The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) says Russia has formed combat units involving Ukrainian prisoners of war, raising concerns over possible violations of international humanitarian law. Russia’s Ministry of Defense’s Volunteer Corps announced the creation of a “Ukrainian volunteer special forces brigade,” claiming it includes former Ukrainian soldiers and alleged defectors. ISW said the use of prisoners of war in military formations would violate protections under the Geneva Convention, which prohibits forcing captured soldiers into service for the detaining power. The allegations come amid wider concerns over the treatment of Ukrainian POWs held in Russian captivity, with Ukrainian officials accusing Moscow of systematic abuse. #russiaukrainewar #ukrainewar #ukrainianpows #russianmilitary #genevaconvention #iswreport #putin #russianews #ukrainenews #warupdate #geopolitics #militaryconflict #prisonerofwar #internationallaw #easterneurope #battlefieldnews #globalsecurity #warcri
