The face on that guy in the back is priceless. Despite them being conquerors in Putin's invading army, it makes me feel bad for them. They are clearly not trained to a level they should be. They seem to lack experienced leadership close to them. Getting stuck in an elevator probably could have been prevented with the right people around. all of those guys look pretty young to me. Hopefully they laid down their weapons and allowed themselves to be taken POW so they could get some hot food and calls to their loved ones. Despite Putin's attempts to crack down on information getting to the people, I'm sure it's still getting through to their families.
