💔 A SOLDIER'S PAINFUL DILEMMA
1️⃣ Mariupol’s Scars – "I saw too much death, but my love for Ukraine remains."
2️⃣ Not a Deserter, But Disillusioned – "I’ll fight again only if commands change."
3️⃣ Brutal Honesty – Exposes wasted lives, poor tactics, but still believes in victory.
⚔️ WHY THIS STINGS BOTH SIDES
🇺🇦 Ukraine’s Crisis: Troops losing faith in leadership, not the cause.
🇷🇺 Russia’s Dilemma: POW’s patriotism undercuts their "Nazi" propaganda.
🇺🇸 West’s Problem: Can’t ignore grunt-level truths anymore.

00:00He also spoke with a number of Ukrainian servicemen before they were freed.
00:05Unlike many of his brothers-in-arms, one man that we spoke to, Yorgos,
00:09suggested he might actually return to the front line.
00:15It was at night, on the way out of Mariupol, in front of a field.
00:21On the way out towards Donetsk?
00:23No, towards Zaporozhye.
00:25They opened fire upon us at night from the opposite side.
00:30Then my commander was wounded, and he was taken away.
00:33Did you go to Azovstal?
00:35No.
00:35Why?
00:36Because when everyone was about to leave, we were still running around Mariupol, hiding, so to speak.
00:42Then we were given a command to put our weapons and military uniforms in the truck.
00:48They gave us a choice to attempt to go out or to continue fighting.
00:53But what if you could get out and find your friends there?
00:56I don't know.
00:58But most likely, I would have continued, because I still had my contract.
01:03If my contract had ended, I don't know what I would have done.
01:07Do you want to be exchanged?
01:09Of course.
01:10Well, not everyone wants to, because they are being exchanged and then sent back to the front.
01:15What do you think?
01:17I don't see anything wrong with that.
01:20So, if they exchange you and ask whether you want to go back there, would you go?
01:24If I see any benefit for the country, then yes.
01:28It's a couple of times.
