Podcast “Ukraine – the situation”: Masala does not expect an exchange of prisoners

Military expert Carlo Masala does not expect the captured Ukrainian fighters from the Mariupol Steel Works to be exchanged. At least some of the more than 1,700 men are expected to be misused for propaganda purposes, said the politics professor at the Bundeswehr University in Munich on Friday star-Podcast “Ukraine – the situation”. “They won’t be exchanged, I don’t think so. Instead, they might be put on trial, tortured, dragged in front of the television camera,” Masala expects.

He pointed out that the soldiers had belonged to the Azov battalion and were therefore “the Nazis per se from a Russian perspective”. Extorted confessions from prisoners could be used to “ultimately suggest to the Russian people that this state – Ukraine – is a Nazi state. And thereby continue to uphold the legitimacy of the Russian Federation’s operation.”
