"Emotional Encounter": Yarmak revealed details of his conversation with a fan who fought for Russia.

"It was an emotional meeting. I was preparing to encounter a more or less convinced 'imperialist' who clearly understood what he was doing here. However, perhaps I’m justifying him internally, but it seems he genuinely ended up in Ukraine due to life circumstances," shared the serviceman.

He explained that once in the ranks of the Russian Armed Forces, Russians truly have no choice about where to go. Those who refuse to follow orders are eliminated by their own.

"There’s no need to feel sorry for him at all. This is a classic story of the average Russian, where life presents a terrible situation — debts, problems, and so on — and they seek even more adventures, ultimately dying like an animal without a trace. It’s the classic tale of self-destruction among Russians," emphasized Yarmak.

The rapper sensed that his fan from Russia genuinely regretted his actions, as they also spoke off-camera.

"It felt like he was speaking sincerely, that there was no fabricated legend or game involved," he recalled.

Yarmak mentioned that counterintelligence agents with experience in communicating with the occupiers confirmed the existence of "such a class of unfortunate individuals," and Vladimir is one of them.

Recall that 23-year-old prisoner of war Vladimir initially didn't realize who he was speaking with, but later confessed that he respects Ukrainian performer Alexander Yarmak. The Russian revealed that he signed the contract while intoxicated, expecting to serve in a unit. Instead, the recruit found himself on the front lines, too afraid to flee due to the fear of being shot.

Serviceman Alexander Yarmak shared that during their conversation, the occupier requested not to be sent back to Russia. As of the end of October 2024, Vladimir was in a colony where he was kept under "normal conditions" and "was not mistreated".
