well, that’s different, nowadays it’s difficult to speak correctly, it’s even more difficult for muscovites, as it turned out, to answer questions about what they are told by friends or relatives who are currently fighting, well, i had a friend, i have a friend, he returned, he was a volunteer, it was difficult there, of course, he returned, in general, he does not plan to go back, he certainly returned there in general, but he does not plan to go back, i am worried. i'm worried, of course , what they say, it's very difficult, very difficult, it's very difficult, very difficult, they cry, they don't say anything, they cry, they cry, nothing they do not speak, all our mothers are crying, children are fighting, they have been sent away, there are distant acquaintances, we are worried about them, i would not like to be on camera, i am afraid, it might be... it

is necessary, everything, good luck to you, god bless you. putin ordered to increase the army by 130,000 even earlier, in august last year. but when recruitment did not yield the required number, it was necessary to take the unpopular step of mobilization. now the russian authorities have decided to act more cunningly. 70% of contractors are money. 70% and it's mostly old people and they're dying for real, so i say no it is necessary, that is, there are problems in the family there, i don’t know , 45 years old, well, the house is falling apart, i don’t know , well, such situations are similar, they go after the money and most often they are provincials, there moscow, peter there is no practical at all, moscow peter are mobilized, just guys who accidentally, or somehow got caught, or something else. the important stories that i have already mentioned today are at the disposal of the media.

a letter of authorization and a special form with 22 categories of the population whom the russian authorities want to send to the war with ukraine, first of all, responsible recruitment officials have to report every week. 22 categories, 22 categories are named 22 categories are named by officials, whom to contract, first of all, these are prisoners of all kinds, and those who are under supervision, and those sentenced to probation and so on, there are only six types of various arrestees, debtors. in various dispensaries, except for neurological skins, that is, in dispensaries dealing with drug addiction, alcoholism, and various others. immigrants, people who are registered in in addition, the list includes those who do not pay taxes and, of course, the unemployed. we managed to talk with two prisoners of war from among the recruited contract workers, literally immediately after they were captured, on september 29. on september 29, he decided to sign

a contract with the ministry of defense for service in the armed forces, and advertising, some patriotic feelings, plus not even a job i was quite well, from every refrigerator go to the contract, the armed forces, there is a decent salary, decent pensions and so on. contract civil servants receive regional measures support, the status of a combat veteran, exemption from land tax, compensation for payment of services. i entered the army due to the fact that i have a difficult financial situation, i was kicked out of my home, i don't have a job, and what's more, of course , they tell the truth, they promised something completely different, they promised that no one would go to the front, and on september 15, i left in simferopol and concluded a contract. both contract workers very quickly

found themselves on the front line, and then in captivity, as for the promised payments to the contract workers, there was also deception here. this is a one-time help, well, mostly it is 19,500, and mostly we used it

to buy ourselves what we lack, there are shoes, some things, especially warm ones. that is, you received one payment and all at once. yes, i didn’t even get the salary , i didn’t have time to look, that is, i don’t know whether it came, or the salary didn’t come, that is, i don’t know, it came, it didn’t come, even the salary, that’s only very hard, only very tough guys are ready, really there, let's say if you take the prisoners, here they are ready, really everyone is ready, that is, there are a minimum of refusers, the absolute minimum, there will be two, three, five maximum refusals per 100 people. another effective method, in addition to money, to lure into the army is an amnesty for prisoners. we also received video interviews with russian prisoners of war in one of the intelligence agencies of ukraine. they came from the ministry of defense, offered a clean biography:

volunteers left. signed, like many others, without even looking at what was signed by the deputy. at the time of the full-scale invasion , there were 420,000 people in russian prisons. in the russydyashcha foundation, they say, almost in favor two years of the war, the number of prisoners decreased by a third. 50,000 was also taken from prigozhina by wagner pmc and 70 already directly by the ministry of defense. we know, we know, at least one publication is official. it was said, i think that the very average ivanovo region can be extrapolated to the whole of russia, that is , a convicted person is such a commodity of repeated military use, and according to the current

amendments to the laws that have already entered into force, directly from sizo, without waiting for a trial, having concluded agreement with the investigation, you can immediately go to the front.

in everyone's eyes, and then they took him aside and killed him. by the way, our interlocutor ihor is not afraid of going to prison in his homeland for escaping from the russian army. he says the maximum that threatens him with this is... to find himself in the war in ukraine again? i'm not afraid, to be honest, you know what will happen if they put me in prison, i'll just go to war, but this time not for a year, for six months, it will be easier. to avoid service in the russian army, especially for those categories of citizens that we have already talked about today, literally every day it becomes everything it is more difficult, the law is constantly changing, and people literally do not have time to keep up with the changes , during the work of the project, it has been going since the fall...

deserters, conscripts, contract workers, and those who are afraid, and those who find themselves in a difficult situation fit in, and do not know how to get out of it, and accordingly, the main problem is that people do not keep up with the changes, and as a result, we are forced to be the tractors that pull them out of this quagmire, into which they fall through the ropes. the organization also believes that after the elections of the russian president, which should take place in march 24, russians will be recruited even more actively into the army. this will happen endlessly, there are still elections ahead, and during these elections they will continue to promise even more money for signing a contract, everyone who goes to the military and money, and a toaster and a tv and anything else, and although lad kalina will be promised anything . fortunately, if there are opportunities, there is money, there are resources,

we will not sum up, draw your own conclusions. donbas raalii were with you, papa. greetings to all viewers of the tv channel, my name is khrystyna parobiy and we tell stories released from military captivity. in early january, there was one of the largest exchanges since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, 230 soldiers returned home, among them 225 men and five women, and today we have the opportunity to speak with... the wife of one of those who returned home, ostap reshitnyk, he is from the lviv region,

today we have olga reshitnyk in our studio. olga, i congratulate you, tell me about your first emotions, how did you find out that your husband is coming home? good afternoon, studio, actually, it was primarily a call from of the special services, as it happens in general , the very first emotions, that is, i did not believe in it , that it was really so, that... we learned to restrain ourselves, well, that is, we did not expect something immediately, so somehow at the first such emotions, they were even shocked, just a shock from which we still haven't really recovered, because somehow yes, you have two children, the way they experienced this separation from their father, because your husband was in captivity for almost two years , how, what were the children's emotions? er, my daughter, she was also shocked, she was happy, that is, she was laughing, her son had them

radically different emotions, he cried, he cried all evening, until he heard his father's voice, and the daughter was walking, saying, well, why are you crying, well, that is, dad is already waiting, dad is already in ukraine, why are you crying, on the contrary , you should be happy, and then, when they already heard their father's voice, they had radically different emotions, that is, when in... to contact the man, in fact, this period of waiting for the call, it lasted from 6 o'clock in the afternoon to almost 112 in the evening, it was such a long time period, that when we already heard this call, everyone was at home near na, well near me, there were tears, emotions, it was a shock, well, that is, but we were glad to finally hear his voice, i... the children experienced these almost two years of separation? i tried to somehow distance them a little from

this, that is, not to involve them completely in all those emotions, i tried to somehow distract them so that they would not experience this whole situation so deeply. you have a 13-year-old daughter, yustyna, and a nine- year-old son, lukyana. and let's hear now how... we met, how we talked with my father, this is the first call after the capture, we are now let's listen to yustyna roschitnyk. tell me how you found out that your father is already from... polonia, that your father is coming home, what were your first impressions, first emotions? well, the sbu called my mother and said that he was in ukraine. and my mother was not at home then, she went to the store, and here she is, somewhere around 6 in the evening, calling me and saying that my father is at home. well, i had some mixed emotions, because i was in shock, well, at first

i cried a little, but it was from happiness. and... then i didn't feel any such emotions until that moment, until he called us, with i already talked to my father, so tell me what they talked about, the first conversation, video or by phone, well, first he just called on the phone, well, we just talked about what we did during this time, while he was away, how we were doing there , whether everyone is healthy, and said that they missed each other. have you already managed to communicate via video? yes, he called us, then we showed him what we had new there, he also showed us, told us everything. it was yustyna rositnyk, the daughter of ostap reshitnyk, who was released the day before from the russian captivity please tell us about your husband, who was he at the front, when did he

go to war and why was it important for him to go to war? well, actually he is. since 2009, and when in the 14th year all these situations began, which continue to this day, he , well, every year until today, he went on rotations, they provided assistance to the military, they carried out, well, that is, all kinds of processing, that is, they primarily ensured, let's say so, the safety of our own people, they were engaged in finishing the premises, that is... from rodents, from all kinds of things, well, all these are the types of work that the sanitary services are engaged in, this is also later, he was a driver, like the sanitary ones of all services, which also provided assistance to the military, and directly to the medics themselves, because a medic he also cannot do anything without a driver, he performed all

his duties that were entrusted to him, that were needed. helped as much as he could, how did he explain his decision, why is it important for him to join the armed forces of ukraine? he always said who, if not me, how did the family react his such an act? well, we didn't object very much, because it was his vocation, he wanted to go there, he rushed there, he said, that is, that i want to be with the boys, that is , i was also needed there... so we did not object strongly to it , how the war started in 2014, this period until 2022, before the full-scale war, in which operations your husband participated, how about his life during this period of time, where he was, they were regularly sent on rotation, usually to

the military hospitals, they with military medics, with hospitals, they provided this all the help that was... needed, where , where he was, in which points, these were different points, it was mariupol, and it was, i can't even remember it anymore, because it's so many different information, and north-donetsk, well, that is, a lot of eastern areas, both above and below, well, that is , wherever they were needed, everywhere they were, you know, there are many military men, those who have been fighting since 2014, they predicted somewhere that there would be such a full-scale invasion. there will be a big war that russia will not leave ukraine, just like that, just like that. tell me, did the man foresee this somewhere, or maybe he was preparing some family for that, in fact, we did not talk about such a topic with him, and i think that eh, well, i will not assert, because i really do not know this, but he was going on a rotation on february 18, without saying anything like that,

he just went on his usual rotation, on which he went until... this february 18 , 2022, he went to mariupol, so he went on rotation to mariupol, this is the 555th mariupol hospital . how long was the man on the phone then, how long was there communication, were you able to talk to him, how often did you communicate with him, in fact, how was there no such possibility of communication, somehow it was on the 24th it all started, on the 26th. moreover, i personally spoke with him, it was literally a few minutes, and it was very short, then his daughter heard him on march 1, he asked how they were, what they were doing, and after such a full-fledged the connection that we heard his voice was lost, there were several messages from

the beginning of march until april 3rd, and the last message was on april 3rd alive healthy, and after that we never heard anything, knew nothing, we walked, waited, hoped, we still have to wait a little, he will call, he, well, that is... when one evening, i don't remember exactly whether it was it was april 30 or 31, one evening before going to sleep i was reading the russian telegram channel, i saw his photo there, well, it was a photo with an inscription that they held up, they did the right thing, surrendered their weapons, raised their hands, and so i saw that he is in captivity, first of all it was a call from the military unit to the commander, that's what it is such and such information appeared, and from that moment on it... was launched, that is, we began to look for various exits, volunteers, documents, all special services, a million calls,

a million messages, a lot of all kinds of information, faced with various moments , there were a lot of such moments of despair, in which i wanted to leave it all, because there are a lot of our special services, well, i understand that this is their job, there is information. which they can't divulge, everywhere we went the answers were the same: be patient, we're doing our best, well, but we as relatives, it was difficult , this period of unknown when we knew nothing, this period of waiting, and finally we waited for the long-awaited call, the very long-awaited message that finally he is in ukraine, the man was captured in mariupol from the factory ilycha, right? did the first ones talk at all, the first month, yes, when there was still contact with him, did the man tell something, what was the situation at the factory then, or, er, when they were already at

the factory, did they contact him there was no, the last connection is complete, it was march 1, when we heard him, then in the middle of march, as we all know, an aerial bomb was dropped on this hospital and after that full communication with him was lost, they were in bankers at zavodilich, so someone there somewhere got closer, then he wrote to his relatives , that is, that so and so, such and such a situation, that is, you did not even know what happened to your husband, we knew, we learned later that he was wounded, during captivity, it is almost two years, so you in april found out that he was already in captivity, whether it was possible to maintain any contact with man, was there any correspondence, none, nothing, where did you get your information from? information about him, unfortunately, there was no information, that is, all that was in telegram channels of russian, some, so we did not find him on any

videos anymore, and how come the situations of relatives who recorded videos there, not a single one we didn't have any information other than this photo that we saw in april until january, when there was hope for an exchange, there was always hope, we always waited, we always did. i'll tell you the truth i didn't entertain myself with such thoughts to avoid disappointment again, we just learned to live with the fact that we still need to wait a little, be patient a little, so i'll say yes, really, hope appeared when this list was posted on the network 300 people, that these people went through all the procedures, but it was perceived as another throw of information of the type: disinformation, because to hope for some logic and some real adequacy, well, unfortunately, no, it was not possible, because there is a lot

there was misinformation, but they enjoyed it, what if we take into account the entire number of prisoners that there is, and he got into the list of these 300 people, then it is still not in vain, and the hope appeared even more, but finally at least he appeared somewhere, which is really possible.. ... something will become clear, and it turned out that we did not wait for a long time after that. how much time has passed since publication, everything has passed somewhere approximately two weeks. how is your husband feeling now and when will you be able to see him? he is now in a pretty good condition, he is glad that he can finally hear the children, that he can hear their laughter, their voice. he says i'm doing my best to get to... so i can hug you all as soon as possible, he says i missed you so much, i knew you were waiting for me, i knew before me what you

would do all for me... to come back, so we are also happy to wait for him at home, you already know when you can see, some tell you, unfortunately we don't know anything yet, because it all depends on his health "yeah, that's why it's nonsense, it can wait, we already know he's here, that's why there is a connection, there is communication, that's why you can wait for those few days or weeks, we wish you to meet as soon as possible and be a whole family again, i will remind you that today we also talked with the wife of ostap reshitnyk, who was released from russian captivity on at the beginning of january by olga reshitnyk. we are waiting and hoping for each of our military men, who are now, unfortunately, in russian boot shops. thanks for being with us today, stay with espresso.
