Russia telling draftees they will exercise in Western Russia.They end up in Ukraine instead [View all]

No wonder they're killing their own generals.


But videos released by the Ukrainian military purported to show that Russian conscripts had been taken prisoner in the war’s early days.

In one such clip, 23-year-old Damur Mustafaev said that his unit was told it would take part in military exercises in western parts of Russia. But it ended up in the Chernihiv region of central Ukraine, where Mustafaev was captured after his tank broke down.
