'I hate them for what they did to me': 'Wagner' POW confession

- DISCLAIMER: the person in this video gave his clear consent to film and publish his comments.
Maksim is a former prisoner, he was recruited into 'Wagner' in the autumn of 2022. The curators promised him money, and Nazis were in rule over Ukraine. But the man's attitude dramatically changed after he got to the front line. Prisoners are treated like meat, according to his words. And the regular Russian army works only as execution detachments in the rear. Hear the confession of Maksim in our exclusive video.

This guy shouldnt be exchanged. Too dangerous for him.
he can fightb. with ukrainian to kill this who obvious him
He is a paid mercenary who pulled the trigger on Ukrainian's F him
The Ukrainians will trade him for a POW. The Ukrainians will secure their own (including Foreign Fighters) in this war before a Russian Mercenaries or Soldiers.
@Peter from NZ the rider in relation to the prohibition on displaying POWs or publishing images of POWs is that they must not ridicule or humiliate pows. This rule was inserted into the geneva conventions after ww2 (part of the 1949 geneva III amendments from memory). It was inserted in response to two little known events:
first, the death marches the germans subjected british (but not french) POWs to in 1940, following dunkirk and the surrender of british units in le havre and calais. Those death marches involved parading british pows - many of them severely wounded - through french cities and german cities and shooting many of the prisoners (wounded and men who strayed from the march ie men who fell out of the march line to accept food from civilians) along with french civilians who tried to help the POWs (these british POWs were poorly fed and not provided with medical care. Many died en route). Those POWs were not permitted to wash or clean themselves on the march - they arrived at prison camps in the same clothing and condition they were captured in. These atrocities are not well known about, probably because the germans committed such a huge list of atrocities during their modern wars (this also happened in ww1 but in much smaller scattered incidents).
The second set of incidents began in 1944 when the germans started parading allied POWs through german cities and allowing german civilians to assault them without restriction. Some of that was filmed amd you can find it on youtube or the internet. Its sickening.
There were no cameras or video devices like we have today. Videoing of POWs in this manner was not contemplated in 1949. However, the geneva convention provisions on the treatment of POWS does NOT prevent the non-abusive, voluntary videoing of POWs or the publication of those videos. That simply not what the prohibition is aimed at. This prohibition applies equally to casualties (again due to the 1940 atrocities against British POWs).
There are separate provisions in geneva III regarding the duty to keep POWs safe and well cared for.
Ukraine put a policy in place last year that those who want to surrender and not go back will be protected.
This guy should be in a mental trauma hospital, and observed, because he clearly needs help, but may not have as good manners as he seems to, once his initial shock is over.
imagine going to prison for some grams of ganja and then straight to front lines
I know. That's crazy.
Why fight to uphold a country like that... unbelievable
clearly this guy is not telling the truth if you were doing a 6 year bid in prison why would you volunteer for a war your likely to die in?
He volunteered to to join Wagner mercenaries To go murder Ukrainians who did nothing to him. So F him
ganja very nice local native words
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 from Greece 🇬🇷
Freedom to Russia
STOP putinism STOP propaganda
If you want to stop propaganda the first step is to not spread it...
he can count himself lucky hes been captured... he avoids the sledgehammer
Unless he ends up in a prisoner exchange. He should receive amnesty for bravely making that public statement.
How does he avoid it? Should Ukraine not trade for one of their pow's? His fate and whether he gets the hammer is up to the capricious nature of Priggy and/or other Wagner commanders. Sad...
Sledgehamners have been being used for quite some time by Wagner. The things they do in other countries, including Ukraine... in Syria recently... You wouldn't be able to sleep well for a while. Russian police are no better, routinely raping people with broomstick to terrorize them into compliance. Pretty women vanishing off the street taken by police.
Russian military is full of men being raped by other men, and some who accidently discover an officer in a gay act with another man are put into the most dangerous positions, since Russians are homophobic at a fanatical level.
I don't understand the people who even want to visit Russia, even for the old European architecture portraying a culture that is long dead.
@@sitruchtims9392 there is not one. There are many, but the one people saw most was not traded. He fought on the side of Ukraine after getting to the Ukranian side, and was captured by Russia.
This is a clear testament to the compassion & humaneness shown by the Ukrainians for their ‘reluctant’ enemy combatants. 👏🏻
People still being locked up for cannabis so pathetic ! Whilst those in position 's of authority are snorting cocaine .
What they do to Gay people in Russia is not that different to what was done to Jews in Ww2. They are the evil, "satanic" minority that can be discriminated against and blamed for society's ills...
Heartbreaking
Tell that to ukrainian family's who have been subjected to bombing rape torture and more
I feel so sad after hearing the story. But this poor Russian Wagner has still hope as he is alive. From Portland, Oregon. United States of America.
brain treatment will ahve more effect on this poor guy. like in the majority of ukraninas
@@robertokandal ????
@@robertokandal blatant genocidal racism
The guy is shattered. A lot of people are saying he should join the other side, but I don't think thats a good idea. I might be alone in seeing it but this guy is broken. He needs a quiet place to live alone and try to heal somewhere in the country. Judging by his demeanor I would suggest he has severe CPTSD and will snap at the smallest level of stress. For the first time my heart goes out to a Russian. I wish him peace.
He will be traded.
No, you are not alone. Putin wages war against Ukrainians and his own Citizens at the same time. So EVIL. I feel for this man too. I am glad he is in Ukraine.
@@AstroGremlinAmerican Some Russian Wagner guy will kill him with a sledge hammer if he's traded.
so you analyse he is shattered, broken, has severe CPTSD and is stressed.
and your answer is not: He needs therapy . -- your answer is to keep him alone in the countryside?
you must be american, I am so sorry for you.
@@whattheflyingfuck... Therapy as failed to fix our broken rich ruling class. Its not a button that fixes the impossible.
This is why there is a quote, "War is hell." For many the war never ends.
One of the few pows that i feel empathy for, he express emotions and independent thought, a minority
NEVER trust them, he's only talking like this because he was caught and he's afraid because he knows he's not part of the Russian military which makes it even worse for him. The Ukrainians just see this guy is a criminal who illegally entered their country for the purpose to try to kill them and take their belongings and destroy everything to pillage and plunder but they are bound by no law or government and the only person that he answers to is Pregosian. If he plays his cards right his best bet is to stay in Ukraine and if he's truly sorry prove it and when this war is over volunteer to help rebuild it.
6 years for possession of marijuana? God damn
His lips moved his Russian his a liar
@@peterwilliams2582 Are you a facist or a Moscovite? Anyway Dwarf Putin is running out of diapers you could send some to his bunker 👍
Being completely prejudicial here, but he does not look or act like a marijuana kind of guy. I would believe that he was arrested for some kind of possession though, and russia likes slapping hefty charges on minor drug crimes.
that britney grinder guy got 9 years
Too many jail time.
Feeling so sorry for this poor man, I hope he and thousands of others go on to have some sort of peaceful life, wishing it would all end and Putin was gone for ever with his regime,
he was a wagner and now hes a russian pow,,, love thsi zelinlky videos ahahahah
Want a napkin? Maybe send this guy a snicka bar? He just says what they expect him to say!
He most likely surrendered in very last moment, before being directly threatened with firearms / facing death.
I simply don't believe this people. Not a tiny little bit.
Don't feel sorry for any one of those orcupiers, especially wagnerites. You forget that this 'poor man' is a criminal who signed a contract with a terrorist organization sponsored by a terrorist state to rape Ukrainian women and kill innocent children on foreign soil.
I don't feel sorry for a single one of them since seeing the be-heading video. They all get what they deserve now.
@@robertokandal so fighting for Russia does not make him a Russian soldier? So why every gain made by Wagner all the bag boys are cheering how great Russians are?
The orc analogy is shockingly fitting. Feel bad for the decent Russians though.
You can feel bad all you want, but until they stand up for themselves that's all you can do for them. With many seeing the government is not as strong as they thought I believe men like this will be standing together soon I hope.
You feel bad for thedecent russian? So you don't feel bad at all,
There are very few. Russians themselves will tell you that if you talk to those who aren't under the influence of any propaganda, including soft propaganda.
Russians are largely apathetic to brutality against others, and in the case of Ukraine, often rather bloodthirsty, and commonly alcoholic, dishonest, and regarding politics as a majority completely uninterested in acting as citizens. The 2024 election will be an act of theater like the last couple of decades, done for show, and Russians simply refuse to look the situation in the eye, preferring to look away. If you tell Russians what's happening, they already know things are going terribly wrong, but they look away even more.
It's always absurd to me hearing people in Western countries who have small groups that like to make huge noise complaining about the 1%, when they clearly have no clue that the system they want to promote is the real evil - the one that exists in Russia.
No such thing. Liquidate him.
@@46mrph what about your govt, are you happy with them? 🤔
Jesus, this guy's 10yrs younger than me but looks 10 yrs older. Russian prisons must really be hell. And god knows what's in store for him back in Mordor once they swap him out. May as well defect, if that were possible.
I have a ferling he ain't going back. Probably will stay in Ukraine until this is over.
He's a paid mercenary he was there killing Ukrainian's who cares what happens to the scumbag
Yeah, I was thinking, how old is this guy anyway. I did the maths and he's 36. I mean, I'm 70 and of course, look older than him but I bet I'm in better shape. A hard life he's had.
I think the same pablo, i' am 47 years old, but this guy is in bad condition.
prison is a punishment, not a vacation, that said i do not agree being detained for marijuana
I've watched documentaries about Russian prisons and was shocked to find out that they punish drug offenses so heavily, so it didn't surprise me that he got 6 years for weed. From smoking weed to fighting on the frontline without training. Wtf.
6years for weed is draconian backwards maybe more to the story?
I can't remember exactly what his crimes were but it wasn't pot... pretty sure it was a video on the TH-cam channel crime and punishment that I saw him... and it was a prison for murderers rappers and other violent offenders...
@@yazmeliayzol624 oh you remember this exact man from a different video? Damn, he must be an attention whore lol. When I left my comment I considered the fact that he might have lied about his crime, but I know that drug offenses are punished way too heavily on Russia, so I feel like my point still stands. Whether this particular man lied or not.
@@RamoArt does he really mean rappers? like they get jailed for their shit music? wow that's actually quite cool...
It's not easy to assess the sincerity of these prisoners, but my gut feeling is that this bloke is probably being honest (-ish). Whatever: he certainly didn't draw the winning ticket in The Grand Grand Lottery of Life. Slava Ukraine!
Now Russia knows he's a POW.
Now they will ask for him by name in a prisoner swap. We all know what that means.
no, what?
@@zweed69 he's dead. They either shoot him on receipt, or send him out in the very next walk into the meat grinder. Less dramatic than Wagner, but the same effect.
@@77thTrombone do you really believe that? what would be the point in swapping?
@@zweed69 yes. It's been documented. Don't ask for a link; it's been a few months ago.
The "value" is to emphasize to other Russians that they must not surrender, and to discredit the army after surrendering is worse.
@@77thTrombone but not every captured soldier has surrendered, there are way too many variables at play, I only say this because I personally have served in the forces so I have a reasonable understanding on what goes on, especially behind the scenes and also if you think back to Iraq and Afghanistan you will remember the fog of war? remember why they locked up Assange... nothing to do with those women
It's always nice when Russians create good Russians.
I pray more Russians see the truth... I pray Ukraine can find forgiveness in their hearts for those who were tricked into this war. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦
Russians are aware things are very bad. They look away while being apathetic to violence, or in some cases enjoying it. That is why Russia produces so many monsters.
There is a lot of Russians that's had their nose broke before. I don't think I've ever seen so many men with broke noses than in Russia and that's crazy
Bless this man with principles
He will say anything. Ukrainian captives on videos say the same thing about Ukraine😆
@@RUTHLESSambition5 💯
@@zweed69 These people don't even see the hypocrisy which is truly scary. We are supposed to take what he says as the gospel and ignore ukrainian captive confessions 😂
This is one of the first stories from a Russian POW that I actually find believable, and I actually have empathy for him. The poor bastard was in prison for 6 years just for POT?? I mean, what else are you supposed to do, living in Russia, other than take drugs to numb your reality? Besides, pot isn’t even a drug - it’s a medicinal plant given to us by the Lord.
And if you know stoners, you know they are some of the kindest, most gentle people on earth. They aren’t cut out for war. This guy is giving me those kind of vibes. How lucky for him that he ended up in _Ukrainian_ (rather than Russian) hands. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦🇺🇸
(Let’s hope he stays in Ukrainian hands and doesn’t get exchanged… at least until the Kremlin comes toppling down).
6 years for pot...
USA: Hold my beer
It is a medicinal plant given to us by the lord....what - just like the opium poppy or the foxglove? grow up!
@@bbdj2779 yes, because the confession that he felt it was appropriate to give his captors will get him killed in russia - so what was his reasoning for giving it?
In Russia their is only one lord Putin
Good guy. What a hero to become an advisor.
Unfortunately, such epiphany only comes after they get captured. Beforehand, they have no problems murdering, raping and stealing.
Total agreement with you . This mentality will never change in RUSSIA . Until they stop being a propogandist fuelled country without the old iron curtain mindset .
Whilst I agree with you both, I’m thinking that’s not the case for this guy
Poor guy! I hope he, and those like him who have made mistakes, are given an opportunity for a new life.
The Serbs did the same in Yugoslavia . Nothing new in that . Selensky are taking all men / boys from the age of 15 .
Wagner did just that
Thks &;
If I was in his place, I would have killed myself long ago (this guy is much strong than me).
Pls give this poor guy a small chance to live a peacefull/long life.
I am again impressed with a mobilized convicts' understanding of the situation he is in and his analytic view and opinion of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Six years? He should be made President.
Hard life living in a country ruled by a dictator that places absolutely no value in others lives. His greed is the cause of all the lives lost and those who are left to suffer. I hope this young man will someday understand exactly what and why the Ukrainian people will never give up their rights and most importantly, their freedom.
You mean like the way Americans are treated!
America has the highest rate of prisoners in the World.
AMERICA IS THE GREATEST THREAT TO WORLD PEACE AND DEMOCRACY IN THE WORLD!
Stay in Ukraine young man and have a chance at life and we'll being💙🇺🇦💛❤️👍
can we all agree not even other species animals should be treated like that?
😔 just be good as you were now start to be usefull in right track
really hope he is not sent back to wagner, its clear what will happen if he is, and he seems to understand the real ins and outs of whats really going on
Shows you how little the RF values the lives of its citizens.
Those who manage to survive will be scarred for life after what they have seen and experienced, all because a few men, Putin, and his henchmen, want absolute power.
Would be nice to have a link to the original or something 🤔
as it's confusing to hear translation of one part of the text while he is saying another words at a time.
Thank you for the work though! 💙💛
Poor guy. Common people killing and dying for the interests of some politicians and oligarchs. War is madness.
It's never the common Russian soldier or citizen that I have any disdain for, it's the Russian government. I wish nobody else has to die, but this is war and unfortunately, more people will. Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇸💛💙🇺🇦
people are responsible for their own government. they have the choice to follow or not.
It still never fails to stun me how inhumane and cruel Russian "leaders" are, even towards their own citizens. RISE UP, good people of Russia! I pray for both Ukrainians and Russians. Peace for all.
They rose up 110 years ago and gave us Lennon and Stalin
This is what Russia is. He's absolutely right. The upper class and leaders don't see them as humans. This has been happening for awhile. Him and many others gave up a long time ago, the poor and misfits were dismissed as expendable before Feb 24th. He counted himself as one of the dead as soon as he realized the truth.
This is Russia, for the last 1000 years at least.
Never have, under the Tsars the serfs were no better than slaves and their ''owners'' had the power of life and death over them. They haven't changed much since the days of Genghis Khan''
They have been like that forever.
I can understand his predicament, I'd like to see the phase where the ones who want to surrender can do so but until then it's a team sport and there can only be one winner🇺🇲🇺🇦🤘
Vodka is the traditional copium, but I've also gathered that hard drug addiction is bad enough to shorten the life expectancy of russian men.
He had no problem taking the Wagner contract to go kill Ukrainian's so F him
You understand nothing.
Give this man a joint.. He needs it.
😂😂😂😂you are not serious
@@maaruth5774 I totally am. He had weed, got 6 years in prison and was sane enough to defect.... He probably has some very bad experiences from those ordeals and it has been proven that a bit of weed can give relieve. He needs and deserves a hit.
No 💩! Hell, give him an entire ounce!
😪🇪🇦 Although this man is a marginalized convict in the country that promotes terrorism and invading Russian Nazism, tells the truth about how they are deceived and selected as waste products, I hope that in Ukraine they offer a second chance to that poor man who is also victim of Russian invading genocidal Nazism.
Cómo subsiste el nazismo en Rusia si por tener uno o dos gramos de droga te encarcelan?

TROLLKANAL!!!
Price for smoking a joint in Florida $7. Price to smoke a joint in Russia, forced war criminal with execution at a blink. The understanding that even the authorities are children at play, priceless.
This guy is traumatized from the war.
Make him one of Ukraine soldiers
Sounds about right
If they were winning I bet any money this guy wouldn't be talking this way...
"What is your goal?"
"To stop other countries from joining NATO."
"And how will you accomplish this?"
"By giving countries enormous incentive to join NATO."
''And now Finland joined NATO and we have a 1272 km long border with NATO'''
Great job, Vladdy, absolutely great. You remain a master strategist.
Bullshit narrative. NATO enlargement would've happened no matter what. As it did in the past 20+ years with the US as the driving force. It was either Ukraine/Krim joining NATO or the alternative.
thats so messed up. smoking pot is nothing. Pot smokers should not be sent to fight in any country!
Severely broken man caused by pootie's madness.
Glory to Ukraine. Ukraine will be victorious! 🇺🇦💙💛🌻✨
🇺🇲♥️🇺🇦
Beasts!
Wow
🌻
Keep up your courage, relentlessness and cautiousness Ukraine. Stay strong and resilient - you will prevail!!! 🇺🇦💙💛🇺🇦
Now you know...
I am an American and I don’t want to speak out of turn. As Ukrainians, are you able to forgive men like this?
Ahh, this poor Kostin. He may look like a rough character, but he is very sharp, and knows what's what.
He's sharp alright... a hardened criminal who knows how to manipulate people... he wasn't in prison for pot... he was in a prison for murderers rappers and other violent offenders...
This is what happens when a democracy fails.
They've never been democratic though. Never.
@@hnnsy They tried after the fall of the Soviet Union, had elections, press freedom but as the history of the Russian people goes, it went.
Keep him away from war. That man is already dead inside. Poor fella.
He still went along as an enabler. He is also guilty of war crimes
"This is NOT our war". The POW summed things up precisely.
Total shell shock.....his story of life in Russia doesn't sound to far off from what we've headed for. Rich just keep getting richer while the rest struggle
6 years for a marijuana possession??!
Just awful.
Imagine being put in such a predicament.
I can't imagine it.
Putler must pay.
It's not the Russian people it's the government feel sorry for this man what choice did he have?Young men die for old mens quarrels.
They must ask each pow the identity of the man who beheaded the Ukrainian soldier!
Please 🙏 do not return this guy to Russia.
So sad
el tiene la oportunidad....que se una a Легион "Свобода России". no es lo que dices pero lo que haces...🇵🇷🇺🇦 Свободу Керчі, pal carajo el puente. US, F-15EX to Ukraine now. Make her NATO ready.
Did You notice, that when this guy looks into the camera, he,s eyes look sincere...
poor guy..
😢คงจะถูกหลอกหนือบังคับมา เห็นสภาพเขาแล้วสงสารเขานะ
Don't feel sorry for him. He's an occupant. He came to kill, there's no room for pity, for these bastards. End of story. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦💪
The problems are in all countries all over the world but ooh we have really fell sorry for this guy.Look at him,very handsome guy being wasted like this. He is talking sense. He need to be attended to and take him through counseling so that he can be fully settled and be psychologically stable. May good prevail over evil.
Shocking - POW says stuff his captors want to hear 😂😂😂
Noted ...
For record only .
Big man was just trying to smoke the good herb and ended up in absolute hell for it.
wow... jailed 6 years for weed......wow
I wonder how many rails they gave the Guy to say the exact narrative they wanted.
This beaten poor former drug addict is wiser than all of his government's staff.
I am happy for him to have stayed alive and become a POW. His testimony is valuable.
I hope he will get a chance at life now.
Prison for 6 yrs for using pot. smh. What an absolute tragedy.
No wonder since Vagner's boss is a cook.
These prisoners will say ANYTHING , upon their return, to save their a$$e$3$ , they will spout about all the "torture" they received during their captivity.
This man looks like he's going through it and I don't know if it's PTSD or drug withdrawals but something has him very off edge.
And I hate yall for not fighting back against Wagner and what you have done to Ukraine!
Yikes his PTSD will last forever.
They've been taught to Lie and gain Mercy. Off with their Heads.
Why let this guy live
😢
😢😢😢
Stand this guy up against a wall, just like what his comrades have done to the Ukraine.
I hope people listen to the truth in what he is saying
I just hope that this guy does not get prisoner swapped or else it will be the smashing hammer blow to the scull kind of ending.
This had to end now.
👇
This dude is 23 years old? Crazy 😱
He said he was born in 1986. That's 23 years ago by your math?
Я надеюсь, что украинцы выгонят русских оккупантов со своих территорий. Чтобы ни одна страна не осмелилась вторгнуться в другую.
Quietly hums Peter Gabriel song.
How do the dare the annimals
Stay in Ukraine and help rebuild her after the war. Never go back to Russia...it will not end well for you.
6 FUCKING YEARS FOR WEED THAN THIS!?!?! Thats fucked up, poor guy.
1:40 countless putin trolls were going around saying that to justify wagner’s human wave tactic.
“They also said there was a drug plant here”.
Well we’ve found the reason he joined up.
His eyes look completely psychotic
