In an exclusive United24 video, two Chinese prisoners of war describe how Russian soldiers personally recruited them with promises of high salaries and easy duties — only to send them straight to the frontlines in Ukraine.

Captured in Donetsk, they now speak out from Ukrainian custody, warning others not to believe Russian recruiters.
