After a document check in the metro, a man had his passport and phone taken away and, instead of deportation from Russia, was sent to the army.

A video interview with captured soldier Nekruz Dodarbekov was published on March 18 on the channel of the 10th Army Corps.

In the Russian army, he faced humiliation, beatings, and ethnic discrimination. Soldiers without training are sent to the front, often without proper supplies or evacuation.

After an assault by Ukrainian forces, he surrendered and immediately assisted the Armed Forces of Ukraine with reconnaissance for the next assault.

According to him, the treatment by Ukrainian soldiers differs significantly from what he experienced in the Russian army.
