'If Anyone Leaves the Trench - Death Penalty.' Russian POW Confession
Vložit
- čas přidán 29. 04. 2023
- DISCLAIMER: the POW gave his clear consent for filming and publishing this footage. POWs are protected by the Geneva Convention and treated accordingly in Ukraine.
Oleg was drafted in Russia to the war against Ukraine under the fear of a prison term. Either go to war - or to prison. If someone left the trenches - death penalty would be executed. Oleg appeals to other men in Russia that could be drafted and mobilized: 'Don't go to this war, you would die in a stupid way,' the POW said.

7 months pregnant wife...a most lucky soldier indeed. Keep this recording for your child, so he understands one day.
I hope they remain untouched
Wow, man, that is really sad.
I would think the Russians would retaliate against his family at home for doing this.
WELL DONE UKRAINE 🇺🇦 🇬🇧
Born in 1995.. This guy is UNDER 30?!
Ouch Hard life, I take it?
Looks like born 1965....
@Brian Waas Sure, I get that.. though some conflicts are worse than others in this regard. But for the Ukraine war.. how long was this guy even serving in battle? Seems like a very large fraction of Russian soldiers have only been deployed to combat units for a few months at most..
@@drlegendre Maybe static trench warfare with artillery ringing your ears every few hours adds extra stress.
@@vegas1a Hey! Born before 1965 here. I look as bad as that guy, though probably younger. He at least he will live to return to his life, such as it may be.
Trust me, if youve been out in the field for any length of time in those conditions youd look just like that. I have pictures of me with platoons, squads, and teams and a lot of the guys in those pictures, including me, are almost unrecognizable. Some of the pictures look like bunches of heavily armed very dirty pirates with modern weapons. I was on a two week long range patrol once in 45+ degrees celsius and we all lost about 10kgs. Some lost more. We had to hook our pants onto our webbing just to keep our pants up. And we didnt wash at all so we were filthy. When w got back in we looked liked we'd just escaped from a very bad prison camp.
🇺🇸🇺🇸YOU ARE SO BRAVE & SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT THEY’RE USING YOU! BRAVO - GOD IS WITH YOU🙏
The only sensible option for ALL Russian soldiers fighting in Ukraine, is to surrender to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Glory to Ukraine!
I think the whole point to this video is you get shot if you leave the trench. So I'm not quite sure how you would surrender. The only sensible option is for all conscripts to refuse to go. There is no case recorded of anyone being tried or going to jail for this. Only the threat of it. If press gangs force them to go to Ukraine, Then yes, do fade into the confusion as best you can & try to surrender.
I hope that Russian men conscripted to go to fight in Ukraine, will eventually develop the courage to refuse to go - but if they don't, their ONLY chance of survival, once they are in Ukraine, is to quietly surrender, when the opportunity arises. Glory to Ukraine!
@@hardtackbeans9790 I don't think they have the manpower to run their gulags if they sent conscientious objectors there. They already have a massive shortage of workers.
@@carolinematusevich889 I don't think they would even try.
@@hardtackbeans9790do you really think Russia is going to let that information get about how many are in prison for not going. They want to make it look like these guys are patriots n wanna go fight. Slava Ukraine🇺🇸🇺🇦
Brave man he took a chance he must have been desperate to not die .watching from Scotland peace and love to all
I would probably rephrase that to peace and freedom for all. ❤
@@alexiskiri9693l will do thank you. I should change it all that is not invading
Best Pee he ever had I bet! Good on you soldier. I pray you return safely to your wife and unborn child and live a happy life together!
What will happen to him if he gets exchanged and returns to Russia?
Will he be punished for defection with a prison term or sent back to the trenches?
I don’t think there is any escape for Russian men if summoned.
Either go to war with a chance to die or 100% chance to go to jail for 10 years (afaik).
Make your decision
Better to die than to kill inocent people godbless Ukraine the whole world is praying for the peace of your country and some other country also👏👏👏👏👏💛💛💛🙏🙏🙏
According to your comment...If he killed a single Ukrainian soldier it means he toked someone's life by force, if that's the case he toked some mother's son some wife's husband and some child's father, and he will be punished for that in hell, and if my comment is right then he doesn't even deserve to see his own child same as the one he killed won't be able ever to see his Mother, wife or child!
If he didn't kill anyone then he did the right decision and god bless him, but if he did kill a single soldier then the decision that he made doesn't matter and someone's life has been taken and some family has been griefed and punishment will come.
@@oskarsoskars3365 bruh war has always been about killing one another
@@inse001that's their problem. "I don't get involved with politics". See how easy it is. Now it's not my responsibility is it😉👍. Im not involved with ruski politics.

Pathetic 😂

Slava Ukraine
Good luck young man.better out of it.
Man wants to live!
This is what happens when you have a dictator in control of the country
yes, CCP is the same. They are showing their true colors more and more

@@apsmith1635 , As is a former president and his parties Congress people who calls the other party Nazis .
Hope this man is looked after. Great decision from the Russian. Slava Ukraine.
Thank you for this informative video.
Life in Russia is harsh. I know very well because i lived there for 10 years. After Ukraininan counter offensive i decided to left Russia. 1 day before the mobilization, i crossed the Finland border back to Brazil. Today i see i made the right decision. There is no good future in Russia.
Oh, that is a happy story! I mean it! You got out just in time! And there are others like you! Just not many. Have a good life!
Glory to Ukraine. God bless all Ukrainians. From United States of America
Lol they are racist as hell did you know that?
the irony
PPPPPPP!!@@whoswho826
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 ♥️
Born 1995 Lol this man looks way older than me and is supposed to be 11 years younger than me 🤯...
Its BS..
@@halon7476 Why exactly ??
Looks 28 to me I was born in 93. You might have a condition or something if you look really young. Lack of testosterone and hgh
are you from Eastern Asia by chance? 😅
i look younger than him too
Well done young man as long as you have not committed any war crimes am sure the Ukrainian government will support you..

Salut ukarainan soldiers greetings from Philippines
I feel really sorry for this guy. He should be with his family.
You should feel sorry for the ones in those trenches instead
@@weirderdolphin9902I feel sorry for a planet called earth.
I hope his family is still alive. Russia has a habit of killing families of people that they disagree with.
Poor Russians sucked into Putins madness. Slava Ukraini Heroiam Slava ✌️ 🤘 🇦🇺 🇺🇦
Wars don’t happen because of delusional and psychopate leaders give orders, but because of normal people following those orders without asking any questions…. So no poor Russians, every single Russian is to blame for this misery!
That is one smart Russian! Slava Ukraini! 🇨🇿 🇺🇦 🇦🇺
I'm fearful what would happen to him if he returns to Russia.
Probably gulag
swiming with the fishes now @@Doomguy9OOO
The Soldiers of the Terrorist State of Russia Must Quickly Surrender Peacefully and Properly if they value their health and lives. Ukraine and its Allies is reasonable and humane enough to protect their safety and right if they just quickly surrender peacefully. Ukraine deserves Great Respect and Quick Victory.
Smart guy to get out of there, even though, arguably, he shouldn't have gone to begin with. Keep up your courage, relentlessness and cautiousness Ukraine. Stay strong and resilient - you will prevail!!! 🇺🇦💙💛🇺🇦
If he hadn't, he would have signed his own death warrant. Sadly he had no choice. The thing is more people Ukraine catch and are treated in a humane way by the west the more will rebel and the more will try and work against Vladimir Putin
God bless you bro ..
So sad… I pray for you! ❤
What a cool dude! 👍👍👍
That crazy war is simply unwinnable for Russia. 🇺🇦🇪🇺🇺🇸💪
This Russian soldier said it as it is. He did made the right choice and surrender, hope he will get a better live out of Russia.
War is hell, hell is war. No one’s happy fighting in war.
He is only 27 but looks 45. Should he go back to Russia? He might end up again on the battlefield or dead in his own country. He better stay outside Russia.
Lucky guy indeed, you can see real joy on his face.
Absolutely incredible.
He's never going to see his wife or child in the foreseeable future.
Many of the other POW tell the same thing. At least this one did the right thing. He may have a way out to go & live somewhere else. The Ukrainians will have to check him out of course. But assuming he did nothing wrong & his story checks out, he may get a citizenship in another country. And his wife will get to join him.
According to your comment...If he killed a single Ukrainian soldier it means he toked someone's life by force, if that's the case he toked some mother's son some wife's husband and some child's father, and he will be punished for that in hell, and if my comment is right then he doesn't even deserve to see his own child same as the one he killed won't be able ever to see his Mother, wife or child!

@@oskarsoskars3365 Ummm. I don't think he toked anything . . . Okay, sorry. I know what you mean. There is a difference between murder & warfare in the Bible. I think it is better to speak legalistically rather than biblically. Someone at war killing someone, does not commit a crime. Even if they fight on the wrong side of the moral issue. Technically shorty putin hasn't declared a war, which make the russians technically (check me on this) marauders.
Realistically we all know it is a war. Fighting a war isn't a crime. A nation can be guilty of creating a war under false pretext which russia has done. But the individual soldier isn't. There is the matter of war crimes which russia has committed by the truck load & many 'average' russian are guilty of.
If you want to discuss the religious aspect, you need to be careful. Someone knowledgeable can rip into your argument pretty quick if you haven't thought it through.
@@hardtackbeans9790 yeah I understand what you are saying.
I HOPE that *EVERY single russian* listens to this thrice a day for the next 3000 years...…!!!
they will NOT. they dont have access to the free western part of the internet (and youtube). Anyhow, even with access they wouldnt believe. They are as brainwashed an North Korea. Also Belarus is brainwashed. They believe West is going to attack them and that we freeze and have food shortages here.
I believe him.. really sad
I nearly choked on my Salt n Vinegar square crisps when he said 1995, surely thats a tippex on the birth certificate shot?
I don't think it's right to use these soldiers in this way.
I feel for these victims of Russia .
I don't. I feel for the Ukrainian people who suffer the invaders, women, children, normal peace loving people, faced with a prehistoric moron of a dictator. Russian people need to stand up and get rid of the krusty Kremlin and it's orcs, string up Putin like Mussolini. 🇺🇦🇬🇧🇺🇸
Don't “You” feel anything towards us ukrainians‽‽
@@markiyanhapyak349 pretty sure he does chilllllll I feel for both
Russian Propaganda within Russia must be strong that Putin can continue to force Russians to die for his pointless war of aggression against Ukraine.
Hopefully Ukraine wins soon and Russia falls apart. The world will be a better place once Russia collapses and breaks apart into many smaller countries. I have little hope for that but I hope that those smaller countries can then turn into respectable and civilised democracies
Propaganda yes, but people are forced to the war, no options
if you get a draft letter (you can get it electronically), then you can't leave russia so its pretty much an inevitable death
They already lack morale so its certainly not the propaganda.
Only the little russian kids believe the propaganda and think that ukraine is nazi.
One of the few, who openly admits he is in the wrong place and does not want to fight. I nearly feel sorry for him, he should be allowed to return home. Will he, after this open speech which is not flattering? Glory to Ukraine. We all stand with you. 💙💛
They had them read the script of „Enemy at the Gates“ 😂
My God Bless You ❤❤❤❤❤✝🕎✝❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a shame
Slava Ukraini! 🇨🇿 🇺🇦 🇦🇺
Hopefully he will see is baby and families so sad I got kids myself without their dad is nothing lost of from Scotland 🏴
Forced draftees. 😢
I wonder if, when they do the prison exchange, he'll be sent to prison for making this video. Most likely. Stay strong UA. Glory to Ukraine!!
Luckily they send prisoners to the front, so maybe he can escape again? 😂
Terrible
You have nothing to lose by leaving the trench you can die in the trench or die for going back to Russia. Or live by stoping this fighting and surrendere to ukraine and live together in piece.
You have your life to lose you don’t know if you’ll be shot by your own people or u won’t know if you’ll find some good Ukraine people or Ukraine people filled with hate who will just kill him being scared clouds your judgement this dude was probably force to fight
Problem is they would probably shoot them on the way out and before they reach the Ukrainians
He understands now.
So sad
Everyone stop being so soulless towards these people. They never wanted any part of these crimes. We need to stop acting like russians, we are better than all this hatred.
@@jujuwisala6008 That's why we are arming the UA people. That's what judges and juries are for if they get captured alive. Lowering ourselves to russian standards is not how we should live our lives.
BS. Stop being a cowardly apologist fool.
As an outsider, that's always easy to say. If a Russian killed someone in my family, I'd probably spend the rest of my days killing everyone I could get my hands on. The same applies to prisoners of war. I don't give anyone a second chance to kill me after a prisoner swap. Sad but true. Once the limit is crossed, there is no more room for reason. War is not defined, which already shows that it is played without rules. You shouldn't let it get that far in the first place.
Hear, hear, hear !!!!
Yes and no. If you are saying that we use discernment, while still being empathetic, yes. If you mean that we start behaving all naive again with our cognitive dissonance helmets on, then no.
They don't tell you because they don't know why they're there either
💙💛
Slava i peremoha Ukrayini!!! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
I always want the AFU to overtake the enemy but I also know many of these occupiers have mothers, brothers, and children and it is unpleasant to see so much death on those that have no reason to fight, know not why they fight, and would not fight if given the chance. Nevertheless, those that sign up for a few thousand rubles have no excuses.
Better off in prison.
God bless you lad
Feel bad for this lad
Mission Implausible
Mommys boy or Zelenskys boy.... War is terrifying, no one ever said it wouldnt be.
Italy is here, first russian soldier i see that understood with his brain that they are dying for nothing, there is not point to fight for a land that is not yours
It can’t be all that bad.
Poor guy 😂😂😂, just now understand everything 😂😂😂
Sorte Ukraine
A wiser man than most in that mess.
They all look so much older than their age
They drink alcohol at early , , see some street interview in Russia by Thier bloggers they are older at Thier ages
This soldier made the right decision in Ukraine. He understands now. Time for him to go back and change Russia. 🇺🇸🇺🇦
Invaders always didn’t end up good, why would you invade someone, this war is absolutely horrible and unnecessary
Both sides have fear and anxiety that’s how it is. He abandoned his post of course would be shot.
"Sir, do we really need to kill soldiers leaving the trenches?"
"No, but I really enjoy saying "So, you have chosen death."" 🤣
Great translation by Henry Keen. The best.
Slava Ukraine rom a Canadian.
Lease let him go home to his family 🙏🏻
😎💙💛💙💛✌✌✌💯💯💯💯👍
Sometimes you feel huge amounts of relief when you pee
😢❤
dang
If this is true and not govt propaganda, I feel for these men. The rulers of countries are using us as sacrifice in a more literal sense than we all know
Good man hope he told his comrades the same
Ruzzia has already lost a war it could never win. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦👍🇦🇺
It seems that every Russian soldier that gets taken prisoner, is saying the same thing?
This is the first russian pow ive seen that looks like he was beaten pretty badly
i sincerely hope he does not get traded. he made a good move, but he was still lucky he didn't get caught or die. it's such a horrible thing what russia is doing to everyone.
To be awinner ,you must not go there in the first place!
They have lost so many beautiful people for no reason than greed it's like he has been taken over like a madman
Is it possible that after 15 months of war the Russian people have not realised what is happening to their loved ones and do nothing ? It's about time they wake from their 25 years of slavery !!
Poor guy, I know he is Russian but it's sad. Born 95 and looking like 75. Hope this guy gets to be with his wife and child
Imagine if everyone in Russia chose prison instead of going to war, war will be over, because Putin doesn't want to go and fight either.
Then prisoners get recruited and used as cannon fodder. Easy and fun.
Well, if the invaders just lower their heads and let them treat them like cannon fodder, what can Ukraine do?
I can only wish I get to live in this war. I have already killed too many. only 15. My only wish is to see my mother again.
Can you hold him until the war is over? He’s just going to be sent back into combat. He doesn’t want to do it.
Brave man! God will surely bless you and your family. If you and your family stay close to the Lord Jesus, you will have a life filled with happiness, prosperity and peace. God bless you.
The dubbing is much faster than the Russian soldier is speaking.
It's not a live, real-time translation. An on-air reporter is reading a 3rd party translation that was prepared sometime earlier.
Please don't send these guys back unless they want to go back, when these videos get out they might be retaliated against.

Could a country take in these refugees and then when their own country is safe I'm sure they will return.
