"POPULATION OF UKRAINE 6 MILLION" | School drinking with classmates  

No backlash from me. He said he wanted to call home so that his mother didn’t have to worry, that was the most important thing to him, not “what are you doing to get me exchanged?” He’s clearly a boy who has been raised with love and hopefully now he can return home without hatred for Ukrainians blackening his heart.

Underneath Dmitry' gruff exterior beats a big Ukrainian heart. Great interview with just the right balance of candor. Showing both empathy and a serious side with a soldier little more than a boy. Meat for Putins grinder. "Come join the army" the posters cry out We'll teach you to shoot, to kill and to fight The pleasures are many, the dangers are few You'll have a good pension when your service is through

Excellent comment. I saw it just the same as you, and I appreciated that Dima was unusually gentle with him. It seems to me to be important to give the young ones a chance to experience Ukrainian humanity if there is to be any chance for a future of peaceful co-existence for both countries.

Same thoughts, thank you for posting ! I'm a hardened war watcher, this kid is one of the best interviews and most hopeful. Mom has done a good job, although she is classic ruzzian. Boy needed a dad, it's plain and simple for me. Wish him the best in a country we are going to do our level best to bring to it's military knees,. Every ruzzian for 2 generations will be paying for this war. I have 2 great sons a little older, their lives are the polar opposite. Slava Ukraine !!

It is very hard to grow up without role models, that's for sure. We aren't born who we become.

A kid who was ready to kill because he doesn't understand the difference between a military mortgage and a Life.

@@copleyhal doubt he was ready, probably would of froze up and backed out. Either that or he kept in his mind about video games 😅 but it seems like this experience shook up from not going to anymore wars. It’s good dima was being a father figure to him. Boys can be a hassle, understandablely they want to rebel, want to explore the world and venture out from home. The army gets them easily because at that age they see the uniform and weapons and tanks, they’re not mature either and they don’t really think for themselves or the consequences

@@Vendetta_s Did you see the video about ruzzian fake "Lego" toys, armed to the teeth, for under ten year olds?

@@copleyhal Fortunately the US troops of his age who went to Iraq and Afghanistan pro bono as "liberators" understood everything. Also they were there not to kill but to plant flowers. Give me a break.

Stupid comment

Nothing humble about a teenager destroying and killing your people and family. A weapon in the hands of a teenager still kills, doesnt turn into flowers , does it.

Teens join The Military, it’s always been that way. My Dad got drafted at 17. I took my test at 18. You Don’t go in at 40 lol

Also, Russians get better jobs when they have military experience. Military also pays them well

He will definitely get sent back to the Frontline after his exchange and next time he won't be so lucky I don't feel pity for these ORC'S if the die or not they may their bed and now they have to lay on it the more dead ORC'S the better sonner or later they gonna run out of military age men 110,000+ dead another 1.5 million left the country then they gonna have to start sending their woman to fight by that time the Russian is gonna collapse just like the USSR did SLAVA UKRAINE GLORY TO THE HEROES 🇺🇦🇺🇦💪💪

the kid is not 19, much younger. They never asked his birthdate just his age. They always ask the birthdate.

He is still a teenager or is 19 not a teenager anymore?

Witam serdecznie!

Hello we are Polish-American.

@@victoriastrickland8801 Miło mi😘. Życzę dobrego dnia 🇵🇱🤝🇺🇸.

Hello from the UK🇬🇧. 💙💛

That’s how the army gets them, easy to control and manipulate them. They don’t exactly think for themselves and the consequences. They are trying to learn the world still and venture out from home, do what they want, and when they see the military the uniforms, the tanks, the weapons! It’s a childhood dream come true when they would play toy soldiers and trucks. He’s also pretty respectful and doesn’t question anyone older than him, so he wouldn’t argue with any higher rank or those who bribed him in

It would be better for him just like every other POW, but Ukraine would rather take its own heroes back. POWs are a currency, no matter how cute they are. BTW, he may be lucky to be alive now, but he may not get home alive if he keeps giving the same answers after the exchange.

Такие мальчики пришли на чужую землю убивать, они разрушили наши дома, убили людей, изнасиловали женщин и забрали детей! Тысячи детей похитили в Россию и никто не знает их судьбы. Это очень страшное горе для детей и их семей. И всё это делают такие мальчики.

Yes and bless Dmitry, he treated him like a kid too...was like a wise uncle to him.

I do too he looked about 15 and drinking as a recreation, Lord help him. I don’t usually have much compassion for the orcs but he is too young to be in the military occupiers. Glad he got captured to be honest, and such a great interviewer you were tried to teach him. Not like the men who all say pretty much the same bs, they must have a book they give them, those I Never feel sorry for, they understand very well they were sent as cannon fodder, to kill Ukrainian people whether civilians or UA. Some are sick sub humans. They are not human when they torture and kill humans just for the sake of PUZZIn and his deranged mind. Glory to the Hero’s!!! 🇺🇦

They have similar haircuts too! 😂 if only Dima could, the boy never had a proper father. This is what he needed. I bet he’s going to miss Dima Oh and that school lesson at 18:33 was so cute. Dima didn’t yell or get mad at the mistakes and misinformed answers, he acted like a disappointed teacher 😂 the kid was all smiles for the mistakes and kept with eye contact. He was a bit awkward by it but was seeking approval and help and education

Если этот мальчик прийдёт к вам домой, вы пожалеете о том, что жалеете этого мальчика и думаете о нём хорошо.

@@undina5598 Будь человеком, не спеши судить

@@Vendetta_s Скажи это оркам.

He’s an adult.

Эти все хорошие мальчики пришли убивать на чужую землю, насиловать и грабить. Все они хорошие, пока не попадёт им в руки автомат и тогда они превращаются в орков. Если бы в ваш дом зашёл этот хороший мальчик, вы бы уже не думали, что он хороший. Вы бы увидели совсем другого мальчика, если бы успели увидеть.

Sweet and caring LOL But not towards the Ukranian mothers and children he might have made orphans and homeless . Think twice before you call these invaders sweet and innocent. I bet you wouldnt call him sweet if he was firing shells at your home.

@@samipan3410 Where did I say he was sweet and innocent? I said he was very sweet and caring towards his mother and the kid (possibly his younger sibling) that’s very different from what you wrote. Also, as I understood it, he actually didn’t commit any atrocities or kill anyone. I know I would not be as “benevolent” if it was my country that had been invaded and atrocities against my people had been committed, but since it’s not, I can perhaps be a bit more objective. Fact is that he was already in the military before this war as a conscript, and that he would have to go to war regardless of signing a contract or not, even wether he wanted to or not. I don’t know where you are from, but if you are in the military you are taught from day one to follow orders since that’s absolutely essential for a military to even function. And if you have lived your entire life in a society that does everything it can to prevent you from thinking independently, it’s probably hard to not follow those orders. Not everyone who joins the military are bad people, especially not in countries where mandatory military service is required. This young “man” just turned nineteen in November, and as a mother of a 24 yo, I can say that he truly is just a big kid. Our brains are not even fully developed before the age of 25. When you are subjected to the traumas this kind of brutal and bloody war causes, especially being inexperienced and not knowing/understanding what is awaiting you or why, when you feel that everyone hates you and even invisible enemies are trying to constantly kill you, and you have no support or protection from your own “brothers in arms” and superiors, when you feel that you can’t trust anyone and you are scared and stressed out 24/7, with adrenaline and cortisol flooding your body nonstop, it absolutely triggers a fight, flight or freeze response, and if you are prevented from flight, there’s only the option of fight or freeze left. If you are being directly attacked and want to survive, you fight. In such conditions you might very well end up doing things you would never have done otherwise, and regret later. Many soldiers know this and many veterans are not only haunted by what the have seen, but also what they themselves have done while in war. This doesn’t mean that I in any way support what Russian soldiers are doing in Ukraine or that I could ever have any understanding, sympathy nor forgiveness for those who knowingly commit atrocities, like rape, torture, executions etc. I think there’s something inherently wrong with those bastards, who are capable of such actions. Statistics say that about 10% of all people have sociopathic/psychopathic personality characteristics and it’s also known that these kind of people usually are attracted to positions where they get to have power/control over others and exercise unhindered dominance, so there are probably an even higher percentage in the army. But let’s be real, there’s a big difference between someone who is scared sh..less, in a life and death situation, and shoots to survive the day, even though they don’t want to be there at all, and someone who are safe in an occupied area and engage in despicable acts of rape, torture and cold blooded murder. You simply cannot say they are the same kind of person. When surrounded by evil you have to fight to remain human. To not be infected by the same evil that you find despicable in others, because if you do you have truly lost.

Dima likes the kid, more than likely seeing the boy as his own son. Kind but firm with the young, but stern and serious with the men😅I’ve noticed it. Kid also happy he finally has a ‘father figure’ a man he can talk too and laugh with

I don't know if she was pro or anti this war, but the fun is over when its your kids turn to go die. She was relieved beyond imagination that her son was alright and that she got to see and talk to him. She doesn't want Z, she doesn't want war, she wants her son.

I don't feel sorry for him. He was carrying a machine gun and would have surely used against Ukrainians. He was NOT taking flowers or chocolate, ok?

@@copleyhal Agreed! Finally someone without the naivity of the West. This kid is the dangerous kind; empty headed, carries a gun, knows nothing of anything. He'll do what someone else will tell him to do.

мальчик тот ещё глупый убийца

А мне нет!

More than likely sees the boy as his own son who doesn’t know any better really. Couldn’t blame the kid for not choosing jail, jail for him is,…. The same as the hazing he would’ve gotten but worse. He shouldn’t waste his life either in a jail for 10:years or more. Could be also curiosity as to what a war looks like and what it feels to be a soldier. Best choice he went and at least got some money. Even had a chance to talk to a man after not having a proper father figure growing up. Always noticed it with Ukrainians they treat the young kindly but firm and the older ones quite harshly I guess, man to man 😅😂

Yeah that cracked me up

Such a wholesome interview. Both laughing and smiling at each other. So nice of Dima for playing a fatherly role, the kid never had a proper dad growing up 😢 this is exactly what he needed. An older man willing to listen and talk to him with a gentle but firm voice, because mothers are lovely and more nurturing, but they can’t always put their foot down and such like what a father can do. They even have similar haircuts!😂😂

As I know, those who were already captured and will be caught again, they are killed when captured.

@Victory will be Ukrainian. Facts.

A good question, likely very true. The goal is slaughter at any cost, including the sacrifice of the most innocent.

Very good question! I would like to know this also.

There has been a few 2nd time caught. Younger guys too from what I've seen. Not this young though.

That’s how they get them, at that age they are easy to control with fear and manipulate. “Look! Cool guns, you can be a hero all dressed up in this nice uniform!” Including money which many Russians struggle with. His mother works at store, no father to help provide further. He wants his mother to be proud of him, and let’s be honest he wants to venture out at that age now. Being a electrician is good but he wants more exciting things to do! The army is perfect, at least what he’s told, then he got there and it’s all cleaning and training. Until he sent to war

I think the boy is ok. He’s all smiles and laughs, he didn’t see much (like gore or death) he was only stuck in a trench and starved by his lieutenant. I think he will be fine. He saw Dima as a father figure that he never got growing up and Dima was Nice enough to treat like a son almost. I watched many others were in traumatic situations, he’s the lucky one. But I’m sorry to hear about your friend, war is horrible Edit : like this kid ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0iL7O6d4s2A.html I think he was 18, but these Ukrainians were a bit too rough on him I’d admit. The tape was unnecessary around the eyes and hands, he isn’t going to do anything . But the boy was having a mini panic attack

But he wasn’t involved in any killings. Some of his people, yes, but not him and that guilt shouldn’t weigh on him. He was bound to be mobilised anyway, he had no choice,and jail is not a good option especially at his age. Disgusting they can be with clueless teens. He is just foolish really, young and dumb, brain doesn’t develop fully until 25 along with maturity. But he’s smart in a way he picked to go and not be in jail or forced. It seems he was hazed too, he just doesn’t want to admit, his demeanour lowered quickly and he looked away -- he tried to play the question off. He did admit being threatened however and you think at that size and age he can take on his 40yr old lieutenant? He also seems very well raised and respectful of older people, taught to listen and not disagree. I’m happy that Dima acted as a father, it’s what the boy needed he’s going to miss Dima, he was willing to learn about Ukraine and was all smiles and laughs compared to older men who are blank faced

It's the same in the usa

@@michalmichal1901 🙂👍

He wasn’t doing for Putin. He was conscripted in 2021 by time he was 18 and the army pays better than a regular job in Russia, plus military is always so tempting for kids his age. Tanks, cool guns from video games,can be all dressed up as a hero , plus other benefits I think it can help with college and housing. He knew the bad guy was Putin too. He went to avoid jail and being mobilised is worse treatment and less money. I feel he was likely hazed too, just couldn’t admit it. He’s also respectful of older people, except when it came to his lieutenant 😅, so probably also followed outta fear and the high ranks

From parts of the conversation I got the impression that he may have been reported to be a deserter and that they will do something to scare him. If that is so they after he is exchanged he may be held away from his family then be sent right into the front lines.

Yes they have gotten a POW captured, returned, and then captured for a 2nd time.

I have the same concern.

I had that thought, very high probability

I mean humans are animals….so, but even so animals don’t do what humans had done. This boy is also not an animal, just a kid trapped up by the army
