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.

Update 3:

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.

I feel a bit like this is something to share after the fact, not while he remains useful in any capacity.

Yeah, like....what about Tomov's family? I get wanting to post this, but any Russians that see this will now know that if they get captured, their "assistance" will be put on the internet in full display for the world to see.

Can any one see how that might be a problem?

I don't think many of the Russians who surrendered, are being welcomed back home in general. Fair point, though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think there is a big difference between "not being welcomed back" and what might happen to "the family of a traitor", though.

I think for those russians who want to end this was asap he might be a hero.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Fair, but usually I think the thought process is closer to "surrender, or get shot in the head" so the risk of getting exiled by your countrymen or being shamed online is kind of secondary

I can only imagine what is waiting behind that camera if he decides not to cooperate

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

For them it is.

I guess it's better than a video of them being executed

Ground control to Major Tomov

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Why is this video posted twice, except this one has the watermark blurred out?

I want Ukraine to win, but this is against the geneva convention for treatment of POWs.

Edit: see my reply below for details on exactly what is being violated.

Why? It's a healthy looking guy highlighting things on a map.
