On the flip side, a recent [video](https://twitter.com/mjluxmoore/status/1499012343581364224?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1499012343581364224%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fpeople.com%2Fpolitics%2Fvideo-russian-soldier-fed-ukraine-citizens-allowed-call-home%2F) showing a young Russian soldier experiencing the kindness of several Ukrainians after he surrendered has made its round on the internet. ![Russian soldier who surrendered treated with tea and pacakes by Ukraine 2](https://cdn.weirdkaya.com/media/Russian-soldier-who-surrendered-treated-with-tea-and-pacakes-by-Ukraine-2.jpg)Screengrab via Twitter/[@mjluxmoore](https://twitter.com/mjluxmoore/status/1499012343581364224?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1499012343581364224%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fpeople.com%2Fpolitics%2Fvideo-russian-soldier-fed-ukraine-citizens-allowed-call-home%2F) ## 'Everything is okay' In the video, the soldier, who was clad in camouflage and visibly fatigued, is given food and hot tea by a young Ukrainian while a woman with purple hair makes a call to the soldier's mother. ![Russian soldier who surrendered treated with tea and pacakes by Ukraine 4](https://cdn.weirdkaya.com/media/Russian-soldier-who-surrendered-treated-with-tea-and-pacakes-by-Ukraine-4.jpg)Screengrab via Twitter/[@mjluxmoore](https://twitter.com/mjluxmoore/status/1499012343581364224?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1499012343581364224%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fpeople.com%2Fpolitics%2Fvideo-russian-soldier-fed-ukraine-citizens-allowed-call-home%2F) As soon as the soldier's mother picks up the call, a bystander tells her that her son is safe and sound. > **Stand up, lady! Stand up and get people riled up! Look, your son is alive and uninjured and nothing bad will happen to him.** Upon hearing those words, the soldier's mum became emotional and said "Yes! Oh God!" ![](https://cdn.weirdkaya.com/media/Russian-soldier-who-surrendered-treated-with-tea-and-pacakes-by-Ukraine-3.jpg)Screengrab via Twitter/[@mjluxmoore](https://twitter.com/mjluxmoore/status/1499012343581364224?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1499012343581364224%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fpeople.com%2Fpolitics%2Fvideo-russian-soldier-fed-ukraine-citizens-allowed-call-home%2F) The bystander then continues to say: > **Get the kids home. He shouldn't be here. He didn't even know where he was going.** **They [the Russians] are using old maps and boozing."** Watch the full video here: > Video shared on Ukrainian channels of a captured Russian soldier apparently being fed by locals. The post says he burst into tears when he was allowed to video-call his mother. So many of these troops are just teenagers, with absolutely no clue what this war is really for.
