How did a company of Russian conscripts end up as POWs? | Ukraine War
A company of young Russian conscripts decided they would rather be taken prisoner than be murdered by Chechen executioners tasked with making them fight.
The details were revealed by Sky News military analyst Prof Michael Clarke as he discussed the latest developments on Ukraine’s invasion of the Kursk region of Russia.

The advisor is a modern Rasputin
Thanks Dr. Clark!
Michael is so knowledgeable such a respected man
Yes, it has brought us closer to WWIII and to make light of it is irresponsible. I support Ukraine, but i am not stupid. I just wish Russia had not invaded Ukraine. Scary situation and if the present White house administration wins we are in deep trouble.
There is a reason we have a verb "ryssiä" in Finnish, roughly meaning "to totally fail in something"
The spirits lead the nations to armageddon.
That comment… how seriously should we take it?
Prof Clarke: Not very.

Thanks professor always easy to understand your analysis.
3rd world war.
Europe heading for the hat-trick.
Without the full support of China ,India ,Mexico and Brazil this invasion of Ukraine would have been over 2 years ago . The question is will Putin accept Mexico’s invite for their presidential inauguration.
There was no one there to tell him what to do this goes to prove a Russian conscript is useless and the normal troops are not much better.
The Chechen "Blocking Units" who shoot their own men for retreating are effectively persuading russan troops to move forwards and surrender. Once word gets out that POWs get fed and wartered and (more importantly) are not obliged to take part in any future prisoner exchange the I would expect more troops to seek sanctuary from Putin.
More lies, sounds like they are trying to butter us up to ask for more funding
The NHS needs funding, the UK infrastructure needs funding, a fair living wages needs funding, can we not focus on our own issues close to home rather than this blatent money laundering of UK taxes.
Everyone knows there will be no ww3, thete will be civil wars erupting all over the western world
As for the UK most of gen z don't want to fight, the other generations who probablyveould of volunteered to fight for britain, won't now due to being labelled far right, and an enemy of the state, being cast aside for the islamic population.
They were abandoned without food and water for 4 days and chose life over death.
The west by only using Ukraine indvaded Russia
Russia started this hell
No will to fight…they live in a dictatorship. Forced to fight a highly motivated people that love their culture and are proud of their country .
My guess is the grocery shelves in Russia are about to empty out and with sanctions and Xi out of power no one will sell to Russia and they are digging trenches out in farm fields that they now won’t be able to collect from.
Sounds like the only spirits petruschev has been communicating with. Is overproofed vodka.
100 is not a big deal. In the fall of Singapore 85000 of us Brits surrendered.
