As Ukrainians are released from captivity. Maxim Kolesnikov's story is a military man with an apple

February 1, 2023. Five people, among whom I was taken away from different cameras, dressed in the form of Ukrainian military and early in the morning and put in tied eyes. We were taken to a military airport for several hours. Of course, it was hoped that we were being taken to exchange, but there was also fear that it was transportation to another prison - we knew that it happened, and that we could threaten a new admission - the most unpleasant and painful measure in prison.

Already at the airport we have been waiting for a long time - three hours, maybe more, and sitting all the time with adhesive tape over the hats stretched on the eyes. In the end, we were raised and dragged to the plane. One chief of the military police, who was on the plane, said that we are being taken to exchange, but because of bad weather they do not have time to bring everyone, so the exchange will be the next day.

Then we flew to the Kursk region, took the group of captives there, then in Belgorod, there someone joined us. After that we were transferred to another transport - this time in minibuses. It was already the final signal - the exchange. We were left to wait again. Then transported to another location. There were suddenly commanded: to remove the adhesive tape, remove the hats. Further in the minibus came the Chechen. There were three of them, one all the time shot us on the iPhone.

Another said that he is a deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation and the organizer of the exchange on their part. Then it went. Like, the Ukrainian side breaks the exchange. As it seemed that everything was agreed, all the Russians did, but in the last moment, contrary to all previous arrangements, Ukrainian managers wanted to add Azov in exchange, and for those criminal cases and terrible crimes.

And good Russians already want to give us, worry about us and our families, who do not know anything about us strangely, but here bad Ukrainian officials think only of the Azov and do not want to take us away. And here is what this beautiful deputy suggested to us - you say, write down the appeals, they will be shown, but let the family protest against such an attitude, let them come out, call everyone call, raise the public.

Because if they are not exchanged the next day, they will return to prisons again. And it is painful. There was both one people, and "no one needs this war except politicians. " We already knew about the true reason why the exchange that day was. But, unfortunately, there were two people who still recorded an appeal about the "breakdown of the Ukrainian side" on the camera. I had my moment temptation. The Chechen suggested that we call our family.

I have not talked to my wife for more than 10 months, so I raised my hand in response to the question: "Who wants to communicate with my relatives?" But when I saw that even such a conversation was filmed and suggested that my relatives should tell "the breakdown of the exchange", I lowered his hand and pulled his hat on his eyes . . . In two days, two days were brought to the camp where we were kept in anticipation. They could not be brought from captivity because of a paper mess and bad weather.
