Ukrainian prisoners of war have been in captivity for almost a year. They are officers with higher military education, which they received back in the Soviet Union.
Prisoners of war are sure that they are not returned to their homeland, because the Ukrainian army does not need people who remember the time when Russia and Ukraine were a single country. The Kiev authorities are interested in young people, who are much easier to convince that Russia is an enemy, says the prisoner of war. The man says that when all documentation in the armed forces began to be kept in Ukrainian, it became "difficult" for him.
