Did you see the video where a Russian cut off the penis of a Ukranian prisoner?

I will give access to all my photos. Not sure I have what you want, but May of 2022 is still hard for me to watch. I can’t imagine having to be there. I begged and begged people to help ❤

[@janetsackman7510]

A thoughtful and restrained documentary about the horrors visited upon Ukraine’s prisoners of war. Such appalling atrocities, calmly articulated and presented. Bravo to the team at The Kyiv Independent who have lifted the veil on this terrible example of Russian brutality and total contempt of international norm.

[@kyivindependent]

Thank you for support!

Naazi used people as human sheilds. See the reports of the brutality committed by Ukraine.

[@danavarahi]

Powerful documentary. It is chilling to listen to the people who survived this hell. Thank you for your investigation.

[@kyivindependent]

The stories told in this documentary are, indeed, chilling, yet we want the world to know about them to keep the perpetrators responsible for their crimes. Thank you for your support.

[@tatanv1351]

Now imagine living like this since the occupation arrived In Palestine, Palestinians are being treated worse than this and if they defend themselves they are called terrorists, #FREEPALESTINE

[@danavarahi]

@@tatanv1351 The suffering of Palestinian people is also a tragedy. I can not imagine what it is like to have a loved one in Gaza or to live there especially just now. The scale of their suffering takes nothing away from suffering of Ukrainian people. Both endure horrors and we should all stand with them both.

Excellent documentary! Thankfully much has been preserved and documented. It's a harrowing tale and difficult to watch, but it's important that as many people see it as possible.

Thank you for watching. We couldn't agree more - the world needs to know about the war crimes Russia is committing in Ukraine.

[@free2dialogue]

I thank these people from the bottom of my heart for their compassion and humanity. They speak honest and authentic about the horrors of their captivity, rising above hate and revenge to simply request justice and freedom for all prisoners of war. Thank you! I am certain this film helps to raise awareness for many people - albeit I am without hope for Z-Russians, who will continue to look the other way.

There hasn't been any prisoners released since August, I believe.

Thank YOU the reporters of the Kiyv Independent for doing all the tedious work finding the perpetrators. This must stop 🛑

[@Whatshisname346]

Russians are ashamed of their troops when they get captured, this is why they don’t want them back. Ukrainians treat their defenders like hero’s and rejoice their return.

And that was only a few months into the war. I imagine new POWs are being treated much worse now, as the Russian situation only gets more desperate.

[@YourFavoriteSwiftie]

My husband was a soldier for more than 25 years. He was injured in combat. My heart goes out to ALL of these brave, brave men, women and children. These5 wounds on their hearts, bodies and minds will NEV⁵😮ER leave them. They will heal and 😅be eased with time, victory, support, love, medicine and therapy, but it will leave them with trauma that comes in ways that manifests in ways yet to be seen for them for many, many generations. I know, because our family STILL deals with his wounds physical and mental every day, despite therapy and medical care. (And losing 10 of his brothers in arms is not even close to what these Ukrainian men, women & children have lost.) Only those who have experienced war or it's affects understands fully what it means. We stand in solidarity with you until the end and appreciate you in ways we can never express properly. Thank you for your bravery and for being the last line of defense for Europe and the rest of the world. 🇺🇦🪖🥾🌍 Slava Ukraini! Heroyam Slava! 🇺🇲💙💛🇺🇦

[@phoibos810]

A powerful documentary that impressively shows the nature of the Russian aggressors. This video should be distributed worldwide on all media channels as a standard work to warn against the Russian world ("Русски Мир")! The atrocities committed by the Russians against prisoners of war or civilians who fell into their hands during their military campaigns, but also against prisoners in their own country, have been known for decades and obviously differ little from those of their ancestors. The Nazis in former Hitler's Germany would certainly have been impressed and would have taken great pleasure in the atrocities committed by the Russians.

[@grahambaker6664]

The Ukrainian Prisoner of War facilities are subject to inspection by the International Committee of the Red Cross in accordance with the Geneva Conventions. The Russians do not comply with the Geneva Conventions and routinely refuse to allow inspection of their POW facilities.

[@Whatshisname346]

Are the UN allowed investigate and report directly from Russian held territories ….. oh yeah I remember, no. Why not? Does Russia have something to hide from UN war crimes investigators? But, the Ukrainians allow the UN, Red Cross and other international institutions visit their POW camps because they have nothing to hide. So I ask you, how do ‘both Ukraine and Russia do it’? I’d love a little proof for this whataboutism.
