Russian POWs Reveal Why They Came to Ukraine
As well as seeing the conditions they’re kept in at Ukraine’s only POW camp, Kyiv Post also gained some startling insights into why some of the men did – and didn’t – want to go to war.
News platforms said it was the long-range version of the US weapon but there was no early Kyiv confirmation. It may have been Ukraine’s most ambitious ballistic missile strike of the war so far.

At this point the Russians POWs have a decision to make. They have been either duped / coerced into putin's illegal war or the suffer from the same unrecoverable psycopathic ailment as their current thug leadership. As invaders these Russian POWs acts to date have been in the minimal criminal. Their illegal invasion of Ukraine has resulted in their nation being internationally isolated and facing sanctions and reparation expenses that will postpone their nations prosperity. If they want to be reaccepted into civilized circles they must now make amends. Those awakened and now truly repentant need to join the Russian resistance as it works to dispose of putin's regime. Their service will be both personally cathartic.
However if investigations suggest they have intentionally acted cruelly and immorally on the battlefield and they continue to share putin's warped views, they are not worth trusting. As with prison chain gangs of the past, I think it is fair they repay Ukraine in hard, but humane labour at least until the war ends. After a post war swap, the future russian administration will then be tasked with whether they are redeemable for some greater societal purpose, or need continued incarceration.
