Lucky bastards.
They get a hot meal and don’t get to bleed out on the ground.
For now. Eventually they will be exchanged and sent back to war.
Teenagers… Putin is slaughtering Russian youth for the sake of waging war and clinging to power
As it always was.
I love those blindfolds.
My thought was well. Sure they’re fighting for their country’s very existence, but that’s no excuse not to use the team colors!

If the incursion forces are only so big, what do you do if there are too many prisoners? Are they sending them back to ukraine, is movement back and forth freely done, or is something like that more risky as it moves you away from the larger force as you go deeper.
The yellow and blue masking tape is a really nice touch.
They’re so young.
RU’s had the second best army in Ukraine for a while now, seems like they now have the second best army in Russia.
Just remember kids, the invaders brought their dress uniforms because they knew it would be over in 3 days and there would be PARADES TO MARCH IN.
Welp. Russia historically only responds to strength and their overall strategy has always been “keep dying in massive numbers until something big happens”. Usually that something is a crushing defeat that leads to revolution, but - they like to count their hits and ignore their misses. So - carry on.
Is there a meaning to the color?
Colour of the Ukrainian flag.
I imagine that the Ukrainians have a lot of extra blue and yellow tape laying around for uniform and vehicle identification purposes, so it made sense to use for a quick blindfold in this situation.
That is precisely why I asked. But, maybe I’m in the wrong assuming the color means something in this context.
I know that. But, in this context, what do they mean?
