slogans, military bans playing patriotic kind of war songs. there was a march passed and a salute taken by by president putin as the crowd cheered and applauded and the annual display of russia, you know, impressive weaponry, you know, its tanks, its armored personnel carriers, and intercontinental ballistic missiles a reminder that russia is a very powerful nuclear power. and so that was all very impressive indeed, as we ve seen ever year, but it didn t go quite according to plan. you know, there was meant to be 77 aircraft taking to the skies above red square in a fly past. that was cancelled, we re told, because of the weather conditions. it was too cloudy for them to engage in that safely. so that sort of, you know, kind of rained on the parade a little bit, excuse the expression. and of course, vladimir putin s speech, he talked about how he, you know, he talked about not
they never gave a warning. it was just, you know, shooting at anything that moves. well, specifically, what did you learn when you were in captivity? i mean, you were there for days upon days, and specifically, i m wondering if the russian soldiers conversations gave you a glimpse of what was happening with the invasion from their perspective? well, like everybody else, in russia, they were cut off from almost any news sources of any kind, so they wouldn t know they wouldn t know from the media what was happening, but there was plenty of news trickling in from elsewhere, and they first of all, were mystified why they were still in ukraine. they were told they would be in ukraine for four or five days, and the war would be over. here they are weeks later still there. and then next to us was a medical triage unit where you could hear casualties coming in, and lots of screaming, moaning soldiers in pain, and then
