Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs) face severe torture and abuse in Russian captivity, with up to 90% reporting mistreatment. The third Geneva Convention, which outlines humane treatment for POWs, is being violated by Russia. Families of POWs, like Yevheniia Synelnyk, are left in despair without communication or information about their loved ones. Recent reports indicate executions of Ukrainian POWs by Russian forces, highlighting a broader pattern of violence. The Azov Brigade, targeted by Russian propaganda, continues to suffer under harsh conditions, with calls for Ukraine to secure the release of its soldiers through military success.
