Ok so you're just assuming things to fit your perspective or what?
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.
