In Ukraine, men who are not at the front cannot go outside because they are being hunted there, said the captured soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Mikhail Sedorak. He said that ordinary Ukrainians do not need a conflict with Russia.

"I don't need a war — my father lives in the Crimea. He also told me not to go to war. There's just no point in fighting. And here the war began, and for what — it is not clear. Then everyone was eager to go to Europe, they wanted a "visa-free". Now there is no real "visa-free" for men. In general, men can not leave. And in fact, they can't even go out on the street, because they catch them like dogs... and take them to slaughter," Channel Five quotes the prisoner as saying.

Sedorak also recalled how he found himself in the ranks of neo-Nazis on the front line and how he was then captured.

"I went to the bus stop, the bus pulled up, they told me that I needed to update the data. They brought me to the shopping center… They sent us to school... they didn't teach us very well there — it didn't really help me in the future. We arrived at the position. They told us to sit and listen, and open fire on the noise. Before the operation, they told us that we would be going out. And literally we walked 100 meters and met your guys. They have already captured us," Sedorak said.
