Stepan Tkachuk is in Ukrainian captivity for the second time. Right after the exchange, what awaited him was not discharge, not even leave or rehabilitation, but being sent back to the front again.

All the care the Russian state shows for its servicemen who have been through “mortal danger in captivity” (as the Russian Defense Ministry usually writes) comes down to filtration in the barracks of military unit 61899 in the Mosrentgen military settlement. The men are kept locked up for several weeks, interrogated by FSB officers, and then thrown back to the front line. Stepan went through all of this as well.

No one paid attention either to his serious health problems or to his requests to see his relatives. Tkachuk, along with others returned from captivity, was first fed fairy tales that they would be sent back to their units and transferred to serve in the rear, but in the end they were sent to the “penal units.”

Stepan is far from the first and not the last “repeat customer” telling the truth about the treatment of former prisoners of war in the Russian army. People like him, after being sent back to the front, usually surrender to the Ukrainians right away, because they already know that captivity poses no threat to them.
