Held Captive from Birobidzhan: How an 18-Year-Old Russian Spoke About the Real Prices of War

According to glavcom.ua: A young occupier who arrived to participate in the war against Ukraine shared his experience in the army. He was only 18 years old when he was drafted into the construction. However, instead of promises of service at headquarters, he had to go to the combat zone.

The young occupier had to go through many trials, but he mentioned that he realized the real army fights not for ideals, but for money. And only thanks to the efforts of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was he able to survive and return home.

Currently, negotiations are being held in Ukraine with captured soldiers from North Korea, who are asking not to return home, but to be transferred to South Korea due to psychological issues. This indicates the complex nature of the military actions in the eastern part of the country.
