1. Awww Uks are so nice, when the cameras are rolling 😅

2. They afraid of the dictator fsb/kgb repercussions , thats why they cover theyr faces !!!

3. We don't know, whether these men are prisoners of war or not.

4. Isn’t that the key? They didn’t protest against their government. Yes out of fear of their own government but they don’t care what’s going. Unlike the protests during the Vietnamese war. I have no sympathy for Russians. They are all evil and selfish.

5. Thats partly just for show, why dont you go to Russia and interview rus pows who came back or Ukranian pows in Russia….

6. Ukraine believes in humanity and that life is precious. They follow the rules of war as outlined by the Geneva Convention. You will NOT see any tours of Ukrainian POWs in Russia. Those Ukrainians fortunate enough to return to Ukraine are emaciated, beaten, humiliated, and starved, all for defending their OWN sovereign homeland

7. In Russia if you don’t join the military you go to jail, that the way Russia treats its people. But Ukraine follows Geneva Convention rules and treat their POW as human beings. Unlike Russia who treat their soldiers like expendable assets.

8. We see how russian POW’s are held in Ukraine, but Russia doesnt do the same.🧐

9. It is very obvious that Putin started this war impulsively and without serious thought and planning. In the process, he failed in his primary duty, protecting the Motherland! When Russians get all the information, his days are numbered.

10. Go to Jail…

11. Propaganda and lies. Russia will win because its right. And im not even russian.

12. It is against the US to use POWs in this way. Is it legal in the EU?

13. Geneva convention doesn't apply to mercenaries like Wagner, Rusich, Storm z as they all terrorists and murderers!

14. “War in Ukraine”? I think it was more about war in Kursk, Russia. No?

15. Yes because Ukraine are Human
    Return the Ukrainian

16. Yes because Ukraine are Human
    Return the Ukrainian

17. If I was them I be begging to stray so I don’t get thrown back into another meat wave a track Because now one cares about us at least you guys care about Human Life not like our country our criminal Leaders/ Government just want to kill as many of us as they can,
    But I do Agree with the Ukraine Soldiers but they couldn’t have stopped it but the problem with theses Young men they are brainwashed and uneducated that’s why they do this because the smart ones left the country so they didn’t have to be used as meat to the slaughter want a waste of life on both sides because of a mad man.

    Glory to Ukraine
    Glory to the Defender ❤❤❤❤❤

18. A russian POW talks to france 24 in an ukrainian show jail… the recipe for truth 🙂

19. How you treat prisoners is a reflection of your society.

20. Western propaganda 🤡

21. Ukraine seems to be doing great in this conflict. Maybe we can stop sending them all our money now.

22. its crazy that Russian pow goes home fat while Ukrainian comes home barely recognizable

23. They are feeling very warm and receiving delicious food 🥘 every 🥘 meal.

24. It all hinges on who takes power in the United States in January. Harris: a chance at a free Ukraine. Trump: negotiations on Putin's terms, followed by more expansionist quests once he rearms. Slava Ukraini!

25. Of course, humanity and naturally non sympathy for what Ukraine had suffered not now but in years by Russia!!!
    Anyway, the behaviour of Ukraine shows such a respect for human lives, which is part of their culture. Slava Ukraini ❤️.

26. Those volunteers and conscripts have more rights in that prison than they have in their own motherland.

27. I hope the textured wall is not the "popcorn" type that may contain asbestos – please be careful.

28. Hiding their faces says it all.

29. TV?

30. What more proof is needed for the russian people to see how putin manipulates them. Rise up and free yourself and join the free world.

31. But wouldn't forming more personal relationships with them, especially the young ones be more likely to help lead to an uprising? Wouldn't making friends with them, especially the young ones help the truth about the war and the Ukrainian people disseminate amongst the Russian population upon their return?

32. All sheep.

33. this is exactly like in movie: The Boy in the Striped Pajamas.
    they film propaganda movies to put show. this boys actually sitting in some kind of concentration camp. they locked up and dont even allowed outside to get some sunlight, this is pure torture

34. ❤

35. I am so tired of hearing "it either that or go to jail" from Russians. If we rephrase it, it will be. "it's either go kill other people and eventually die or go to jail, so obviously I chose first one".

36. Cold, but efficient.

37. Life under a dicktator

38. Meanwhile, russians are killing our POWs, by starving, and frequent beating. You can see the proof of my words, by just comparing 2 images of POWs from Ukraine and russia, and you will see that our soldiers were starving for a long time – they very thin, skinny, and barely walking, while russains are getting back from POW camp, well fed like they've been on vacation, not prison. That’s just as said below, How you treat prisoners is a reflection of your society.

39. Go Ukraine!

40. They are treated better in Ukrainian prison than the russian army

41. Publicity stunt

42. Called PROPAGANDA!!!. Ukraine treated prisoners like garbage

43. Trust me when I say, these soldiers MUCH rather be in this POW camp than back in the trenches.

44. THANKYOU WARDEN. The Russian people failed to resist the govt attempt at war so EACH AND EVERY Russian citizen bares responsibility for this war. Period.

45. Russians is a dictator country. No free will at all
