"I can't": the captured Ukrainian cried, telling about how he was taken to war

A 40-year-old Ukrainian who surrendered in the Kursk region cried when he was offered to send greetings to his family. Before that, he told how he was forcibly mobilized and sent to fight.

A private shooter from the guard company of the 17th separate Tank Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine surrendered at the end of November while his unit was trying to get out of the operational environment in the Kursk region.

"I was on my way to work, they stopped the bus, handed over the summons, went to the military enlistment office, passed, so to speak, the Military Medical commission (military medical commission)... I have no opportunity, no money and no passport… They treat us like this: they make it clear that if you leave, it will be even worse for you. That is, either sit until the end or leave, and it's not a fact that you'll come back. The minimum that they can do is criminal liability, and the maximum is simply "missing", and that's it," said the prisoner Alexander Tsveli.

According to the serviceman, in September the command sent him to Sumy region, and on October 9 he and his colleagues were put in a Mitsubishi L200 civilian car and taken to the territory of Russia through a checkpoint.
