Are you implying the video is fake, like they aren’t Russian captives? Or are you implying that the Russian captives are lying?
The fact that Russian captives are saying anything beyond name, rank, and serial number while obviously being recorded is already a huge L for russian military training and discipline.
Dont put words in my mouth. I didn't claim any of these things.
So what were you trying to say when you said “… videos like this should be taken with a grain of salt. There is propaganda on both sides.”?
I don’t want to put words in your mouth, but you’re very obviously trying to imply something there, so just say it.
For the record I made it very clear that I was asking you what you were implying, I doubt any rational person would read anything in my previous comment as putting words in your mouth.
@nebulaone @borari No one put words in your mouth. Just asked simple questions.
There is a reason this was recorded and posted online. I don't think it is fake. But I also don't believe that every POW recieves the same treatment.
@nebulaone Why not?
@nebulaone You have evidence otherwise?
This will be my last reply. I can believe whatever I want. And as I said I want Ukraine to win. I am not some russian troll if that's what you're getting at.
@nebulaone I am not getting at anything. I do not dispute your right to believe what you want, just interested if you had anything to support the idea that ruzzians were being mistreated by Ukraine. I have not seen anything to support that.
In a war you rarely have independent proof, that's the point. So there is nothing wrong with being a bit cautious and sceptical when hearing news and I feel you are being a bit harsh.
And for sure propaganda exists on both sides, I guess no one is seriously disputing this. At the same time I have no doubts that being a PoW is 1000 times better than being in a Russian trench. But still I can acknowledge that reports like this are not some kind of independent journalism.
