The impact of Ukrainian captivity. Captured Russian soldiers are glad they didn’t die and say they hope there will be fewer animals like themselves.

"I want to go to church, light a candle for the health of the warriors who are now in the trenches, so they stay strong." #Ukrainian Defenders, who were in Russian captivity, waited for years to return home. Finally, days of captivity are no more, and now they are back in their homeland.

This one never grows old! From Natalka 19-Sept-2024 😂 The West began secretly supplying Ukraine with a new generation of lethal weapons prohibited by the Geneva Convention…. What are these new weapons? Watch the video to find out. 😉 Kudos to whoever put this together!
