War instead of prison, alcohol for commanders, body armor bought with own money — captured occupier recounts service
Police forced him to sign a contract, commanders forced him to pay bribes, and then gave him one magazine of ammunition and sent him in one direction only.
A Russian prisoner of war spoke about these rules of the game in a video published by the 10th Corps on December 30.
“First, they take a bribe: a TV set and a printer. Then — one magazine and a ‘one-way route’.
The prisoner’s testimony about the inner workings of the Russian army: alcohol for commanders, ‘assaults’ from which no one returns, motorcycles, armor, and weapons bought with personal money, drones used not against the enemy but for ‘zeroing their own’.
He survived a night on a minefield. And captivity. He says the strongest shock was not from the war, but from the contrast between how his own side treated him and how Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers behaved”, — the 10th Corps said.
