AFU Captain Speaks About His Shock When Looking At Surrendered Russians

The prisoners were taken in the Kursk region.

25-year-old Lviv citizen, captain of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Yuriy Zhukovets gave a brief description of the Russian soldiers who were captured in the Kursk direction at the beginning of the operation.

In an interview for the YouTube platform Ukrainska Pravda, the captain and reconnaissance company commander of the 103rd separate brigade of Territorial Defence, Yuriy Zhukovets, shared his impressions of communicating with the Russian military, whom he had to take prisoner on the territory of the Russian Federation at the beginning of the Kursk operation.

According to the defender of Ukraine, all Russian soldiers in this direction were frightened and deceitful.

"Fear is understandable, but constant deception... Probably, it is characteristic of their entire nation," Zhukovets said. "There were moments when we tried to have a conversation with them, that is, to find out who and why, what for. But they always had only two theses: "Except for Kurshchyna, we have not been anywhere, and we are conscripts."

Accordingly, when you later take their documents and see that some of them are 35 years old, doubts creep in about how a person can be a conscript at such an age. Their constant deception led to the fact that in the end they were simply packed and transferred to specially trained people who worked with them and received the necessary information.

"They are pathological liars," said the captain of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Zhukovets also noted that at the beginning of the Kursk operation, the main mistake of the Russian military was that they hoped for the entry into battle of all the soldiers next to them. But as a result, most of them began to flee, this had a very bad effect on the morale of the rest.

"When you realize that you are surrounded, you no longer have any motivation to fight, so you surrender," said the defender of Ukraine.

But the Russians quickly corrected this mistake. They pulled the regular army to the Kursk direction and began to conduct quite massive attacks, so now it is not as easy to fight them as at the beginning of the operation.

“As you can see, they always acts with quantity to win. They can crush us massively. Little by little, somewhere they succeed, and somewhere it does not help them. But in general, this tactic is effective," Zhukovets summed up.
