AFU POW speaks about his service and care of his commanders

AFU POW speaks about his service and ‘care’ of his commanders ‘They threw me into a minibus like a kitten,’ says Pyotr Shcherbaty, an AFU serviceman, about mobilisation ‘like they do it in Ukraine’. – ‘They mobilise everyone, they don’t even ask for their surnames. One guy was badly beaten and kept in the basement’. The prisoner of war complains that there was no medical examination at the enlistment office and he was sent to the troops in the evening. Pyotr Shcherbaty assures that he did not undergo any training, he was only given an opportunity to fire a couple of rounds. Then Shcherbaty was taken to the front line, where were treated as ‘disposable’. Faced with supply problems, Ukrainian servicemen even had to steal food from local residents. At positions in the forest, Shcherbaty’s group stumbled upon the Russian units and surrendered. The serviceman says he does not want to go back. He is sure that it is better to stay in captivity. The POW urges Ukrainians not to join the army to avoid mobilisation at all costs. Russian Defence Ministry Источник: MoD Russia
