Description
AFP speaks to two Russian prisoners of war in the Donetsk region who were captured after getting lost trying to return to Russian lines. They speak about the limited training they received before being sent to fight. AFP could not establish how free the POWs were to express themselves. Meanwhile, elsewhere on the Donetsk frontlines, Ukrainian callsign Kurt explains how Russia will let "100-150" of its troops be killed to advance by one row of trees. "We are just having cannon fodder thrown at us," he says. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES ARRANGED IN SEQUENCES
