"There were two Poles. Colombian one, American one, German one and Irish one. There were Japanese, four more Japanese people," the prisoner said.
According to him, foreigners and Ukrainians were taught the same thing — shooting, throwing grenades, marching, storming trenches, night shooting and the basics of engineering.
