My understanding is it is their choice whether to be used in a swap or not. Has that changed?

My understanding is they get the choice if they call the surrender line or otherwise seek surrender. If they're captured they don't get a choice.

I was unaware of this. I thought it was mandatory.

If that's true, I hope this guy chooses to stay in Ukraine.

I would assume they can offer not to exchange you, in return for e.g. making a statement like this. Kid would be tortured and killed back in Russia after this video

I wonder, in a cold world, if Ukraine would care about that, if a Ukrainian could be saved.

I would hope yes, they would care
