"It was some gas, it was impossible to breathe," Van Guangjun said. He had already lost consciousness when he was "grabbed by the collar and pulled out of the armor. " The Chinese also reported that they were "treating well" in captivity and giving the water and everything they needed. Asked how he found himself in the ranks of the Russian army, Van Guangjun said that he had "lived a regular life" earlier, but lost his work as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, so he decided to "earn".
According to him, service in the Russian army is promoted by certain Chinese bloggers and platforms - in particular, Tiktok. Another prisoner, Zhang Renbo, said that he came from a rather wealthy family, and went to Russia first to travel, and only then wanted to "make money". China's citizens claim that they did not know about joining the war.
In particular, Van Guangjun said he wanted to work solely with "wounded rehabilitation", and when he realized that it was not true, "it was impossible to do anything. " The prisoners stated that the Russian Federation "used their trust. " Even Van Guangzun and Zhang Renbo reported that they came from Moscow first to Russian Rostov and then to the occupied Donetsk. Both were captured in Donetsk region; One is in the Tarasivka area, the other is near Bigorivka.
Both expressed their desire to return to China - despite the fact that they are threatened with punishment for participating in hostilities. Earlier, we wrote that Russia recruits China citizens to the ranks of its army through advertising videos that it spreads on Chinese social networks. In particular, these rollers are offered payments of up to 200,000 yuan (about 1 133 000 UAH) and social benefits.
