The Occupant in Captivity Learned Ukrainian.

Vadim Kollegov from Nizhnevartovsk went to war due to financial difficulties and legal issues, but ended up in captivity. During his stay in the POW camp, he learned the Ukrainian language. This interesting story was shared in the project 'I Want to Live' on the website 'Glavcom'.

According to Vadim Kollegov, he mastered the Ukrainian language within a month, although only partially and 'little by little'. Later, he began to use Ukrainian words in his speech, which raised doubts among his compatriots.

I haven't fully learned it, just a bit for myself

After 77 days in captivity, Vadim Kollegov was exchanged and returned home. This is just one of the numerous stories of Russian occupants who found themselves on the front lines due to deception and false promises. For example, 46-year-old Dmitry Laskov from the Omsk region also ended up in captivity after dubious contract conditions with the Russian army.

A journalist from 'Glavcom' visited the largest camp for Russian prisoners of war in western Ukraine, where the conditions of confinement are harsh, and prisoners are engaged in various types of work. Recently released occupants return to their native settlements after a difficult experience in captivity.
