Tolkachyov says that the way the Ukrainian military treated him in captivity changed his outlook. In this conversation, the prisoner also spoke about the terrible attitude of Russian commanders, how Russia cheats its soldiers with their salaries, and how it monitors the private conversations and correspondence of its military.

I am glad to see that Ukraine treat the soldiers with respect ✊
These people are the ambassadors to open Russian eyes in the future
Yeah that's fake news.
@@mitri5389 You go the front with 3 days training look how fake it is.
@@mitri5389 Russian Troll!
@@mitri5389 Hi Igor that is because you live in your propaganda cloud.
You will see like the Germans did after WW2 what Russia did.
And yes in the past year there are other examples. War is terrible.
But the Horror on the Russian side of this war is absolutely shocking, I have a lot of Russian and Ukraine friends and family. And I have no respect for Z fanatic’s they are sick.
@@mitri5389 Hello fake human
Just surrender Russian soldiers. This isn’t your war. It’s Putins vain attempt to inflate his ego even more ❤️🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦💪
unfortunatley its russias war and it has a lot of support ...its very easy say sorrowful tghings when your captured ....it would be a different story if hostomel and the decapitation of kyiv was successful trust me , that dude would now be manning a russian checkpoint not crying feeling sorry for himself ...you have to remember these guys came to murder and failed
i thought it was to resist NATO? im no putin supporter actually i support Ukraine but your comment is ignorant AF... Putin like many leaders are nationalists so yeah they get mad when the enemy encroaches on their territory!
Wise words Sir.. absolutely yes its all about a Fools ego...
It is the Ruzzians war! Every one that did let it happen is guilty to it! Recommend everyone that thinks it is putin's war to watch Inside Russia. Konstantin explains it perfectly!
@@terrylawrence8362 No it isn't. Don't fall for that! It isn't one man's work!
Best to surrender. 🇺🇦🌻🌻🌻
Do you expect them to turn back and apologize ?
@@gergelybalogh3005 Da.. Different Russian roulette...
Ukraine must maintain this humanitarian approach. It is difficult. The Russians have behaved like monsters. In the fight Ukraine must be firm. But this treatment of prisoners is a way to break the Russian fighting spirit. It is of course the civilised and proper approach.
Ukraine follow the Geneva Convention that states enemy prisoners should be treated well. Ukraine treats all Russian troops with respect. Ukraine troops who are responsible for collecting Russia troops who were killed are treated respectively. They are better being in Ukraine than a Russian prison
Opposite you are a nut bag. Like the elections in USA all a lie nobody voted for Biden I travelled the country not one Biden sign all Trump coast to coast
@@ellenfaulkner7616 US has the worst prisons in the World and people literally disappear in Ukraine you have no idea what you are talking about. Ukraine bombed civilians in the Donbas for 8 years because they wanted to be Russian citizens and Ukraine even outlawed the Russian language. But that’s not even the worst there is an active NAZI party in Ukraine and that’s what Russia has been begged to deal with for the last 8 years
Exactly, Ukrainians MUST show these Russians that they are better human beings than them
In Russia life is cheap unless you’re an oligarch, the whole regime runs on lies and terror.
Thank you for your good treatment of this soldier Ukraine! Brent Collins.
Smart to care for POWs incase the other side wins.
Hey Brent Collins!!! Brent Collins, from Houston!!
@@wadestanton that’s not the reason.
@@HungryGhost999 It is smart for that exact reason.
It is smart to treat pows humanely because it is the correct thing to do.
In the battle between good and evil we must never compromise our morality.
Teaching these prisoners what humanity is will educate the Russian people and expose their dictatorships evil.
These prisoners will return home someday and spread the truth to the Russians.
Glory to Ukraine!
“The poor go to war, to fight and die for the delights, riches, and superfluities of others.”

Exactly you are right , these soldiers are the poor , the needy and neglected and being sent to defend the rich of Putin regime and Oligarchs ❤and prayers from USA
I watched a channel about the rich Russians super-yachts and the costs involved.Russian people are getting screwed.
Live in depressed state, can’t get thoughts straight, takes opposition
Plutarch has a valid point BUT WW1 especially cut as massive a swathe through British aristocracy as any other section of our population.
@@jonjames7328 True as WWI took away a generation of men, but since then? The rich stay home...the poor go to war while the rich get richer.
this must be seriously head numbing for this guy. to learn that everything you have been told is a lie and your whole belief system and sense of self crumbles because of human kindness on capture is a massive thing to deal with . he was literally willing to die for putins russia and now his whole world is gone as he knew it . crazy shit
He worked in Ukraine in a mine that means he is Ukrainian and also a traitor.
Same bs in China I'm sure.
@@perkunast9680 How does that make him Ukrainian exactly?Just because one works in Ukraine does not make one Ukrainian nor traitor ,if he is a citizen of Russia.
Guy looks traumatized.
I wonder how he feels now about not being involved in his homeland's politics ...
Kindness is immunizing. It's not merely about taking the high road, being the bigger person. It's raw survival. Ukraine's national identity and well-being depend on it. ❤️🇺🇦
And the delivery of arms.

@@syntheticdawn4992 who cares
@@syntheticdawn4992 so, you don't understand what war is?
Russias very existence depends on it as well if you had not realized

Not much, punishments for mutiny are extremely severe
@@RunPJs Indeed, though a crazy tyrannical leader 'SHOULD' be taken out by their own people. It needs a person of pure conviction and lots and lots of WISDOM!

@@TonyG-iu4td Stop thinking it is only about putin! Because it isn't! Do you really think one man can decide what 140 million should do? It isn't working that way!
All of the assumptions this man had about how he would be treated by the AFU paint a very scary picture as to how the heroes of Ukraine are being treated when captured.
The Russian Federation must be designated a state sponsor of terror.
This!
He was raised in the Donbas region under Ukrainian control and influence, I expect he was free
to travel around Ukraine and know what was what. So he already understood that torture and
beheading were not the norm.
This alone puts the rest of his story under a degree of suspicion. Yes, he now has regrets, but he
only had those regrets after his world turned to sh*t.

Me too, but I'm worried about what comes after Putin is gone, good or bad. Hopefully the Russian people manage to find a worthy successor. Preferably a mother, if I may say so.
@@merkvandermeulen3978 ruSSia is lost, unless it will rip itself apart, until then it will never change
It will end when the Ukrainians recover all territory including Crimea AND recover all their deported civilians and stolen children (and POWs of course).

It takes great moral courage to be the adults in the room, treating invading soldiers much better than they might have treated you, were the situations reversed. It is this as much as anything that makes Ukraine a nation of heroes - they choose to be so much better than they might have. Slava Ukraine.
Great moral courage is committing war crimes by interviewing prisoners for propaganda? oke
@@BarryBarrington_ You know, he seemed kind of grateful to be out. I imagine Ukraine is fairly careful about who they interview, and how willing they are.
Unlike their opponents - who are not gentlemen on their best days.
@@stuartmunro2474 ..Yeah sure, as if they have a choice. They are in survival mode and know saying bad things about their capturers will make their life miserable. RUS or UKR doesn't matter, prisoners from both sides tell the same story, crawling for better treatment, and for selling a narrative..
Even the men in the torture camps of Srebrenica (1995) said they were treated well on camera while they were starving to death..
Only after a war, you can hear the true stories.
That's why it's forbidden in the geneva convention.
@@BarryBarrington_ Yeah ok - so show us the interviews with Russian UA POWs - because you know they don't care about any part of the convention. The honours are not even here - and your skepticism only comes across as ignorance of Russia - enlightened they ain't.
There is method in this policy toward prisoners. Thousands of Russians now know the truth about this war and their government. The seeds are being sown for a revolution in Moscow. Returning Russia soldiers from failed wars have a history of overthrowing the government.
This man will be traumatized for the rest of his life. A few leaders
are destroying the lives of millions of poor people.
Most of the men on both sides will be traumatized for life. Even after Ukraine wins for many of their defenders the war will never end. And the same is true for many of the civilians to one extent or another
Same old same old sadly
it's sad to see that man sitting there knowing he was wrong. he's a broken man
But he is not dead and have still a future.
@Tiny Driege
I was looking for this comment as that is the first thing I thought about him: he is broken.
He killed innocent civilians. I have no sympathy
@@ellenfaulkner7616 do you know what is the job of soldier? Also how do you know he personally killed civilians and not Ukraine's military personnel?
@@ellenfaulkner7616 - he said he never shot his gun.
It’s always the poor and vulnerable that get it the worst. Regular folks just want to work, raise a family and retire in peace after working a career.
The stories of misstreatment from so many of these broken guys are unimaginable. How can it be that so many Russian guys, across the board it seems, have been lied to and treated so inhumanelie by their own superiors 🥺 ? Despicable 😟.
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 You are showing the way ❤
Don't be so naive to the smoke and mirrors game you see
This guy is NOT Russian, he's a Russian-speaking Ukrainian from Donetsk who was drafted to fight his own countrymen.

I hope he will be fine and finally can live the way he wants from now on and never to return to Russia under 💩tin.
So do i
I almost did too. However, how many Ukranians has he killed? How many more would he have been happy to kill, if he hadn't been captured? He would turn in his own babushka, if it meant saving his own ass.
@@mrade5321 This!
And what if this gets known won't the stinking Russians kill his intire family ?
@@mrade5321 Welcome to war, this is not important of if he kill or not someone, the importance is that hes out. His reality will catch up. He learn that no one came when he ask for help to save one of his teammates, that he was at three years of his retirement and lost it, he got a wife and son and thought he was doing the right thing and probably lost everything including his beliefs. He will have to live this reality including the horror that he was part of.
This is a broken man. It seems as if he is actually a Ukrainian who was put into the meat grinder by Russia. I feel kind of sorry for him. Hope he gets some help.
He killed his neighbors.
He appears more concerned about not getting payed than he does about killing Ukranians. And if the tables were turned & he & fellow Russian soldiers had a Ukranian prisoner, would he treat that POW as he is being treated ?
after the war the leaders should be prosecuted and those that committed war crimes. Other than that there should be a general amnesty - it's the only possible way to move forward as a country and as a people. You brave Ukrainians have a bright future ahead in NATO and in the EU if you do this
@@LowPlainsDrifter60 I dont think thats an accurate summary - he was explaining what changed his mind and the questioning was down a certain track. The tears were, I think, an expression of how bad he felt about everything, not just his lack of pay.
No he is screwed, he cannot go home. He was raised in the Donbas region under Ukrainian control and influence, I expect he was free
to travel around Ukraine and know what was what. So he already understood that torture and
beheading were not the norm.

Being drafted by DPR is twice as bad as being Russian. They make you fight your own countrymen.

Handing him that tissue was a perfect act of humane treatment. It is that treatment that has made him cry in the first place and it isnt about being mistreated but about discovering everything he knew was a lie. Sad tears that are not bad tears.
Keep up your courage, relentlessness and cautiousness Ukraine. Stay strong and resilient - you will prevail!!! 🇺🇦💙💛🇺🇦
Ukraine is the most corrupt country in the World
The US has invaded dozens of countries Russia zero this is not an invasion it’s because the U.S. infiltrated the country and overthrew the government
Why would anyone continue to risk their lives for a government that treats them like animals?
I could hardly bear to watch such heartfelt sorrow.. May God bring an end to these Crimes Against Humanity..
Nothing fails more than God.
Please grow up
@@thebodykeepsthescore2828
It has nothing to do with "growing up." Each person is entitled to his own beliefs... or lack thereof.
Your opinion is only your own.. it doesn't reflect the world's ..
Thanks to the defenders for the humane treatment of the Ruzzian POWs.... they will take this with them after this is all over hopefully.
I hope more Russian people do see and accept the truth
💙💛💪💪💪
I really feel bad for this soldier. A couple of years from retirement and then it's all gone. And then sent to war as meat fodder. I Hope he finds peace and stability for his family and well-being.
Don't feel bad for him. He is from Donbass. He is a traitor to Ukraine! He did fight for the invaders even thou he did know the truth!
Ukraine has a special program, "Want to Live". Every Russian soldier can contact it and organize a safe surrender. Then being exchanged back home if they want or ask for asylum. So don't feel bad. He had all the chances to turn the situation another way. But he decided to fight against other Ukrainians.
his life is broken. If Ukraine does not win ruuski mir will come for us.
Man... This guy is broken.
Glad Ukraine provides them with psychological help.. Hope he gets to see his kids again soon.
Slava Ukaini.
You could see it in his face he was not only defeated physically he is defeated mortally. He has seen horrible things and he’s had enough.
His is the face of war
Very well said.
The mental health of theses poor soldiers is unbearable the pain in hes eyes
All that to not even get paid a dime
Life's lessons are hard. So his eyes are opened, by decent conduct from his supposed 'enemies'. Sad way to learn truth.
This is so damn sad not all russians are bad people. He was in a hard position😢😢
Like most people in the world. They'll get up, go to work, wonder whats for tea. Watch some TV go to bed. But 80 years of being told the west is trying to wipe them out and 3 generations later voila
He’s Ukrainian!!!
He was taken from the occupied territory if Luhansk & basically forced to fight!! They’ve also been brainwashing the occupied territories since 2014!! I’m sure he will ask not to be exchanged! Even Russia soldiers are refusing to be exchanged because they’re learning that after they return they’re being sent right back to the frontlines!! They’re put in hospital for 1-2 weeks not allowed to go home then sent back to the war!!
this man needs help, he is showing signs of shell shock
He won't get that help in Russia unfortunately..
Being fed is very important!!!
Being treated humanely...
Interviews like this need to be spread on all available channels and platforms to also reach the zombified russian people and bring them to revolt against their slaughters.
Its the oldest GD story in the world...the elite sit on their high horses and watch the rest of us get trampled into the ground...peace be with you all
Putin has a lot to answer for! Maybe he and his cronies should go to the front if they want the Donbass so badly? The war would be over immediately if that had to happen.
This is one of the saddest ones I have seen. That poor man in all of these all of these men will never be the same.
No he is not a poor man, he is from Donbass, so he is a traitor! He did know the truth of what was happening and still did fight for the wrong side!
Thoroughly gripping testimony from this guy. He made it. So many have not, and will not.
Putin and Lavrov to the Hague!
Don't forget the propagandists they too like putin are responsible for all the hate and lies told over and over to the people of Russia ! They don't get to see real news to make up their own minds that's the way putin likes it like the old saying goes in the land of the blind the man with one eye is the king.
This poor fellow is no different than me and you, caught up in something like being trapped in a hurricane and now his life is destroyed, home, family and all his hopes for the future. He is our brother.
How do you know he did not kill innocent civilians? He's in the army that actively targets civilians.
The legendary humor and mirth of Ukrainians. Modern day Spartans in the face of the same waves Xerxes sent countless centuries ago.
Russians are modern day Spartans - deceitful and corrupt backwater-hillbilly-anachronisms. Spartans lost Battle of Thermopylae and they also weren't alone there.
my heart goes out to many Russians who are being forced into a war by a government who doesn't care whether they live or die.
Don't feel sorry for them - they were all perfectly fine with Putin and his actions UNTIL they were conscripted.
They was not forced. Watch Inside Russia and you understand it!
He's actually Ukrainian fighting his own country because praise sir pooptin
@@mrzoinky5999 not so. many of the Russian dead are the "one's that never left ". poor no buddies. the one's who were been doing well, left.
Larry Primeau..
I tend to agree with you. The Russian people want their freedom as much as the Free World, I should think. However, they have no choice: many of these soldiers were "commanded" to join Putin's army.
When I think of tortured , murdered children or those deported to Russia , I am not impressed by the tears of this soldier . The Russian people have no reaction to the atrocities ordered by that monster and his regime ; it is an inhuman complicity . Slava Ukraine ! Peace and freedom forever !
True. Ruzzians are a particularly cold people. When traveling the world it’s a known thing.
When theres a war, theres always a monters, neither an ally or a foe. this is a war, hired as a soldier, they do their job to focus on conquering or defend, They aint medics they are soldiers, They always do the dirty work.
Be humble and kind you may be in this situation soon!
Not sure if he is being truthful but I’m glad he is being treated properly as a pow should be. War is a terrible thing. I hope this man and all pows return to some sort of normal life sooo e than latter.
Brutality and lies from the top and all the way down in Russia. People should revolt.

The meat grinder move is the only strategy in the kremlin's inhumane military for dummies playbook.

My heart goes out to these poor Russian conscripts , thank God for the humane Ukrainians . May God bless them . From South Africa .
This is a poor Ukrainian mobik, not conscript, drafted in Donbas and fighting on the side of the russians.
Vladimir Putin has to go and his cronies✌🇺🇸🇺🇦
@Mark Irrespective he was still fighting against the Ukrainians 😒😒😒
Doesn’t matter where his from. His human being who as usual like many wars in the past that con people into fighting wars by filling them with bs. No one wins wars. It’s devastating to all.

@@ernestalexander3205 even worse then!.He did know the truth and probably raped and murdered his neighbors.

as a human my heart goes out to this guy. i cant imaging how it would feel to be suppressed by a regime
Imagine your entire world collapses before your eyes, right before you reached you pension age, you lose your job and since you can't even feed your family anymore you decide the only way is dying in a war. It certainly was the wrong decision to make, but I think he's punished enough. After all, every one of us lives their life for the first time.
So sad. God help this man
I can't help but feel empathy for this bloke,, he's an empty vessel,,ex Para Pete 🏴🇺🇦
Even though he killed innocent Ukraine civilians. I have no sympathy
He's a broken man
That poor guy, all the Russian soldiers who were lied to and suffered so much because of that pompous dictator. Lord have mercy. I hope he is reunited with his family.
It’s so hard for all concerned 😢he just wants to survive
Those POW Russian people should be encouraged by Ukraine to join the legions against Russia. Give them a fare wage, train them and be with the legions 🤔
Rebellion is starting to feature more as Russian soldiers are getting even more disillusioned with their lot ,How do you know if a Russian is lieing? When they Open their Mouth
He is Ukrainian, from the Donbas. So he could join the Ukrainian army after being vetted. But he looks like he is in a lot of pain; he needs to recover his health.
They must be thoroughly and interviewing. They need to be vetted
Ukraine is bankrupt bahahahaha they have no money to pay anyone the US tax payers are flipping the bill gtfoh
The shock and pain this human being is in is inconceivable. I really hope the best for him.
How is it inconceivable? It's been happening since beginning of time.
@@handsomeman-pm9vy Maybe I used the wrong term. Yet, all processes in the Universe seem to be happening since the beginning of time, and a lot of these things are still inconceivable.
He is from Luhansk so he did know the truth and still did fight for the ruzzians!
@@karinjohansson7262 I don't think these guys have much choice.
Living Russian soldiers who’ve experienced Putin’s lies first hand could eventually go a long way to pushing for change in Russia.
Cannon Fodder is well known by all the Russians but they sit in the trenches anyway hoping the Ukrainians don't come to them. They are trained since childhood to only obey and not think.
The supine nature of most Russian people is sadly evident in the several vox pop CZcams channels. This is the result of centuries of 'strong' leaders and repression. Only a few question what's going on in Ukraine and have the courage to say so on camera, albeit usually in coded language. It will probably take a long time to change this character.
People so traumatized are usually changed forever. In addition to flashbacks, there is a permanent loss of joy and fun, an ever present vigilance, and feel overly protective of children. Some want to isolate; some want to hang only with their war buddies. Some poets call them 'the burnt children'. They can serve a very valuable social functions, as guardians for the society, social critics, champions for the down trodden, as fearless leaders of social movements, as checks on corruption.
After Putin is rotting in his grave there will be damaged people for years to come. Ukrainian and Russian as well. So sad. I hope Russia can fight of the crazy ruler’s that are in control now.
Those savages had a slave system for centuries,they are happy to be opressed as long as they terrorise others. Tyranny and brutality are as much in their cultural make up as drunkeness and thievery,
Perhaps he doesn’t want NATO imf world bank gain of function research labs so close to his boarders because he knows the imf world bank starts shit and now … They are puppets in a proxy war so the democrats can funnel money to themselves and big war machine and companies like Raytheon. Wake up. Your people are dying.
This man breaks my heart. I pray to all the Gods for him and his family. Thank you Ukraine.
Is simple: go back to Russia and pick up arms against the Kremlin demon
DO IT FOR YOUR CHILDREN'S FUTURE!
He is Ukrainian, from the Donbas. I bet once Ukraine recovers the Donbas, this guy will probably prefer to be Ukrainian.
@@laurie9557 Absolutely
If they go back they will be put in prison
@@ellenfaulkner7616 Now try incarcerating 300,000 Russian conscripts that refuse to participate. Putler's mafia would dissolve overnight.
Ukraine is definitely doing the right thing, treating their POWs with respect and dignity. It's hard to lose, even if you know you were in the wrong in the first place, but having your victors not grind you into the dirt, and instead treat you like a human being, that's absolutely huge.
It shows that Ukraine is ready to be a 1st world, western-bloc country, and I'd say they've deserved it for a long time. Even before this war.
I agree
@@BarryBarrington_ Yeah, I'm not taking any information from sympathisers to Russia. The good old Soviet tactic of a trigger-happy rear guard to keep people on the front line says more than enough about the russian war effort.
@@donron5380 .. Something to read from the UN site:
"The UN’s human rights monitoring mission in Ukraine interviewed 159 prisoners of war - or POWs - both men and women, held by Russia, and 175 male prisoners of war held by Ukraine"
"Summary executions
Russian POWs, held by Ukraine, told interviewers of summary executions and several cases of torture and ill-treatment, mostly when they were captured, first interrogated, or moved to transit camps and places of internment. In some cases, they said they were punched and kicked in the face and body after surrendering and when they were interrogated.
In several cases, Russian POWs said they were stabbed or given electric shocks with the ‘TAPik’ phone by Ukrainian law enforcement officers or military personnel guarding them."
In a war all sides do bad things.
I wonder if this video and others just like this are actually being seen in Russia?
We know.
No Russian people they never gone see bad news.
No many support Putin and are thrilled to see Russia killing innocent civilians
Propaganda in Russia is lies, deflecting and take no responsibility
Hell no

Someone please give this man a hug from me and tell him he is loved.

acting like the ukraine president

Do you really believe Russia troops get mental health support
Damn man, when did you serve?
I thought it said in the disclaimer that their faces have been hidden for safety?
He signed an agreement
These are human beings like you and me. My heart went out to him and feel so bad that these happens to these people. I am an Air Force retiree and so as my wife. I joined so I can help with Vietnamese Nam because the U.S was loosing. I want to sacrifice my life for my country and proud of it. But I watched his interview, I was so sad.
The poor fighting for some rich guy's war. History doesn't change.
Communism will never change . History repeating itself .

Most go for the money and paid if they get paid at all to kill people. Fact
That man broke my heart. He looks utterly defeated. If this is how the Russians treat their soldiers, I can't imagine how they treat their prisoners!
Great reporting 👍❤️🙏🇺🇦💪🏼

They are puppets in a proxy war so the democrats can funnel money to themselves and big war machine and companies like Raytheon. Wake up. Your people are dying.
Heart Breaking!
I have put the Doctors next to Ukraine and Russia on the Gold IPad and please want everyone to be treated for post-traumatic stress. No more fighting is allowed on neutral territory where the UN is
SlavaUkraine
It means viva Ukrain
I am not a fan of these kinds of videos. I hope this man gets the help & treatment he needs, and I also hope for his sake that he and his family can come to their own conclusions on this current conflict by themselves, separate from state TV and propaganda.
Then why did you watch it? Many of us watched the videos . He knows he killed Ukraine troops and innocent civilians
acting
Imagine his friends comrades that died thinking they were going to get killed and tortured gotta be a wake up call for sure
I can imagine what this Russian soldiers is now thinking to know the truth by the Ukrainian interviewer. He is in good company, lucky man.
