Captured Russian troops in tears over invasion

Article here. I am not posting this to elicit sympathy for the Russian invasion. (Clearly this is Putin's war, not the average Russian's.) I post it to show how men are affected by war and in particular to show how they have been treated as instruments of war rather than as human beings. This is how war dehumanizes men when they are used by a country's gov't. Until it becomes totally unacceptable to use men as war instruments, tragedies like war will continue. Excerpt:

'Captured Russian soldiers broke down in tears as they told their families they had been 'sent to their deaths' in Ukraine.

The prisoners of war were interviewed on camera by Ukrainian forces and said they had been used as cannon fodder in the war.

It comes after Ukraine claimed it had killed 6,000 Russian troops durning the first six days of the invasion.

Now footage is being shared online showing some of the captured invaders complaining about the war.

One captive was filmed speaking to his mother over the phone, telling her: “They sent us to death, everyone killed everyone.”

The soldier then broke down crying and told his mum ‘I love you too’.'
