Priest Oleg: Ukrainian prisoners ask not to exchange them out of fear for their lives. Priest Oleg noted that Russians treat them like brothers.

Earlier, Ukrainian prisoner of war Nikolai Mozil reported that some Ukrainian military registration and enlistment offices even mobilize disabled people who are missing an arm or a leg. Also, captured Ukrainian military officer Oleg Lepyakh said that servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are intimidated by torture, which soldiers are allegedly subjected to in Russian captivity.
