Propagandist Polynkov demands that Russian conscripts captured in the Kursk region not be exchanged

Russian propagandist Mikhail Polynkov called on Russia not to exchange soldiers captured by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region. He believes that Russian soldiers do not deserve to return to Russia, since they surrendered without a fight, Censor.NET reports.

"I saw it yesterday. Our fortified area, built well, gorgeous, a luxury war, without any appearance that it was defending itself. They surrendered it without a fight. And now the Ukrainian side is using these prisoners of war to take back their last "Azov" soldiers who are in our captivity. Yes, not all of them were exchanged for Medvedchuk, there are still some. I will say something unpleasant for many, especially for the parents of those guys who are in captivity. But they cannot be exchanged. They cannot, because they surrendered without a fight," said Polynkov.
