The story of 19-year-old Russian Vladislav Naumov is an example of how one wrong decision can change a whole life. He was imprisoned for drug distribution and went to war in Ukraine.

    At least he surrendered. So long as he’s smart enough to not return to ru until after the war is over he has his whole life ahead of him.

      Unfortunately/fortunately he may be used in a prisoner exchange.

          My understanding is they get the choice if they call the surrender line or otherwise seek surrender. If they’re captured they don’t get a choice.

          I was unaware of this. I thought it was mandatory.

          If that’s true, I hope this guy chooses to stay in Ukraine.
