The Ukrainian project on surrendering "I Want to Live" has published a video with dozens of Russian prisoners of war. They claim to be from Grozny and serve in "Akhmat".
The video says that the Russian soldiers were "caught deep in the rear from the border". The video goes on to say that "they tried to escape to avoid being captured, since Ramzan Kadyrov once said that Akhmat fighters do not surrender".
A Russian conscript, 22-year-old Yevgeny Kovylkin from the Belgorod region, who was previously captured near Kursk, told how they were abandoned by "Akhmatovites": "There was an "Akhmat" at the neighboring stronghold. When we were surrounded, they escaped because Kadyrov said: "Chechens do not surrender", and at any threat they run away to avoid being captured. That's why they captured us."
