Captured soldiers fear death by Russian firing squad

Russian troops captured by Ukrainian forces claim they’re “already considered dead” at home and fear they’ll face a firing squad if they’re sent back home.

Surrendering without a fight, that’s when you know a war has taken a MASSIVE toll on soldier’s morale because they just don’t want it fight for you anymore

Almost nothing more critical than winning the hearts and minds of the Russian soldiers.

Сначала, две трети людей в России были против военных действий на территории Украины. Как никак украинцы на своей земле. Но, потом весь народ России услышал вашу нацистскую риторику, увидел, что вы делаете с пленными и ранеными.
Вы очень сильно ошиблись сделав это.
Вы умудрились настроить против себя не менее 80% населения России.
Вы сами подтвердили русскому народу то, что сказал Путин, которому сначала не верили две трети россиян. Теперь, у русских ВС есть мотивация. Теперь это не война с Украиной, а спецоперация на Украине по уничтожению украинского нацизма и его носителей. И это уже не остановить.

Просто смех, какой же одекватный человек в это поверит? Даже натовцы боятся войны, а тут ВСУ такие успехи делают! Смех да и только!

"In the Soviet army, it takes more courage to retreat than advance." - Joseph Stalin. Seems like things never change...

A bad leader is first a threat to his own people and then to others. When a bad leader dwels in his false pride, his compassion dies and all his senses freezes and he deals with everyone with a mind blinding soldiers...they are always the ones who suffers..My heart goes out for all the soldiers who have to fight wars....

My heart is so filled with sadness for everyone over there. Russian and Ukraine. No one really wins. Families are destroyed on both sides. So very sad. Prayers to all.

I personally knew a young Russian guy who joined their army
He left UK years ago
He was a lovely bloke and I hope he hasn't changed
I wonder what has become of him

Jesus how cruel of a person do you have to be to the point where you told your son that you prepared a funeral in advance, it’s basically the equivalent of saying I don’t expect you to make it back alive. (Assuming that it actually happened).

[markroberts]

I just feel so bad for all the families torn apart from each other without any choice to say no, l don't think anyone who is in their right mind wants to go to a foreign land and possibly lay your life down for a cause that you really don't believe in, such a nightmare to be stuck in the middle of, sad indictment on the world right now and all because of GREED.

SAD SAD GOD GIVE HUMANS LOVE FEELINGS. MY HEART BLEEDS TO SEE ALL THIS

[HerShtirlic]

А что стало с теми тремя "оккупантами" на фото? Кто-то из вас - жители Европы знает? Украинские солдаты им прострелили ноги и потом убили! Ваши инструкторы этому обучали? Ждите русского война! Ждите! Мы придём и вы за всё ответите!
🇷🇺 🇷🇺 🇷🇺 🇷🇺 🇷🇺 🇷🇺 🇷🇺 🇷🇺
And what happened to those three "occupiers" in the photo? How many of you europeans know? Ukrainian soldiers shot them in the legs, and then killed them on video! Did your instructors teach this?
Wait for the Russian soldiers! We will come! You will answer for everything!

This is insane. I don’t even have the words for it

Similar to the Battle of Stalingrad during WWII... They shot their own comrades who try to retreat from the attacking Germans

[vpl]

It calms my heart to see that they're coming to their senses... that's the only way they can see who the real enemy is.

[genocrysis]

Something that I've already learned ex from this war is that it's hardly ever the leaders that suffer instead it's always the men and women they send into battle along with civilians. My heart goes out for the Ukrainians and the Russians standing for up for what's right.

[mikestallings]

If captured that's what their supposed to say, trust no one, especially your enemies. 🤦🏼‍♂️

[welsgmvlogs]

great soldier is so brave they're decisions not only for their own but for both sides. God bless
