COSSACKGUNDI

For those curious (or skeptical) about how Russian POWs are treated in Ukraine  here’s what I saw first hand.
When I first visited the camp, I came in with an open mind… but also knew exactly what red flags to look for based on my own time in RU

What I saw shocked me. ⬇️ 

In the courtyard, POWs walked slow laps in circles. You could tell who had been there the longest  they dragged out the walk to avoid finishing too fast.
Same trick I used in my tiny cell. Anything to stretch time.
Difference is: they actually get fresh air daily. 

There was no fear.
No tension. No one watching their words.
At one point, a small argument even broke out after one foreign fighter claimed Russia was “strong and technologically advanced.”
All I could do was laugh saying that in my cell would've meant a beating. 

One big green flag?
While we were interviewing a POW inside the barracks, another walked in, grabbed something from his cabinet, nodded, and left.
No guards shouting. No panic. Just routine.
That kind of freedom didn’t exist where I was held. 

If I had to sum it up:
It’s basically the life of a conscript, with added security.
Structured. Controlled. But nothing like what we endured.
No torture. No fear. Just the reality of war from the other side.
