Unless the Russians somehow erase their Ukrainian captives' minds, if they're not imprisoned they'll make it back home again when this is over.



They don't need to erase any minds; I seriously doubt Putin's Russia will allow these captives to walk freely. They will be imprisoned or placed in remote camps. Russia is big enough that these captives can be easily disappeared. Solzhenitsyn, in GuLag Archipelago, documents many hundreds of thousands of foreigners forced into the camp system never to resurface. Putin's regime will have no problem lying with a straight face that "we never saw these people, we don't know what you're talking about", and meanwhile these folks will be dying in Kolyma or some other forgotten mining center/lumber field etc.
 

KYIV, Sept 8 (Reuters) - Ukraine has recaptured more than 700 sq km (270 sq miles) of its territory in the east and south during a lightning counteroffensive, a Ukrainian general said on Thursday, offering the first official assessment of the operation.

The gains, if confirmed and held, would be a serious blow for Russia, which Western intelligence services say has suffered huge casualties. They would also represent a big boost for Kyiv, which is keen to show its Western backers that it can change the facts on the ground by force and deserves continued support.



 
Message from Putin to all Russian people.

Don't worry, we have them where we want them, it's all going according to plan
