According to the prisoner, he kept the postcard for a long time, waiting for an opportunity to escape from the unit to avoid death. He said that the Storm V command mocked soldiers, engaged in corruption, forced them to buy their own equipment and sent the wounded and sick to the front line without proper medical care.

  1. He took a big risk to keep the postcard on his persons – but it looks like that risk has paid off.

  2. He is lucky they didn’t handcuff him so he couldn’t surrender.

  3. And her is proof that not all Russians are fucking idiots.

  9. Certainly good news for him (in the short term) and for Ukraine. I wonder though what’s awaiting this guy in the future. Appearing like this in public will likely prevent his return to post war Russia as I figure out he’d be bearing a great risk. If I were him I’d be thinking of settle down elsewhere to make a living. Quite possibly his final choice.

  11. Good decision, promotion from orc to pow granted.

  12. So you just killed him by posting this…..

    They might forgive a conscript, but not a prisoner.

  14. Age 54,…55,…This is what the Russians are throwing at the front lines.

  15. If Ukraine tever trade him in a prison exchange russians will surely torture or kill him

  17. But why would they show his face? Can he be traded as PoW due to the way he surrendered?

  20. What happens to this guy now? Can’t send him back to Russia. He’ll go to the gulag or unalived

  21. Problem is their screwed theyll die sooner or later

  22. Ukrainians are absolute fucking saints. The restraint and humanity they’ve shown and continue to show is amazing. They’re saving lives on both sides by employing methods like this. 

  24. The face of someone taking a great risk to avoid certain death. Hopefully is able to relocate his family outta russia and make a life again.

  26. A little smarter than most.

    Does not say that much but better than nothing.
