‘Our units are not in good shape. Lots of guys want to escape – they even wound themselves to escape. The commanders say that if you retreat, you’re done.’ A Ukrainian POW described the situation in their regiment. He was captured by a Chechen unit of Russian troops commanded by Daniil Martynov. He interacts a lot with the POWs and says Ukrainian soldiers are forced to fight: ‘He was told that if he didn’t fight, they would murder his family. If he runs, they will kill him. So he must dig the trenches and keep shooting until it’s all over.’ According to the Chechen commander, every POW is valuable: ‘He [a Ukrainian POW] may not even understand some things, but we can still gather a lot of important information. We listen to his testimony and put the whole puzzle together.’ Here’s an excerpt from our premiere of Battle for Freedom: On the frontline.
