He fought on the side of Russia.

58-year-old Vadim Zaikovsky from Gomel ended up in Ukrainian captivity. He signed a contract with the Russian army and served in the 245th Guards Motorized Rifle Regiment, Radiyo Svaboda reported.

He said he came to the Russian Rostov to earn money, but after getting drunk, he went to the military enlistment office in a drunken state. The same day he was sent to the front.

Zaikovsky said that he received neither salary nor due payments, and admitted that he went to war because of his own stupidity: "If I had been smarter, I would not have gone to war."

The video with the prisoner was published in the Telegram channel "Don't wait for me from Ukraine."
