My heart aches for all Ukrainians, but also the Russian soldiers who are all part of this mess whether they want to or not. Good to see they are captive and no longer a threat, but I do hope everyone is being well taken care of in captivity. This sucks for everyone involved

@@EDUCATIONGUY-l4e The people who are showing support for Ukraine now are largely the same as those who protested against conflict in the Middle East, and showed solidarity for Palestine. Just because we show support for Ukraine is its hour of need doesn’t mean we don’t also support other countries and wish for peace around the world.
This young man is a real 'Hero', because as soon as he realised what was going on he had the moral guts, to stop and be a real human being. Well done that man.
@@mowgo9879 Too late, there is no reward for this guy. His face is plastard on every corner of Russia and Ukraine as a traitor, there is no home for him now after the war. This is why the Geneva convention made the use of POW as show piece for a war illegal.
What commander ‘tricks’ his men into a shooting war? Imagine what that does for morale; you know you are seen by your superiors as useless meat, cannon fodder, a wall of human flesh and blood.
Welcome to russian military "protocol." They surrender, because their officers will kill them if they see any hint of hesitation in carrying out illegal, immoral orders.
@@james.telfer Supposedly 3 Russian generals have been killed... the Ukrainians take the credit, but who knows what actually happened in the midst of battle.
How they let one small ugly narcissistic mad man destroy the Russian reputation and kill their sons, brothers and friends. It take just one courageous person to get rid of this one mad man. Whoever gets him whether they die in the process will become a world hero. I lived through several coups in my country Nigeria in my youth. One Russian needs to step up to do what needs to be done. As for those enablers, they too with not get away with it. Just as every dictator and empire they will fail. Trump tried to copy Putin and failed, thanks to a democratic people and those Republicans that changed their votes when they realised he was unfit to continue to lead their great nation. Capitol riots happened due to Trump pushing his supporters to do the unheard of in US, they wanted to damage democracy and they failed. The great people of Ukraine are doing their best to defend the same democratic rights. Unfortunately the world is watching the full murder and genocide in modern day as social media is everywhere now not like before in Germany when Hitler did what he did. Now instead of intervention to help they world is just watching the terrible deaths of babies, children, women and men and animals. How our government do nothing is beyond me. After occupying Iran and Afghanistan when they didn't ask for help. Now those asking for help are not being helped. All this when we are still still in pandemic......it's just wickedness on Putin's part. Russians living in Russia would also suffer the impact. They are lucky the Ukrainians are not sending missiles to them in retaliation and only defending but shooting only at those going into their land and shooting at the military jets and tanks. If Russians were being murdered in their homes maybe they would be more sympathetic to the Ukrainians.
Ukraine has to make it well known to Russian soldiers that they will be treated honorably if they surrender. A lot of them want to and should be encouraged. That they will get good food, shelter, medical help and calls home to their families in Russia to let them know they are OK and that the Ukrainians are good. The surrender and good treatment of Russian prisoners is an excellent means to help end this war.
I take it you have not seen the interviews by Patrick Lancaster of Russian soldiers before they invaded He is talking utter rubbish probably been made to say this by Ukraine. I watched the Russian soldiers blatantly telling Mr Lancaster they knew where they were going and for what purpose whilst sat ontop of a running tank !
After the "Winter War" in Finland, Stalin was furious. He'd expected an easy win. Returning soldiers, many shot, masses more sent to Siberian work camps. Really Putin? Can't you find a better model than Stalin?
@@veramae4098 Propaganda. During stalin era. The law was given. In reality. Not many were shot. If you studied the war. You knew. The real genocide. Was in Gulag or mass execution of civilians.
Im not going to be suprised if some russian soldiers will defect with this kind of treatment , lets face it , if you want your soldiers to fight hard , at least dont treat them like garbage 😕😳😑
America is like "Leave no Man Behind", Putin is like "Lie to them, conscript them, take their cell phones, order them to attack civilians, and then shoot them if they surrender"...
Have faith in JESUS CHRIST as LORD and SAVIOR for HE SAVES from hell❗️ *What is the Gospel?* The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Romans 10:9 9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. JESUS CHRIST can come anytime! Just Believe ❤️ Love you and GOD BLESS
It is a disaster for Europe including Russia, Russia is part of Europe. The Russian heritage in literature, music and science is immense for Europe. The big winner of all this mess will be China, but not Europe or the United States.
As sad as this is to see; it’s encouraging. It’s encouraging to see a fairly significant numbers of Russian soldiers realizing what’s going on and refusing to take action against the Ukrainians. Did I hear him say that 600 Russian Marines refused to get off the ship at Odessa? Because they realized what they were being sent to do? THAT…is encouraging. This tells me that most of the Russian people are inherently good and, when faced with the truth of what Putin is doing, are willing to admit it…
"600 Russian Marines refused to get off the ship at Odessa" Watch it again.... watch his eyes. He's reading a script. I missed it the first time. Cant say what that means but...

@@johntambascio3971 not quite as delusional as invading a peaceful neighbour, populated by their close cousins. Unfortunately Putin's police state cannot allow a prosperous democracy on his doorstep. Russians might start wondering why they are governed by corrupt gangsters, who siphoned off for years, money reserved for their military.
Incredible that one man can cause all this suffering on both sides. Hopefully the Russian people will eventually have the strength to put an end to this horrendous War instigated by Putin. Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦
Soon enough soldiers will return home & tell of the injustice they carried out in Putins/Hitlers name & this could be the real catalyst for the people to rise & overthrow this despot dictator.
@stephenseanmclaren NATO did not invade Ukraine, Putin has a choice of diplomacy or war, he chose war. Putin upgraded his nuclear weapons in Kaliningrad recently provoking Europe and its allies, you need to see both sides of the story before condemning one side.
It's not the Russian people that will end this war, it is Putin alone! Unless the Russian public decides to revolt & get rid of Putin, that will be the only way this war ends, because we all know Putin isn't going to do it.
@stephenseanmclaren You know what that person meant, STOP trying to twist the narrative here! Put the blame where it belongs, on Putin!! He's to blame for this and no one else, all of it. 🤔
It is sad to realize that there are few people in Europe and around the world who can think with their heads. Not just watching TV from which margarine is poured into your head, but thinking where margarine is where the truth is. Although what else can you expect from countries that live on the money of the "empire of lies", which is the United States. And for them, you can not let disabled people go to the Olympics, you can bypass all prohibitions to do chemical and bacteriological weapons, you can pour into the ears of children with an unformed psyche that sex change is good. As we say - "Pee in the eyes of all the dew of God", the groups that govern the United States do not have any principles and norms of morality, for all double standards. Only in my memory they destroyed Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Yugoslavia, Syria. And how many more warriors have they unleashed? Who among you remembers? How many victims from their carpet bombing in Vietnam, in Korea. And in South and Latin America, how much blood they shed. So if to the essence of my statement. I and most people born in the USSR do not need any propaganda. I have two grandfathers and one grandmother who fought in World War II, my wife had both grandfathers who fought in World War II. 99% of my generation had someone who fought in World War II. One of my grandfathers after the war, even before 1946, finished off the Benderites in western Ukraine, my other grandfather was in captivity, in a concentration camp, where the guards were also Benderites, so they told me about what atrocities these same Benderites committed. The "ss" were harmless boys compared to them. And who are Hitler, Goebels and the SS, I hope there is no need to remind anyone. And now, when the junta seized power in my brotherly Ukraine, which began to destroy the monuments of our grandfathers and praise Bender and Hitler, I don't need any propaganda. I remember what my grandfathers told me. And I feel very sorry for my brotherly Ukrainian people. This was all done by the "empire of lies of the USA", after the end of the Second World War they began to hide not only German, Japanese, but other war criminals, including Bender. Almost the entire Golichin division fled to the "empire of lies of the USA" and Canada, and fed by the State Department lived and waited for the opportunity to return back. And to our great regret, we gave them this opportunity. When the USSR collapsed, the governments of fraternal peoples began to divide everything and swear, and that's when all this Nazi scum got out and like a cancerous tumor began to infiltrate their heads. Someone was able to cope with this, but Ukrainians were unlucky. The "empire of lies of the USA" was able to bring its marginals to power in Kiev. And now the "empire of lies of the USA" lies to the whole world, who shot down a passenger plane, who burned people alive in the Odessa trade unions, who fired at civilians in the Donbass for 8 years, who attacked the Zaporozhye NPP, who built laboratories on the territory of Ukraine to develop bacteriological weapons. And how many more lies have been made up in this empire. But they have only one proof - this is the expression "it is very likely that Russia did it," and we have documents. And a new Nuremberg trial will take place, where war criminals will be tried, because "no matter how much the string does not curl, there will still be an end." PS. It is impossible to convince us, we remember our ancestors, in difficult times Russians (by this word I mean all nationalities living in the Russian Federation, including Ukrainians) only unite in the face of an external threat. Our grandfathers and great-grandfathers were in Berlin twice, we were in Paris and if necessary we will not disgrace their memory and we will leave our inscriptions on the White House as well as on the Reichstag.
The same story keeps repeating itself throughput the captured Russian soldiers. If they are going to lie to their own troops who realise what's happening I can understand why so many are refusing to fight and laying down their arms. I hope these boys are being treated humanely as they are just as much victims as th Ukrainians
once they understand Ukrainians are not Nazis and will treat them well (unless the face the Azov battalion, but its very existence is a consequence of the military occupation of Ukraine by the Russian Federation)
These poor men are lucky to surrender to Ukraine and those Marines were probably shot and tossed over the side. No dissidents or mutineers left as witnesses.
I was hoping theses guys would realize what Putin was doing with them and so glad that they are spreading the word to their Service Men's What's so sad is that they were put in this situation in the first place Just shows how sick Putin is Nothing would surprise me at this point Just hope someone gets to Putin as so he doesn't use the nucular I'm sure this is a Hell of a BLOW to his EGO
'Execution echelons' if true, is evidence of extreme dysfunction, no professional army engages in this kind of brutality to its own soldiers. Any besieged Ukrainian city should set out speakers and offer the Russians 50,000 Yankee greenbacks and a new life in the West.
Just like the movie "Enemy at the Gates." Every other soldier gets a rifle, and every soldier gets only 5 rounds of ammo...but plenty of ammo for the heavy machine gun behind them, which "political officers" used on their own troops when they saw anything but the backs of those troops. Driven like cattle...
I really wish the Russian soldiers found away to strategically turn around and join the Ukrainian brothers to fight against Putin. No matter the cost. Like the saying goes “I would rather die standing than to live on my knees” The many Russians who figured out Putin’s deceptive plans, they were literally fleeing Russia
There's a big gap between realizing that your country lied to you and deciding to turn around and kill your own people. There really haven't been many Russians fleeing Putin's Russia because of Putin. The rich ones are getting richer off his rule, the middle class are able to pay the bills, and the peasants generally accept the propaganda and don't know there's anything wrong with the country or they don't have the money to leave if they wanted to.
I thought about this but then the Russian saboteurs would use this as a deceptive advantage to get behind Ukrainian lines and slaughter Ukrainian military personnel.
@@Abyssmouse - Absolutely. That's a standard thing anytime you have one country that's better off than another. I've had a long interest in trying to understand the Soviet Union, then the Russian Federation, and now the USSRussia. It started from expecting to see a missile with a red star on its nose dropping out of the clouds at any time. One thing I've found interesting for the last few years is a group of Russian "activists" called StopXam. They block cars from driving on sidewalks and give people lectures on social responsibility. It's hilarious stuff. Thing is, over the last few years they've started to insult people on their country of origin or ethnicity, and it's gotten to where virtually any driver they encounter who doesn't look purebred Russian becomes the target of slurs and stereotyping to the exclusion of any supposed message. It seems that they find this so natural and accepted that they don't bother to edit their videos to make themselves look better. They're like fitter, smarter, versions of Trump voters. This has to be the result of Putin's blatantly Russian nationalist and slavic supremacist United Russia party. The steady drip of attitude programming and spread of party dogma as common wisdom is working. If the smart young Russians have fallen for it, I'm not holding out hope for a third Russian revolution any time soon.
@@hamletksquid2702 Makes me realise how 'UN-widely' read I am - this growth of Putin/Kremlin's Russian nationalist/Slavic supremacism party has missed me. don't get me wrong - those 6mnthly promo videos of Putin out in the Russian frontiers on horse back, chest bare say ONE HELL of a lot, but I completely missed this nationalist groups coupled with his Slavic (... theres nothing wrong with any races I have typed in here as a FACT ...) Nationalist Party growth. Tells me I'm not viewing the right media/platforms.
@@julieh4288 - I grew up surrounded by veterans of WWII and Korea, and some were the type who would explain things to a boy instead of brushing him off like a pet. I was explicitly told more than once that I better pay attention, because I might not have that long to learn what I needed to know. I had books and souvenirs passed along, and awareness of fascism and its roots and methods was something everyone was just aware of. My whole generation grew up like that. Maybe me a little more than most. I wore out my first copy of The Rise and Fall of The Third Reich before I was twenty. We've forgotten the direct visceral experience of war. Our children grew up in times when wars were short and victorious and there was no real doubt about the outcome. We haven't seen a modern country embark on a war of conquest and virtual genocide in more than seventy five years. Modern countries don't do that anymore. United Russia is the Make Russia Great Again Party, but smarter. Putin is the goal-driven organized psychopath, Trump is the anger-driven impulsive psychopath. That's the main difference. I'm not using "psychopath" as an insult, btw. It's a technical term.
This is somewhat conjecture of what happened, but I believe they did not disembark. pretty suicidal to form a beachhead like that though- even the lower level commanders wouldn't like to have all their men killed, its an instant demotion.
Ukrainians who spared the Russian soldier: You sure u wanna keep up with this game Putin? Because clearly the common Russian folk who want to go about with their own lives aren't having it !
Now that I am well passed my early 20’s, war has become even more tragic to me, these young men have so much potential, so much they can give to their nations and the world. Instead these young men are being destroyed and their potential wasted. Hitler tried to invade the ussr to take their grain and oil located in ukraine, as a result inflation spiked in germany, exports dropped, and he would have been better off trading with the ussr. Peace begets commerce, commerce begets a better quality of life. Throw away peace and you throw away quality of life.
The whole Russia army should surrender, they all know it’s wrong they would be sending a message to Putin it’s wrong and they don’t want to participate 💙💛🇺🇦🕊🕯💔🙏🕊🕯
The whole russia army must surrender? Do you know what that means? Is like America armies surrender to iraqi forces. It totally unacceptable what russia is doing in Ukraine. But for its soldiers to surrender to a small country like Ukraine which doesn't even have the military might like russia is like Ukraine and Nato win the war and Nato will expand more. Knowing that Russians are afraid. I think the best way to settle this problem is by dialogue. Ukraine and Russia should sit together and try to rectify their differences without involving Nato. Ukrainians and Russians are like brothers and sisters. Don't allow foreign forces to divide you, because at the end only Ukrainians and Russians are going to suffer.
Other interviews with Russian prisoners show that they were treated kindly by their captors --given food and drink their own army withheld and were treated in hospital when needed. They were given phones to use to call home to families to let them know they are okay and that Ukraine does not deserve the vicious treatment it is getting from Putin and his upper eschelon military personnel. To a man they said they felt like cannon fodder for Putin's war.
Putin will answer for this very bitterly. To think he would put his own countrymen in such lies, and not allowing freedom of leaving the mission of invading another country. This just shows he is too cold hearted for the good of people of Russia.
Unfortunately, the % of protesters & citizens who have figured out truth is relatively small. With Putin having cut off newspapers, TV + a lot of the Internet, millions believe he is fighting a just “operation” to protect them.
“If” this is true it’s a good sign for the present and future state of mankind. It could indicate we are ready to say no to war. I feel for anyone around the world caught in a battle for their lives or freedoms.
@@redinabloogs8477Regretfully, you are probably more right than most Americans want to believe. Putin has nuclear, chemical, and cyber warfare capabilities that can end life for millions of us.

Its very sad that the Russian soldiers most of them are being cheated by theirauthority to come into Ukrainian territory under the pretext of peace keeping mission yet they were sent to commit murder and other criminal activities to the innocent people of Ukraine,
Young Gen Z people (between 14 and 27) were not born to fight, unless for a humanitarian and just cause. They will fight to protect lives and values, but fighting is not their first choice. They have wisdom beyond their years, with huge value to offer the world. They are the generation that could end War, if the older generations allow them to live long enough.
It's not about age, it is about the system. Have someone in full control of much power and they will get corrupted by it to gain more. A young boy with his 500€ drip outfit and 5 apple devices won't change that.
They are actually a different generation, en masse. It’s a brain thing. They were geniuses as little kids. I’ll have a book out about it later in the year. It’s caused by changes in the ionosphere of the Earth. They’re not the same as Gen Y, and certainly different from my Generation (Baby Boomers).
@@Eugene_Sucks No need to be rude if you don’t understand something. Maybe check in with the global Economists and Political advisers. Their dates for these generational changes are close to the actual effects, sometimes only out by a year. There are quite a few books out there, describing these various generations. Without this process, human evolution and society would be stagnant. Try “Generation Y” by Peter Sheahan; and “Generation Z: A Century in the Making” by Corey Seemiller & Meghan Grace (their research was spot-on with the start of that generation). Etc. Unfortunately, two generations have been officially lumped together as Gen X, and they are distinct - one of them created the Internet, using precise and minimal code, while the next one (the real Gen X) made the Internet beautiful, introduced colour, imagery, design, graphics. I’m old enough now to have experienced all these changes. I’m from the Baby Boomers generation. We were a much more narcissistic generation of people (advancing Capitalism for our own sakes), and we did wreck the world. (Apologies 🤭). But we made the best music-no doubt there!
That's amazing. Could that be any the column was held up so long? Could that be why 3 generals went to the front, very unusual, and are now dead? Because large numbers of soldiers are rebelling? Can you imagine going to the country next door, being fed lies, then seeing with your own eyes you're being told to commit mass murder on innocent people?!?
Well, a few days ago I saw a tweet on LiveUAmap in which a ship was close to the shore of Odessa. They did nothing and instead went back, probably full throttle when looking at that massive black cloud that was coming out of the exhaust. I won't be surprised if he's referring to that ship.
They where gonna make landing at Odessa a few days ago and Ukraine had prepared to defend and from what I read Ukraine had tried to contact families of thesae soldiers and the soldeirs them selfs to tell them about whats really happening and thats how they all decided to riot against this invasion, ofc, how accurate this is I dont know but been following events on Twitter like a hawk for 2 weeks xD
War is cruel, and it is something that every individual does not want to experience personally, but if this war is your own choice, then you cannot blame the initiator of the war, because before Russia launched this war, countless Over the years, under your master's plan, you have launched a devastating war against the Russia as well as the whole world and all human being, 20 over bioweapon labs with corona viruses found in the labs is horrible, it proves to the whole world that the current covid19 virus was spread to Wuhan China by ARMerica in Oct. 2019 during the world military game is a real fact and so far it killed about 5 millions people in the world. The Ukrainians themselves chose this war because the government you support is under the control of the American master. The American government is launching all kinds of provocations, confrontations and wars against the world all the time, all the time thinking about how to turn its imaginary enemy ruthless. Kill and let it disappear from the world, especially for Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, etc. Ukrainians leave their own destiny under the control of the US government, do not want to control their own destiny in their own hands, and do things that endanger the security of other countries for a long time, that's fine, since you don't want to control your own destiny, now the Russians have come to help you control your destiny. Although it is cruel to say this, I have to say that this war was completely brought by you Ukrainians, you deserved it, this is the outcome of the provocation, how this war will end, is also in your own hands, but obviously the Ukrainian government is still dreaming of being able to defeat Russia with its super stupid ideas, vulnerable strength and support from other countries, Completely ignoring your own strength, position, right and wrong, reasonable and unreasonable, humanized and dehumanized, the security of the country and the people, etc., is a wrong path to the end, the poor Ukrainian government and people, You really brought this war on your own, and you deserve death and destruction, Putin is doing something good to the world and human being, full support to Putin. In the far east, there is a small island that belongs to China but is currently self-governing, the administrators of Taiwan, who, like you Ukrainians, are under the control of the American masters, ignorantly doing everything they can to provoke the Chinese Communist government. It is stupid to think that the United States---the common enemy of mankind, can give you all the protection, without considering your own abilities and all the favors, kindness and tolerance that China Communist Party has given to you, who are of the same origin and the same language, but the ignorance on Taiwan Island The person is so lucky, because the Chinese Communist Party will not eliminate all kinds of provocations from the ignorant island in a Russian-like war, but I absolutely hope that the Chinese government will bring the ignorant island people into its own management as soon as possible, and reduce the number of conflict, harassment from the USA--United States of ARMerica.

This has been standard operating procedure for the Russian army since the 1917 revolution. The Chinese use the same technique during the Korean war and lost 400,000 men, including the son of the Great Helmsman, Chairman Mao.
@@jennyd5728 There was an interesting story in the Wall Street Journal about how the Russian army operates since it was formed under Ivan IV. In every war they have entered, they have always had difficulties with complex operations, logistics, command and control, and above all, corruption.
@@jennyd5728 Not all of them have surrendered. A number are hiding out in the forests, keeping a sharp eye out for the echelons. I am not to sure the echelons what to pursue the matter to closely, as I am sure these solders remain armed, and are fully aware of the purpose of echelon troops.
Brave Soldier- you made the right choice. Everyone deserves freedom including those living in Russia under extreme dictator rule.. Help your sisters and brothers in Ukraine. Be brave!
In the West, media outlets are claiming that Russia’s agenda to “denazify” Ukraine is unfounded. At the same time, public opinion in Western countries is totally alienated from the Ukrainian reality, tending to believe only what is reported by the hegemonic media. The result of this is strong disapproval of the Russian attitude based on the lie that there is no trace of Nazism in contemporary Ukraine. In this sense, it is urgent that quality information be disseminated to the Western audience to avoid the proliferation of lies about the Ukrainian reality. On almost every TV channel and newspaper in the West, Ukrainian Nazism is questioned with the worst possible arguments: Zelensky is Jewish, and the Ukrainian state is democratic. This kind of superficial thinking prevents a detailed analysis of the catastrophic situation in Kiev since the Maidan, when, through a coup d’état, an anti-Russian junta took power and institutionalized a racist and anti-Russian ideology, which remains until the current days. When we talk about “Ukrainian Nazism” we are not saying that Kiev is a contemporary copy of Hitler’s Berlin, but that the neo-Nazi element is a fundamental point of post-2014 Ukraine. The Maidan coup was openly supported and financed by NATO as a way of undermining any Russian influence in Moscow’s own strategic environment. The aim was to make Ukraine a puppet state, commanded from Washington, ending any link with Russia. There was not only the objective to annihilate political, economic, and diplomatic relations between Kiev and Moscow, but also to eliminate cultural, ethnic, religious, and linguistic ties between both nations. Since then, anti-Russian plans have been implemented. Ethnic Russians have been persecuted for the past eight years-even through systematic extermination in some regions. The Russian language has been criminalized in entire cities where the population does not speak Ukrainian. Schisms in the Orthodox Church have been supported to form a Ukrainian “national church” out of the Moscow Patriarchate. But the question remains: how has this been possible if Ukrainians and Russians are such close peoples? Many Ukrainians speak Russian and marry ethnic Russians, in addition to the fact that most of the country’s population follows the Orthodox Church. So how was it possible to initiate such a successful racist policy? This was certainly one of the biggest concerns of the Maidan planners. And the answer lies in the Nazi element, which was very well worked out by Arsen Avakov, Minister of the Interior during the Poroshenko government. Avakov initiated a process of instrumentalizing neo-Nazi militias that had supported Maidan, making these extremist groups key points in the defense of the new Ukrainian regime. In the West, due to collective ignorance about Slavic history, many people think that Nazi racism was restricted to Jews, but in fact, anti-Russian hatred was one of the biggest locomotives of WWII, having led Hitler to the irrational decision to invade and try to annex the USSR. This sentiment is alive in these neo-Nazi militias, who are literally ready to do anything to annihilate the Russians, being much more fanatical in their racist convictions than the Ukrainian armed forces. Groups such as the Azov Battalion, C14 and the armed militias of rightist parties such as Pravyy sektor and Svoboda operate freely in Ukraine and are most responsible for the extermination of ethnic Russians in the Donbass. These groups act with more violence and using more sophisticated equipment than the Ukrainian armed forces themselves, being the real face of Kiev’s anti-Russian brutality. As neo-Nazis, these militias have no obstacles in complying with the government’s objective of destroying any ties between Russians and Ukrainians, thus being the main allies of the Maidan era. In a 2020 Freedom House’s report, “A new Eurasian far right rising”, it is said that the far right is one of the strongest and most influential elements in Ukrainian society today, being a sophisticated, highly professionalized, and visible political force. In other words, what would be violent and criminal urban groups elsewhere on the planet have been converted by Kiev into a pro-Maidan parallel armed force. The inspiration for this model of action comes from the original Nazism: the Schutzstaffel (SS) was one of the largest German armed political forces during the 1930s and 1940s, but the group was not part of the German Armed Forces, but a paramilitary militia instrumentalized by the government apart from the official troops. There was a major strategic objective with this: while the German military was commanded by the government, the SS fought for the Nazi Party and for Hitler-that is, if Germany surrendered, the SS would declare war on the German military. This type of “double-shielded” military system is the same one that Kiev has implemented: if one day a pro-Russian government is elected, the neo-Nazi militias will declare war on Kiev-and will be strong enough to defeat the official troops in the same way as the SS was stronger than the German armed forces. It is necessary to note that these groups operate not only in the sphere of military force, but also in the cultural field, fomenting anti-Russian hatred among ordinary Ukrainians. The exaltation of Stepan Bandera (Ukrainian anti-Soviet nationalist leader who collaborated with Nazi Germany) is one of the symptoms of this. Before the Maidan, Bandera was a name like any other in Ukrainian history, but he came to be remembered and venerated as a national hero by neo-Nazis and anti-Russian politicians. In the same sense, these groups vandalize parishes and monasteries of the Russian Orthodox Church and are responsible for the consolidation of a Ukrainian mentality entirely hostile to Russia, which is gradually permeating the local population. Ukraine is in fact ruled by a Jew and the country’s power structure is indeed publicly “democratic”, despite being internally authoritarian and corrupt. But the Nazi element is not in these aspects, but in the structure of protection of the post-Maidan Ukrainian state, which is supported by a national coalition of neo-Nazi militias whose objective is simply to persecute and kill Russians, regardless of who is in power in Kiev. It does not matter to these militias if the President of the Republic is a Jew-what matters is that Russians are dying, which favors both neo-Nazis and the pro-NATO politicians they protect. In other words, the Western media’s arguments to deny Putin’s claims about Ukrainian Nazism are weak and superficial. Moscow is right in its concern to denazify Ukraine. It is a measure that should be taken in coalition by several countries. All over the world, Nazism is “condemned”, but only when it benefits the West. The closest political experience to Nazism in the present days has been seen and peacefully tolerated by liberal governments that claim to be defenders of human rights and democracy. Russia is simply no longer willing to put up with crimes being committed by neo-Nazis against its people and there is nothing wrong with that decision. Reports published by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) have shown the Azov Battalion to have committed war crimes such as mass looting, unlawful detention, and torture. An OHCHR report from March 2016 stated that the organization had "collected detailed information about the conduct of hostilities by Ukrainian armed forces and the Azov regiment in and around Shyrokyne (31km east of Mariupol), from the summer of 2014 to date. Mass looting of civilian homes was documented, as well as targeting of civilian areas between September 2014 and February 2015." Another OHCHR report documented an instance of rape and torture, writing: "A man with a mental disability was subject to cruel treatment, rape and other forms of sexual violence by 8 to 10 members of the 'Azov' and 'Donbas' (another Ukrainian battalion) battalions in August-September 2014. The victim's health subsequently deteriorated and he was hospitalized in a psychiatric hospital." A report from January 2015 stated that a Donetsk Republic supporter was detained and tortured with electricity and waterboarding, which resulted in his confessing to spying for pro-Russian militants.

Sad being mislead whole live no freedom to express your opinion now also completely isolated in order of most inhuman dictators, like this guy and all Russians who are against the war respect 🙌🏼🇷🇺
It really is brave of them to do this when they do. When they surrender its possibly a death sentence and or punishment for their families. The moral choice they are making is not without weight. Its powerful to see this happening. I hope the compassion continues.
@@ctibpo991 If the Soldier isn't being coerced to say the things he is, and we believe his viewpoint - this is not humiliating for him. He seems humiliated that he was tricked by beta dictator Putin into this war and committing such atrocities.
How can any invader expect to have controlled for long period of time using these tactics ? Putin has lost any hope of .Ukrainian people e tolerating him and now we see how his own troops are treated . I just hope that the Russians hear some truth about this murderous insanity.
As the old saying goes, "You can take the kid out of the KGB but you can't take the KGB out of the kid.", so are we really surprised at Putin's actions?
If anyone doubts this soldier's words about rear "echelons", watch the movie "Enemy at the Gates." That may seem like hollywood, but, in reality, officers and commisars did shoot their own soldiers if they fell back under intense enemy fire.
I read the book 'The long walk' by Slavomir Rawicz. This became the basis of the movie 'The long way back'. Seven men led by a Polish cavalry officer escaped from a Siberian labour camp. Their choice was 600 miles to Kamchatka or 2,000 miles to India. They chose to go to India. Shortly after escaping, they encountered someone who they ran down and overpowered who they were about to kill to prevent discovery, only the woman's screaming and crying saved her life. She would later die in the Gobi desert from a snake bite. Four men reached a British army outpost in India a year later. I read this book at school in the 1960's.
No military will ask you if you want to go, if orders come down you go. However, you should be briefed on your mission, your objectives, how and what your going to do to complete your objective. Obviously, at the very least leadership in the Russian Army is lacking at most they were lied to. Sad.
@@Anonymous-ld7je and no solider can be compelled to execute an illegal order, and nor is "I was obeying orders" a defence against war crimes. Soldiers have a legal right to question the validity of their order. My old man was a sailor in WWII, on a couple of occasions he was told to do something stupid by a superior...so he asked for the order in writing. Surprisingly enough the order was withdrawn! :)
It was a purposeful lack of communication. And these boys and men were basically drafted. Called from their homes with little info. They weren’t signed in the military, they were forced.
Yep, that's the Russian way, deserters will be shot. Not surprised at all. Long history of that. They take no prisoners either, unless a high ranking target, which they will use as hostage for propaganda. Once in awhile, prisoner interviews by Ukraine military, shows a little humanity, a little too late.🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦Slava Ukrainian!

How awful. This War must stop. I pray for the protection of all who have been drawn into this conflict, especially those who were lied to and the innocents.
They are being used as "cannon fodder", to use their own term. God be with those who chose to surrender and with those who helped civilians. No one wants to die on a firing line, so surrender is the only choice.
Well, I for one am ready to take to streets to fight the corrupt mis-conduct as soon as Ukraine expels Russia. Save the millions of lives in Ukraine first.
You really do have to feel sorry for many of these young Russian men who were duped by their own government and then forced into committing atrocities against civilians - those with a real soul and conscience will be likely haunted for the rest of their lives, smh.
This is so unfair on these young men. What a horrendous situation… all for a man who hides in a building and won’t see any of the fight … with mansions and castles and gold dinner sets … they were all fooled by Putin
I asked a few commentators here, what are the chances this is propaganda since it’s from Ukrainian government state news media? 0%, 1%, 20%, 50% or more? People here seem so sure they are not being propagandized.
As a child, I listened to many such stories from WWII veterans, who were still very many at the time, and they went to Saaremaa every year to commemorate the Battle of Tehumardi. It is remembered from their stories that during the Narva landing, for example. Estonian men who were forcibly mobilized from Estonia were sent to the forefront. and they were sent in five waves in a row; only the first row had rifles. and five bullets in a cassette. One of these old men said that he asked where his rifle was and when he would get it, and they replied that when the first one falls, you would take his rifle and run on and shout in a loud hurray. Most of the weapons in the front row were not working but broken. But they couldn't retreat either, because there were Russian soldiers and working weapons in the back rows, and they shot everyone in the back who didn't run straight ahead. It was genocide, not battles to defeat the enemy. The same rule works in today's war. Many do not want this war, and they have not gone there themselves, it would be no wonder how many of them were previously imprisoned anti-war Protestants and are now between the two fires. in front of them are people defending their homes and behind them are political assassins who shoot their backs when they are not attacking others.
this is the kind of video that gets millions of views, this is the information that many people should know as possible! that many Russians soldiers are just forced and threatened to do something they do not want to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is sad to realize that there are few people in Europe and around the world who can think with their heads. Not just watching TV from which margarine is poured into your head, but thinking where margarine is where the truth is. Although what else can you expect from countries that live on the money of the "empire of lies", which is the United States. And for them, you can not let disabled people go to the Olympics, you can bypass all prohibitions to do chemical and bacteriological weapons, you can pour into the ears of children with an unformed psyche that sex change is good. As we say - "Pee in the eyes of all the dew of God", the groups that govern the United States do not have any principles and norms of morality, for all double standards. Only in my memory they destroyed Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Yugoslavia, Syria. And how many more warriors have they unleashed? Who among you remembers? How many victims from their carpet bombing in Vietnam, in Korea. And in South and Latin America, how much blood they shed. So if to the essence of my statement. I and most people born in the USSR do not need any propaganda. I have two grandfathers and one grandmother who fought in World War II, my wife had both grandfathers who fought in World War II. 99% of my generation had someone who fought in World War II. One of my grandfathers after the war, even before 1946, finished off the Benderites in western Ukraine, my other grandfather was in captivity, in a concentration camp, where the guards were also Benderites, so they told me about what atrocities these same Benderites committed. The "ss" were harmless boys compared to them. And who are Hitler, Goebels and the SS, I hope there is no need to remind anyone. And now, when the junta seized power in my brotherly Ukraine, which began to destroy the monuments of our grandfathers and praise Bender and Hitler, I don't need any propaganda. I remember what my grandfathers told me. And I feel very sorry for my brotherly Ukrainian people. This was all done by the "empire of lies of the USA", after the end of the Second World War they began to hide not only German, Japanese, but other war criminals, including Bender. Almost the entire Golichin division fled to the "empire of lies of the USA" and Canada, and fed by the State Department lived and waited for the opportunity to return back. And to our great regret, we gave them this opportunity. When the USSR collapsed, the governments of fraternal peoples began to divide everything and swear, and that's when all this Nazi scum got out and like a cancerous tumor began to infiltrate their heads. Someone was able to cope with this, but Ukrainians were unlucky. The "empire of lies of the USA" was able to bring its marginals to power in Kiev. And now the "empire of lies of the USA" lies to the whole world, who shot down a passenger plane, who burned people alive in the Odessa trade unions, who fired at civilians in the Donbass for 8 years, who attacked the Zaporozhye NPP, who built laboratories on the territory of Ukraine to develop bacteriological weapons. And how many more lies have been made up in this empire. But they have only one proof - this is the expression "it is very likely that Russia did it," and we have documents. And a new Nuremberg trial will take place, where war criminals will be tried, because "no matter how much the string does not curl, there will still be an end." PS. It is impossible to convince us, we remember our ancestors, in difficult times Russians (by this word I mean all nationalities living in the Russian Federation, including Ukrainians) only unite in the face of an external threat. Our grandfathers and great-grandfathers were in Berlin twice, we were in Paris and if necessary we will not disgrace their memory and we will leave our inscriptions on the White House as well as on the Reichstag.
It was the same in Finland during the winter war. Many Russian troops gave up because they were hungry and poorly led. While many perished, there was a case where some were allowed to stay. Local farmers gave them food and a roof over their heads in return for them to work on the farms, where they helped doing chores and undid some of the damage caused. However, sometime after the war, they were ordered to return home. Since they all knew that they would be either executed or imprisoned for the rest of their lives, they all chose to hang themselves in the barn.
That is sad. I say let them stay to clean up the destruction and help rebuild the city. The labor will be needed. But any who were known to shoot at civilians, or if they "knew" they were bombing residences, schools, and hospitals, they must be held accountable for their actions, if it can be proven.
@@floretta65 My mother told it to me, who had heard it from her grandmother, who was a young girl at a farm when it happened. The Russians used to sing as they worked, so she would wake up to them singing during a busy day. The day after they found out they had to leave Finland and return, it was completely quiet. She was the one who found them.
"If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one Drying in the colour of the evening sun Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away But something in our minds will always stay Perhaps this final act was meant To clinch a lifetime's argument That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could For all those born beneath an angry star Lest we forget how fragile we are..." 'Fragile' - Sting
Russian civilians in Ukraine are also being gunned down by their own countrymen simply for the fact they live there, people in the USA don't realize this. Lt Col Vindman has some excellent suggestions for Ukraine that can truly help, his heartfelt interview is on PBS channel "Amanpour & Company" here at YT, it's exactly what's missing as far as Ukraine's needs vs what they are receiving from other countries, and he's a proud Ukrainian.
That's a good suggestion one of the commenters made. Put out loud speakers in the Ukrainian city's saying to the Russian army - you have been lied to by your government.
I asked a few commentators here, what are the chances this is propaganda since it’s from Ukrainian government state news media? 0%, 1%, 20%, 50% or more? People here seem so sure they are not being propagandized.
They are lied to being told it's all fake news. Sound familiar. One driving aspect of phycopaths is a movement upwards in power without guilt of who gets killed along the way. All evidence poinfs this as a land grab, not a move toward having a neutral neighbor. Does NATO have designs on invading Russia? The takeover of Crimea and the other regions still ongoing war for Russian control tells us all we need to know about Putin's motives and desire for Ukraine control and absorbing it into Russia.
Yes, the very definition of sociopathic leader: Narcissistic people with no empathy, no guilt, no remorse. All they care about is the endless pursuit of more wealth and power. Unfortunately, such leaders are not restricted to Russia. We have some in the US as well, just not quite as blatant (yet).
@@MoiLiberty Sounds true to me. It's common knowledge that all the authorities in Moscow except of course for Putin and his small group of co conspirators were shocked when Putin told them he had decided to invade Ukraine. Also we have seen dozens of video of Russian vehichles abandoned. So spare me the Putin apologist BS, you sound like a Putin troll.
Geneva Convention relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War - *Article 3* 1. Persons taking no active part in the hostilities, including members of armed forces who have laid down their arms and those placed hors de combat by sickness, wounds, detention, or any other cause, shall in all circumstances be treated humanely, without any adverse distinction founded on race, colour, religion or faith, sex, birth or wealth, or any other similar criteria. To this end the following acts are and *shall remain prohibited at any time and in any place* whatsoever with respect to the above-mentioned persons: (a) Violence to life and person, in particular murder of all kinds, mutilation, cruel treatment and torture; (b Taking of hostages; (c) Outrages upon personal dignity, in particular, *humiliating and degrading treatment*
It's hard to say. They may have just asked for a statement and told him depending on what he says he will be sent to a good pow camp or a bad one. No beating him or threats of violence. But that alone is a powerful motivation if you are in his position.

@@janchovanec8624 Yes, it's sad. The Ukrainians were willing to welcome the Germans as liberators, but the Germans had been so brainwashed about their racial superiority to the Slavs that they were unwilling to play the heroic role the Ukrainians tried to assign them.

He is the same age as me. I could be sent to war against my will. Having not ever taken an animal's life (except a few fish when fishing) before, let alone a human life, I'd probably die being executed by my own people as I'd refuse to shoot the enemy on the front line. Luckily I'm not from Russia or Ukraine, but from Romania. Still, they talk about forcing everyone abroad to get back to the country and be trained in case we end up in the war aswell. Haha...😐
If it is true that 600 soldiers resisted disembarking then it must also be happening elsewhere. Or at the least, it would say that many of the soldiers are reluctant to enter the fight. I can't imagine this makes for a very effective fighting force. I think if you are going to risk your life and go into battle, possibly to lose everything, you have to believe you are doing it for a reason. You would think that the Russian soldiers, seeing the destruction and the anger of ordinary Ukrainians, must start to question the stories they are being told by the government. Patriotic propaganda only goes so far.
I find it hard to believe that him, being in the army, in the ground, would be aware of something happening in the sea, that surely would be suppressed and kept secret. Also trying a disembark all by itself without a siege would be stupid, although that is no argument anymore given the number of stupid things that they have begin mastering to a god level. Anyway I'd love it to be true, but I seriously doubt.
Another soldier said it’s difficult to fight people that a lot of them are related too Other then to fight a different foreign enemy They found it hard seeing what there doing and said the same no one really wanted to be there The morale of this army is on another level They were morally defeated before they even started
I'm glad they surrendered and are safe. Sounds cold and cruel turning on and killing your own soldiers like that. Russia is on every toxic place. Good people end up in horrible situations that test their conscience. This man has strength of character. Very brave. Slava Ukraine.
This young soldier did the right and decent thing. Now he has a chance, at least, of living at peace with himself in his heart -- that is, IF he is sincere.
What I find strange is that I have been in the military before, if we were told to invade an innocent relative country there would be allot of downing tools and stigma from the officers to the privates, there would be public outrage. Was most of the general public in Russia threatened by Ukraine? I'm so intrigued to see the motivre and morale with the russian military
The Russian population has been fed all sorts of propaganda about Ukraine before the war so they really believe their soldiers are acting on a just cause. The ones that have figured it out back in Russia are being arrested. Russia has gone full totalitarian.
Its well known that the russian military uses a fight for your homeland or get shot in the back way of forcing soldiers into the meat grinder. Look at ww2 their tactic for taking a machine gun nest is stack so many bodies in front of it that it can't kill anymore soldiers. They handed weapons to half their troops and ammo to the other half. One of the big reasons I believe they still use aks is they never are of short supply on the battle field. scavenging is their game plan when it comes to supplying the front line with ammo. pillaging is their game plan when it comes to food. The russian military treats their soldiers like dogs. With the threat of certain death vs maybe surviving these dudes have no choice or atleast they are brainwashed to believe.
