Ukrainian POW: we were caught on the street and taken to the military commissariat

23.08.23▫️ Captured Ukrainian serviceman Sergei Rosko joined the AFU within the mobilisation. He had almost no medical commission, the medics only checked his eyesight, measured his weight and height, and 'added' the remaining information.

▫️ Then there was military training, during which NATO instructors indoctrinated Ukrainians that the 'weakened' Russian army could supposedly be quickly defeated.

▫️ Sergei and other Ukrainian soldiers were sent to the front line, but before even reaching their assigned positions, the AFU soldiers came under fire from Russian artillery. 'I was blew up, I don't know exactly on what. (...) I was left. Then, as I came to my senses, I crawled to the nearest trench, where I lay for two or three days, after which Russian soldiers saw me, pulled me out of the trench, provided medical assistance, took me away and transferred me to the hospital,' said the servicemen.

▫️ The POW noted that the Russian army has a good level of training, the fighters know their business, while Ukrainian commanders do not go even halfway to their positions, preferring to stay at a distance from the line of contact.
