In the combat zone, Ukrainian airborne troops captured and interrogated a Russian convict who had signed a contract with the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

The Air Assault Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine published the video on January 20.

The Russian army continues to replenish its ranks by all possible means. One of the most effective is the mobilization of prisoners.

Poor training and “meat assaults” are the only things awaiting a convict who chooses to sign a contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense. One such individual was captured by Ukrainian paratroopers.

“We were wounded — even half a liter of water was not dropped to us. For three months, nothing at all was dropped. I drank rainwater; the guys melted snow.

They wrapped tape around our eyes, completely covering them, taped our hands behind our backs, gave us a TM mine, and told us to move forward.

No matter what prison sentence you have, it’s better to serve it to the end and go back to your relatives and loved ones”, — the captive said.
