Captured Ukrainian serviceman Sergei Natalenko recently made a shocking revelation about his experience as a prisoner of war. Natalenko, who was taken prisoner in Toretsk, told TASS that he and his fellow Ukrainian soldiers were treated differently by Russian and Ukrainian forces.
According to Natalenko, when Ukrainian soldiers surrender, Russian soldiers do not shoot them. However, he claimed that Ukrainian soldiers have been known to shoot their own men in the back after they surrender. This disturbing accusation sheds light on the brutal nature of the conflict in Ukraine, where tensions remain high between Russian-backed separatists and Ukrainian forces.
Natalenko’s testimony highlights the complex web of allegiances and betrayals that define the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. It serves as a reminder of the human cost of war and the difficult choices faced by soldiers on the frontlines.
As the conflict in Ukraine continues to escalate, stories like Natalenko’s serve as a sobering reminder of the harsh realities of war. The international community must continue to work towards a peaceful resolution to the conflict and ensure the protection of civilians and combatants alike.
