[RIA Novosti] The Russian Defense Ministry has published the first video of captured Ukrainian servicemen from the Azovstal plant, who are now undergoing treatment in the DPR. “I am in a hospital in the city of Novoazovsk . My attitude is normal. They don’t have a neurophysical or psychological effect on me. They looked at my leg, they said that everything is fine. The food is excellent,” Viktor Shaposhnikov, a captured soldier of the Ukrainian troops, said in the video of the Ministry of Defense. Captured serviceman of the National Guard of Ukraine Daniil Zhuchenko, for his part, agreed that "the content is excellent, the attitude is excellent." According to the young man, as a result of a shrapnel wound, a tendon on his leg was broken. "They help, treat. They said that after six months of rehabilitation, in theory, everything will be fine," he added. That is until a Russian prosecutor gets started. According to the Russian Defense Ministry , over the past 24 hours, 694 servicemen and militants of the Azov battalion (against the members of which criminal cases are being investigated in Russia) surrendered from Azovstal, including 29 wounded. In just two days, 959 people laid down their arms, including 80 wounded. Of these, 51 required inpatient treatment, they were hospitalized in the city of Novoazovsk in the DPR. |
