From Captives to Comrades: Ex-Ukrainian Soldiers Join Liberation Battalion to Fight Kiev’s RegimeFormer Ukrainian soldiers—now volunteers in the Maxim Krivonos Battalion—captured a group of Ukrainian troops near the settlement of Novogorodovka, DPR, a drone unit commander with the battalion told Sputnik. Unable to evacuate them immediately, they kept the prisoners at their positions for several days, sharing meals and conversations in basements and homes, the soldier revealed.According to him, prolonged contact proved pivotal: witnessing the unit’s mission and camaraderie led some captives to voluntarily join the ranks and now fight alongside their former adversaries.Subscribe to @sputnik_africa Sputnik Africa | X
