The Sunday Times – ‘Don’t shoot, we’re conscripts’ begged the captured Russians
The Sunday Times is one of a few papers leading with international news. The paper has spoken to Russian troops captured by Ukrainians during Kyiv’s incursion across the border. “Don’t shoot we’re conscripts” is the headline. The paper interviews some of the prisoners who opened up about the chaos and panic when Ukraine invaded and how commanders run away. One of the captured, a 22-year-old architecture student reveals that he had never expected to find himself in battle, having been told only that his compulsory military service would be spent training.
