Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told Russian troops on Wednesday to avoid putting their trust in their commanders.

“Nothing is waiting for you here,” he said. “Except for captivity, except for death.”Zelenskyy’s stern warning comes after reports that Russian soldiers were misled about the war.

“You take our lives and give yours,” his address continued. “And we know we have communications interception that your commanders already understand everything.”

Zelenskyy’s stern warning comes just days after a scathing New York Times report that said Russian soldiers on the front lines in Ukraine were not told they would be going into war.
