A captured Russian commander has begged for 'mercy' for Putin's forces attacking , saying they were duped into invading in the false belief that the government had been overthrown by Nazis and needing liberating.The man, who said he is a lieutenant-colonel in the Russian national guard's special rapid response unit, said his countrymen have been 'brainwashed' into supporting the war but - having seen the situation in Ukraine for himself - he now feels 'shame' in taking part and says Ukrainians are 'right' to resist.Mikhailovich said his doubts solidified when he saw two of his favourite boxers - and Vasiliy Lomachenko - agreeing to fight for the resistance. And in a stark message delivered to Russian troops still fighting, he said: 'I'm begging you, stop before it is too late... Russia cannot win here.'
