The video appeared to confirm recent reports that dozens of Russian soldiers had been surrendering around Vovchansk, where heavy fighting has raged since Moscow launched a cross-border offensive towards Ukraine's second-largest city, Kharkiv, last month.
The POWs were later filmed and interviewed, sitting in what appeared to be a school classroom.
Several of the captured soldiers said they had been forced into the Russian army due to financial or legal trouble. Some said they had received as little as one week of training before being sent to the front.
Food and water were limited, and often, they had to buy supplies with their own money.
Almost all the prisoners said their units had suffered severe losses during attacks against Ukrainian positions.
"We received an order to attack positions inside a chemical factory. I don't know, maybe there were 70 of us. We drove there at night," one POW said.
"The drones came out of nowhere and wiped almost everyone out. Most of us were hit. Only seven of us survived and we were wounded. Then we were taken prisoner," he said.
Another soldier said he had been taken prisoner after being the "only survivor" in his unit.

Ukraine is the one with press gangs snatching civilians, well documented. Russia appears to be signing up around 30k a month with no pressure. Do some homework on your sources. Western media is a joke.

No it is not “quite a feat”. Its quite easy actually to fake lines on maps, even child’s play.
“Can’t they count beyond 70 or below 70?”
*************
They can count precisely when it comes to grifting for more money.
LMAO... No pressure? Tell that to the good people of Rostov. Russian authorities raid night clubs, rounding up men for the Ukrainian front.
Also... Russia suffered almost 40,000 casualties in the month of May alone according to independent estimates so in any event they'll need to up their no-pressure pressure.
Ruh roh...
