A Meeting on Opposite Sides: A Ukrainian Soldier Captures His Neighbor Mobilized into the Russian Army from Occupied Territory

A soldier with the call sign “Volt” defends Ukraine, while the man he is speaking to — a captured soldier of the enemy army — turns out to be from the same home

A video of the interrogation of the POW was published on the page of the 158th Separate Mechanized Brigade.

Recently, soldiers of the 158th Brigade in the Northern-Slobozhansk direction captured five Russian soldiers with a drone equipped with a loudspeaker.

But the story did not end there.

“It was a bit of a shock for me. I met my fellow countryman, a young guy”, — Volt said.

The prisoner turned out to be Vladimir Oleksandrovych Bashmakov, originally from Zaporizhzhia Oblast, Kamiansko-Dniprovskiy District, the village of Velyke Znamia, who had been mobilized into the 810th Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces.

According to him, after Russian forces invaded the country, an hour later they announced a curfew that forbade leaving homes; violators were caught, beaten, and thrown into a pit.

This is an example of what happens to people wherever Moscow arrives — what will happen if Ukrainian territories are surrendered: first and foremost, it means giving up people, who will then be sent to fight against us.
