  1. 10:29 There is still a chance that her son will survive and receive treatment: by managing to surrender to Ukrainian forces. I want to live isn't a vain title. Ukraine sure isn't in an excellent shape, but they sincerely practice medicine. To flee directly to another country might be too difficult in his situation, unless he benefit from the help of opponents to V.V.Putin's policy. His mother should contact anti-Putin Russians in Georgia who could help her flee to a free country, and perhaps find her son afterwards. She should then write to the UN to denounce the violation of human rights by the Russian authorities. Apart from the risk of surrendering to Ukrainian forces when his comrades might want to punish any deserters, or of being killed by bombardments or raids before managing to escape, the second danger is of being exchanged for Ukrainian prisoners after being rescued, which would take him back to Russia and put him at risk of being conscripted again. Perhaps he could avoid this by going missing and avoiding being officially claimed by relatives from Russia. It would be nice, however to negotiate a special status with the Ukrainians so he doesn't end up being a burden for Ukraine. Of course, if he has committed crimes in Ukraine, for example by obeying criminal orders, he might as well be sent to a prison for his crimes. But that's usually considered better than death by long agony caused by shrapnels.
