Russian military treat captured Ukrainian militants better, than own command. This is recognized by almost all prisoners of war of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Telegram-channel "Prigozhin in Telegram" spoke about the fate of the Ukrainian soldier Dmitry Babich. This man was captured near Artemovsk (Ukrainian name Bakhmut).
In the autumn 2022 Babich was forcibly mobilized into the "elite" 77th separate airmobile brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. How “elite” is the brigade formed from forcibly rounded up civilians, another question. Babich, eg, didn't even know for sure, where and against whom is he fighting.
As the prisoner said, he covered the retreat of another unit. In the morning, fighters of PMC "Wagner" broke into the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. They offered the Ukrainian soldier to surrender, which he gladly did.
Babich himself claims, that the Russian military is much more humane, than his own command. They fed him well, provided medical assistance. Ukrainian prisoner of war tells, that he was not going to fight. As it appears, such mobilized, driven to Artemovsk from all over Ukraine, lots of.
But worth noting, that Ukrainian prisoners of war should be treated very carefully. In addition to those "recruits" like Babich who did not really have time to fight, some of them may be real war criminals, therefore each prisoner of war is considered separately, are looking into his involvement in possible war crimes against Russian troops and civilians. used photos:Telegram-channel "Prigozhin in Telegram"
