Captured #ukraine POW #aiden on the call with mom. She most likely saw him for the first time since his capture yet jumped straight to the questions about the other POW. No wonder this guy has been roaming the world from conflict to conflict. I feel sad for him. Pt2 below.
In second part he says that command abandoned them in Mariupol and he’s even planning on escaping the contract, even if he have time on it left. That definitely won’t make him a valuable part for #kyiv exchange though as it’s a really, really bad PR
Okay, situation gets funny. At the moment pro-Ukraine side started calling #aiden a Russian propagandist and claiming “it was obvious, even when he was with YPG he was pro Russia” and essentially calling him a Kremlin asset. Praised hero yesterday, hated enemy today 🤨
If you don’t believe me - there you have. That’s the gratefulness to someone who risked his own life to fight for the cause he believed in, yet as soon as he said something against the treatment - being vilified. I don’t agree with what he did but come on… bit of consistency! 
Aiden attempted to ask the BBC producer to organise an interview which could help with his release as a part of prisoner exchange. Please note that he’s using and unidentified Italian journalist number.
