The occupier Mykola Kozlov returned from captivity
Recently, one of the occupiers named Mykola Kozlov returned from captivity. He was exchanged on June 26 of this year, but his family was not notified about it and he was sent back to the front. Already a month after the exchange, on July 24, his sister, Olena, was informed that Mykola had gone missing. This information was disclosed by the project 'Our Way Out', reports 'Hlavkom'.
«After returning to Russia, my brother was even not given the opportunity to call me», – Olena said. While Mykola was in captivity, he could still communicate.
In the military unit, they claim that «There is no information». And the military enlistment office was surprised when Olena informed them that her brother had been exchanged: «This is unofficial information», – they told her, realizing that Mykola was one of those returned.
The occupier told Ukrainian soldiers about his motivation
Another occupier named Serhiy arrived from Russia to build a bath for the military. The news about this was spread by journalist Volodymyr Zolkin, who also noted that Russians who found themselves in captivity avoid communication out of fear.
Recently, a Russian occupier named Volodymyr from the Chelyabinsk region managed to end up in captivity with the Armed Forces of Ukraine twice in less than a year.
The captive occupier also told Ukrainian soldiers that he joined the conflict out of a desire to get married and obtain Russian citizenship. Journalist and blogger 'Apostle' Dmytro Karpenko conducted more than one and a half thousand interviews with captured Russians and said that the story of this occupier shocked him to the core.
Ukrainian fighters received interesting information about the motivations of the occupiers who end up in captivity. The appearance of Mykola Kozlov after the exchange and subsequent events testify to the complexity of relationships in the conflict zone in Donbas.
