So, one, it's actually a violation of the Geneva Convention to be using captured soldiers in propaganda videos (regardless of whether what they're saying is true). Nonetheless, the Ukrainians have been doing this a lot.

Two, how do you know the guy is actually a Russian soldier, how do you know he's telling the truth, how do you know he's free to tell the truth? You should be a little more skeptical of random videos posted online during a war. Both sides have been caught putting out blatantly fake propaganda.



Wow. Just...wow.
