Perfect example of both informational warfare and OSINT--first clear breakout of a Russian Spetsnaz team by functions and mission sets.
Two really well done POW videos from the two captured Russian Spetsnaz—target audience will be Russia and those that believe massively in the Russian disinformation.
The videos are also a way for allowing their families know they are alive and well as they fully named their Russian addresses--these will definitely be broadcast by Radio Free Europe today and the families will then via radio reports get the notification. The Ukraine has indicated they will allow family contacts if the families approach them.
Ukrainian POWS have been treated in a far more brutal fashion to even executions after capture and torture. Minsk 2 stated all for all must be exchanged and the Ukraine has provided Russia with a list of 401 that have not been exchanged and no info on their locations and or conditions.
Kind of kills the Russia official line especially from Putin’s spokesperson and the Russian MoD that they were “former Russia service members”.
It will be a potent response to the Russia countless statements "we ain't in the Ukraine or it's not us-- it is the mercenaries".
The last comments by the SF CPT---the top is skimming the cream and the low are skimming the blood is a telling statement from a Russian professional officer and a Spetsnaz member.
There is no pressure on the two and from all accounts Ukraine medical treatment saved the leg of the SGT.
Security Service of #Ukraine posted NEW video of #Russian POWs with English subtitles!
