Our news showed the Ukrainians arriving back to their loved ones. Injured, gaunt, sunken eyes etc. Ukraine is grabbing men off the streets daily at every chance. These men in the exchange are on the way back to the frontline but you will never get to hear about it on the news. These men best scenario for them is to surrender. They have had plenty of leaflets drops explaining how. Most don’t make it because at the first instance of someone surrendering, they are shot in the back. The Ukrainian Military war crimes to their own fighters are well documented and horrendous to their own people. Zelensky cares nothing about these souls. All he sees is the rewards (which he probably won’t get to enjoy) because he will be looking over his shoulder all the time. There are dozens of interviews of those captured by Russia and these Ukrainian captives are given medical attention, a warm bed, clean clothes and are safe until after the war is over. They will see their families again after the war. One thing is whatever the media might tell you, Putin abides by the Geneva Convention.
Oh yes, Ukraine is a money laundering DS country.
Streets of Ukraine sound like the streets of UK cities in the 1700s/1800s when Royal Navy press-gangs were grabbing subjects off the streets and forcibly dragging them into Naval service.
