'Nine men died, I was taken prisoner' - Ukrainian POW

The following statement accompanied this video on the Russian MOD Telegram channel:
"Surrendered in the first battle: Ukrainian POW tells about a fake medical examination, a lot of men refusing to go to the front lines, and unwillingness to fight

▫️ POW [Name Redacted] told that he was enlisted to the AFU with a stomach ulcer. Then he underwent training in Odessa and Nikolayev region. He assures that a lot of men refuse to fight. For example, one platoon of his company dropped weapons.

▫️ [Name Redacted] himself decided to surrender in the first battle as nine of his comrades died during an assault of Russian troops.

▫️ He does not regret his decision, because surrendering is the only way to survive."

As usual with POW videos, the soldiers could be speaking under duress. WARGASM has hidden his face as not to upset YouTube.
