Update 1:

This video is spread by “Z-war correspondents”. It shows Major Tomov, whom the Rashists were looking for several days. Now he is in Ukrainian captivity, where he is giving up the positions of his subordinates.

On August 9, “Z-war correspondents” claimed that the Ukrainian military had raided the left bank of the Dnipro River, probably advancing 800 meters deep. The Russians concealed this operation, denied it, and then issued that they had sunk all the boats. As a result, Major Tomov and at least 17 other men from his group disappeared near the village of Kozachi Laheri, as the Rashists wrote. Russian propaganda also tried to cover up the disappearance of the reconnaissance group, but something went wrong.

Interview/interrogation with Major Tomov, unit commander of the 1822 batallion who got captured in Kozachi Laheri. He talks about losses, about the state of his unit (extreme low morale and lots of defectors) and combat capabilities. He doesn’t blame himself for being captured.

“There are lots of combat losses in our batallion, as of August 6 we approached 25%.”

Major Tomov is reportedly very willing to share classified information.

    What am I assuming, that he’s not willing? No, I watched the video. His body language doesn’t look like that of someone who’s willing, and neither the way the captors are talking to him.

    Either way, even if he’s “willing”, it’s probably cause he’s afraid not to. You cannot assume a POW to have a clear mind to make “free will” decisions.

    Yes, the Russians are very likely doing the same or worse, so I understand … but it’s still a violation.

    Ah, and my perspective is that Ukraine has has the right to defend themselves and take back their territory, but should do so according to international laws of war.

      When you first posted about this there was only a picture of him, so yeah that’s a big assumption based just on that.

      But otherwise fair enough, I appreciate your perspective and info.
