Captured Russian soldiers fear death by firing squad if they return home from Ukraine

Russian soldiers captured by Ukrainian forces have said they are afraid of death by firing squad if they are returned home.

Speaking at a press conference in Kyiv, a soldier from the 2nd Motor Rifle Division said he fears being killed if he is returned to Russia, reported the Daily Telegraph on Thursday.

'In Russia, we are already considered dead,' said one of the captured soldiers. 'I was given the opportunity to call my parents and they told me that a funeral for me had already been arranged.

'If we are exchanged, then we will be shot by our own people.'

Another captured Russian soldier described on Tuesday how he was shot at by his fellow troops when they tried to protect Ukrainian civilians.

According to the captured Russian soldier, his comrade, a lieutenant, was killed by his own side when trying to save a woman in her 20s, and her mother, after Russian soldiers were given orders to fire on civilians on February 24 in Kharkiv.
