When Ukraine launched its surprise incursion into Russia’s Kursk Oblast on Aug. 6, Russian soldiers manning the border, unprepared for such an attack, were captured in their hundreds.

Most of the prisoners of war captured in the offensive were conscript soldiers, but some had voluntarily signed a contract to fight in Ukraine for money.

At a detention facility in an undisclosed location, the Kyiv Independent interviewed one contract soldier captured in Kursk Oblast.

To convey a better idea of what the thoughts and motivations of the average Russian soldier are in 2024, the Kyiv Independent is publishing this interview in full.

This conversation was filmed and published with the full consent of the subject, in keeping with international law.
