the same in every army.. Privates do as they're told, Seargents are told to keep privates in line and to do as their told.
Lieutenants instruct the Seargent, and so on up the command chain.
Information is need to know only, and Privates don't need to know..
