’I Am Treated Like a Human, and in Russia They Treat Us as Sxpendables’: Russian POW Confession

DISCLAIMER: the POW gave his clear consent for filming and publishing this footage. POWs are protected by the Geneva Convention and treated accordingly in Ukraine. Anton Meshcheryakov is a citizen of Russia. He lived in the city of Kirov. In Russia, he was imprisoned for having marijuana. During his imprisonment, he had a child born, and the prisoner has never seen her. The ministry of defense of Russia recruited him to the 5th motorized infantry division of the Russian army, and he was captured by the Ukrainian Defense Forces near Mariinka. The POW shares his experiences, how Russian regular forces assign machine-gunners to shoot retreating prisoners if they flee the battlefield. He could have been killed by such ’death squads’ so he surrendered to the Armed Forces of Ukraine when he had the opportunity.
