Russian soldier's ordeal: Captured after 4 days at front

This is the fate of Russian soldiers who arrive at the front without any preparation. One of the servicemen reached the front on 15th October. An inebriated man from Buryatia quickly ended up in an "elite" brigade. Ultimately, he became a prisoner of war. A video featuring his statements appeared online.

Vladimir Putin sends all willing individuals to the front. The Russian dictator treats his people like "cannon fodder," not considering that unprepared soldiers could quickly perish during battles with Ukrainian armed forces.

Some soldiers manage to avoid death. Many are taken captive. A soldier who arrived at the front from Buryatia has become a prisoner of war. It is an autonomous republic in Eastern Siberia, inhabited by a Mongolian minority.

The man barely spoke Russian and joined the army drunk. Nevertheless, after four days, commanders transferred him to the "elite 810th brigade." He signed a financially motivated contract on 15 October.

I was born in 1997. I am a Buryat. In Moscow, on 15th October, I signed a military contract. I underwent four days of training in Voronezh and ended up at the front in the Kursk region. I was drunk. I was assigned to the 810th brigade - says the detained man in the recording.

The prisoner of war points out that he was captured by Ukrainian forces less than a month after signing the contract with the Russian army. He says that training in Russia did not prepare him for combat. He explains that he was given a weapon with a magazine, and his superiors ordered him to go. He believes that the Russians lied to him during army recruitment.

The detained prisoner must hope to be part of a prisoner exchange between Ukraine and Russia. Practically, only in this way can he have a chance to return home.
