Captured Russian soldier tells of inhuman treatment in Russian army - SBU

The SBU press service broke the news via Telegram, Ukrinform reports.

"The captured Russian occupier tells about the atrocities in his army – officers kill their wounded soldiers, leave their dead on the battlefield, and never notify relatives," said the SBU.

The captured invader, among other things, says: “We were sent to death. They don't even take their KIAs! They finish their own wounded! A week has passed, and no one even received a death notification."

"This ‘soldier’ was more fortunate than others – he was taken prisoner in Ukraine. The invader weeps and asks his mother to apply to the Union of Mothers of Russia, hoping for a prisoner swap. The soldier also fears for the fate of his family, so he asks not them not to tell whole truth about the war in Ukraine, not to be targeted in persecution by the Russian special services," the ministry said.

As reported, on February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the launch of Ukraine invasion. Martial law was imposed. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky signed a decree on general mobilization.
