If we don't conquer Ukraine now... We're losing everything!
▪︎ We will not receive shale gas deposits in the Kharkiv and Donetsk regions.
▪︎ We will not get such" critical raw materials " as lithium, cobalt, scandium, graphite, tantalum, niobium and others... which Ukraine is rich in.
▪ ▪ We will not get a source of bread and food... where there are huge reserves, surplus bread, but it is difficult to take them immediately, there is still Bandera...
▪ ▪ We must move at least three million companies from northern hungry Russia to Ukraine.
▪ Помістити to place an army of one and a half million in Ukraine, closer to the EU borders, so that they tremble...
▪︎ In the occupied territories, it is necessary to expand the use of shootings and post all this on social networks...
Fear is our main weapon.
Without this, it is impossible to build the Russia of the future.
Without law enforcement agencies and other similar organizations with punitive functions, the Russian Federation cannot exist as an empire.

1/ .In Russian captivity: what is happening to the Ukrainian military outside the walls of Russian prisons.The first prisoner exchange since the beginning of a full-scale war took place on March 1, 2022 in Sumy region. Then five Ukrainian servicemen were returned from captivity. From that time until June 15, 2023, 43 more exchanges are known. In total, about 2.5 thousand Ukrainian army soldiers were returned from captivity. There is no exact number of prisoners who are currently in the Russian Federation, but we are talking about thousands of people. Some of them are being held in the occupied territories of Donetsk and Luhansk regions, but most of them were taken to Russia by Russians.42 places of detention in the Russian Federation — pre-trial detention centers and Correctional colonies-were identified. They are located both in the regions bordering Ukraine and in the interior of the country. On the eve of a full-scale invasion or after February 24, 2022, they were released from Russian citizens. Russian prisoners remained in their places of detention as personnel.From February 24, 2022 to June 15, 2023, documentary filmmakers interviewed more than 50 servicemen released from Russian captivity during exchanges. Analyzing the collected evidence, it is clear that Russia uses systematic policies and methods of treating Ukrainian prisoners. They are common to all places of detention. We are talking, in particular, about inadequate conditions of detention of prisoners, physical and moral torture, poor nutrition and poor-quality, and in some places there is no medical care at all. 2/ .The vast majority of military personnel say that immediately after being captured, Ukrainian soldiers are beaten, interrogated with physical violence, and kept in a basement, pit, or temporary prisoner-of-war camp for several days. After that, the prisoners are taken to places of permanent detention — to pre-trial detention centers or colonies. They are transported in overcrowded trucks, blindfolded, without food or water, and are often subjected to physical violence. Moving from the truck to the cells in the place of detention is called acceptance by prisoners. This process is the same everywhere. The prisoners are taken out of their cars, near which they are waiting for a line of Russian special forces in full combat readiness — with batons and stun guns. Passing by them, prisoners of war are subjected to crushing, powerful and massive blows from the Russian military, who hit them on various parts of the body using batons and stun guns. Most often they hit you on the back and legs.Even prisoners with serious injuries, combat medics and prisoners with amputations go through the brutal admission procedure, regardless of age, gender or health status. After that, fingerprints and DNA samples are taken from all military personnel who were captured in the Russian Federation. They are also photographed. Sometimes they do a blood test. Subsequently, they are given prison uniforms, their personal belongings are taken away and taken to their cells.The conditions of detention depend on the institution where prisoners of war are placed. Pre — trial detention centers are a classic prison with heavy metal doors, barred windows, iron bunks and a toilet inside. The cell accommodates from 2 to 20 people. Additional bunks are often added. Those who do not have enough space in the cell are sent to the punishment cell — a solitary cell located in the basement of the institution, where Russians often hold up to four prisoners. In correctional colonies, the Ukrainian military is placed in barracks, where prisoners live in large rooms designed for 10-50 people. Sometimes there can be about 100 people in such a room, former prisoners compare them to military barracks. There, people have a little more freedom of movement than in the pre-trial detention center, because they are taken to the dining room for a meal, and each barrack has its own courtyard. Colonies also have penal isolation cells-the same cells as in pre-trial detention centers.

1/ .Torture, hunger, and humiliation. The released Ukrainians told about the Russian captivity!In September last year, senior lieutenant Artem Srednyak had already been held captive for four months when he and 50 other Ukrainians were transferred to pre-trial detention center No. 2 in Taganrog. For several hours they were driven in the back of a truck blindfolded and their hands tied to each other, says Srednyak.
In Taganrog, he recalls, they were met by an officer: "Congratulations, guys. Do you know where you're going? Here you will rot for the rest of your life." The prisoners were silent. According to the Middle peasant, they were taken inside the building, fingerprinted, stripped, shaved and forced to take a shower.
At every step, guards with black batons and metal rods beat them on the legs, arms or "wherever they wanted," recalls the Middle peasant. "They call it 'acceptance'.Before captivity, the 27-year — old middle peasant led a sniper platoon of the Azov Regiment, the main military force of Mariupol. This, he said, made him the main target of the jailers.
Artyom said that he was separated from the others and brought to the first interrogation in his underwear. Then they pushed me to the floor with my head down. They asked about his role in the army and the tasks he performed. After that, according to Artem, they were stabbed in the back, groin and neck with a stun gun,
"This is how they treated everyone," says the former prisoner. "They're hammering you in like a nail."In May last year, when Mariupol was under Russian siege, the Ukrainian authorities ordered hundreds of soldiers stationed at the Azovstal iron and steel works to surrender to the Russians in order to save their lives. The middle peasant was one of the last. First, he was brought to a penal colony in Yelenovka, Donetsk region, and a few months later he was transferred to a prison in Taganrog.
There, according to him, prisoners were checked twice a day, and the reason for bullying the guards could be anything. "They beat you for anything they want, they can do it just like that. I didn't like the way you ran out of the camera: either too slowly, or your arms too low, or your head too high. They were beaten for all this." 2/ .During one of these checks, the Middle peasant was asked if he had a girlfriend. He replied "Yes", to which the security guard said: "Give us her Instagram, we know that all the girls are there. Now we'll text her or take a picture of you and send it to her." To protect the girl, Artyom lied that she did not have an account in this social network. He was beaten again.
After one of the beatings, when the Middle peasant was thrown into the basement of the prison, he met a Ukrainian of about twenty years. According to Artem, The guy was holding hands, and said that Russian officers stuck needles under his nails.Special cruelty, according to the Middle peasant, in the pre-trial detention center was shown to the "azovites". During interrogations, he was accused of looting Mariupol, of personally ordering his soldiers to kill civilians in the city. The middle peasant denied all the charges, but it didn't matter. "Until you say what interests them, exactly in the direction they want to hear it,"says Artyom," they won't stop hitting you."
Once, the Middle peasant recalls, a Russian officer hit him with a wooden chair and "beat him so much that he fell apart." Another day, he was asked if he could sing the "anthem of Azov". He did not understand what they were talking about, and suggested that the guards were referring to the "prayer of a Ukrainian nationalist" — a patriotic text written in the late 1920s, which Ukrainian soldiers usually read aloud before battle. The middle peasant reluctantly recited it, realizing what the reaction might be.After that, the jailers hit him several times. He fell, hitting his head against the wall and breaking an eyebrow. However, they continued to beat him, already knocked down.
"When I finally got up,"Artyom recalls," I was told, ' I hope we beat this out of you.'
Some jailers appear to have been strongly influenced by President Putin's statements about Ukraine's "denazification". Therefore, everything that in their opinion was pro-Nazi aroused particular interest, in particular, tattoos of prisoners.34-year-old senior sergeant of "Azov" Sergey Rotchuk, who got to Taganrog a week after the Middle peasant, says that the guards often beat him for tattoos.
They were " looking for a swastika or something." But " in fact, any tattoo was enough to make you think you were the bad guy."
Rotchuk, who was a doctor before the war, also has a tattoo. A few weeks ago, when we met in Kiev, he picked up his T-shirt and showed me a drawing of a raven on his chest, and on his left thigh he has the emblem of the Jedi Order from "Star Wars"."Did you have any problems because of these tattoos? I asked.
"Many times," Rotchuk replied. "They said,' What is this? Oh, I'll beat you up for that."
The guards applied current to Rotchuk, but he resisted. He was sent to the punishment cell for two months. According to him, beatings occurred almost daily, and sometimes several times a day.
Rotchuk recalled one officer who seemed to enjoy being kicked in the chest, which caused him constant pain. He complained, but got no help. "I had to say to myself,' Dude, Be strong, you can't control the situation, you have to accept this, '" Rotchuk recalls.
