Mobilized only in April, the Russian invaders are already testifying in captivity. One of the occupiers arrived at the Ukrainian border only on April 20, and now he is talking about how he was captured and what Russia promised him.
A video with captured soldiers of the BARS 7 regiment of the Russian Armed Forces, a special unit of the invaders, formed on the basis of the Southern Military District a few months before the start of the Russian war against Ukraine, was published by the Security Service of Ukraine.

According to one of the prisoners, the duties included the restoration of the so-called “L/DNR” – dismantling the rubble, streamlining the streets, carrying and loading the dead and wounded, as well as being on duty at checkpoints. The invader says that Russia promised a lot of money for this – 200 thousand rubles (more than 85 thousand hryvnia – 24 channels).
They promised work in the rear, but threw them into the hottest spots
Another the occupant was offered to do medical work. He says that everyone who was called to the draft board that day was offered work in the rear, and not at the front.
At the same time, despite the promises, the mobilized “reservists” were thrown into the hottest battlefields, so many began to write refusals.
The military in the video released by the SBU say they have decided to continue following orders. One of the prisoners was told to stay in the trenches in one of the settlements in the Donbass, and by the evening they were promised to return home. But then the battle began, so the invaders were captured.
The invaders say that their regiment was utterly defeated by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on April 30 in the battle near Zolote, in the Luhansk region.
Each prisoner has his own story, but the purpose is the same – to be cannon fodder. Some did not even have time to fire a single shot and are very happy that they survived, the SBU reported. . According to Ukrainian intelligence, so-called “volunteers” are being recruited into the army, among whom are the unemployed and former soldiers living in states that were previously part of the Soviet Union. Such “volunteers” are also offered a salary of 200,000 rubles.
Illegal conscription campaign in Crimea
An illegal conscription campaign has been going on in the occupied Crimea for 15 years already. Russia is forcing Ukrainians to fight against their own state, because all the mobilized are mostly citizens of Ukraine.
Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights Lyudmila Denisova noted that forced mobilization is prohibited by international humanitarian law. The Geneva Convention prohibits an occupying state from compelling persons under its authority to serve in its armed or auxiliary forces.
