Tolkachyov Pavlo was mobilized on February 24, 2022 to the 125th regiment of the so-called Donetsk People's Republic. 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.

Maybe poking the bear isn't the best strategy if you are all so scarred by your last encounter, I'm sure the fence will keep them at bay though

I wonder if Russia has any history with foreign powers invading through Ukraine that might evoke similar feelings lol.

As an expert on WW2, could you perhaps shed some light on that?


Finland now has a dragon behind it so it can poke the bear all it wants. Not poking the bear is exactly what Finland did during the Cold War, and, and it turned out to happen at the expense of dignity.

But who or what is Russia? It's "free" people? Imo Russia is a rogue state, and that state cares fuck all for its people. This Ukraine war is all about the internal power struggle of the oligarchs. "Russia strong" is one of the key elements of staying in power. A West-aligned semi-Russophone "brotherly nation" of 40 mill is a threat to those in power, not the Russian people.

Russia isn't scared of NATO and in WW2 there was the threat of having one totalitarian system overrun by another one, in an era of conventional warfare withou nukes. Now Russia has nukes, and a totalitarian enough society to force people into being cannon-fodder and to seize all means of production for maintaining the war machine.

A dragon that will watch you get eaten while it takes all your gold back to its lair to sleep on.

Do you honestly believe that countries don't fear eachother if they possess nukes? Why is the US so concerned about Russian aggression then?

Do you know how much the US spends on its military? Why do you think that is? Couldn't they simply nuke any threat?

prisoners of war must at all times be protected, particularly against acts of violence or intimidation and against insults and public curiosity.


Not that rules of war matter in the Ukranian conflict, just a funny thought.

Love how it says their faces have been hidden but they just....weren't.

Don't worry though, they gave their consent and totally weren't tortured, we know this because of the SBUs great track record on those sorts of things, especially post-zelensky reforms.

I mean these things dont matter, both sides kill eachother now. Towards the end of bakhmut prigozhin openly refused surrenders, and that nobody would be taken alive.

Thats the problem with being stupid. The vids released from both sides, trying to play "cool", this is the result. Everyone saw it coming.

Are you stupid? I have said this from day 1.

No point acknowledging a monkey.
