Ukrainian POWs returned to Ukraine
So far, several cases of exchange of prisoners of war (POW) between Russia and Ukraine have been confirmed.
On April 1, a prisoner exchange took place in the Zaporozhye region. Ukraine received 86 soldiers, including 15 women. The Russian side also reportedly received 86 servicemen, but the number was not confirmed.
Photos of the Ukrainian military who returned for the POWs exchange were immediately shared by the Ukrainian military. Judging by the footage, everyone is safe, healthy and well-fed.
In turn, the Russian side did not share photographs of Russian prisoners. This fact raised suspicions that Russian servicemen had been tortured.

On March 23, the Russian Foreign Ministry confirmed 2 other exchanges of POWs. However, it was not clarified what exact cases were confirmed.
Earlier, it was revealed that the mayor of Melitopol was changed to 9 Russian servicemen. Another exchange of 1 Russian soldier for 5 members of the so-called territorial defence was reported in the Sumy region.
Meanwhile, the Russian Ministry of Defence reported that the Kiev authorities had been disrupting exchanges of prisoners of war.
On April 6, another planned exchange of prisoners was disrupted by the Ukrainian side.
The Russian MoD reported: “The list of 251 servicemen declared for exchange was repeatedly clarified during the day, the number of prisoners of war was repeatedly reduced, the list agreed at the last stage in the amount of only 38 servicemen, this morning, by the Ukrainian side was also rejected without explanation.
At the same time, on the part of the Russian Federation, all of 251 Ukrainian prisoners of war were delivered to the initially agreed area.”
Taking into account the above, the Russian side has every reason to believe that there is something wrong with the servicemen of the Russian Armed Forces who are in captivity, the Russian MoD added.
On the same day, the Commissioner for Human Rights in the Russian Federation claimed that she had a list of Russian officers from the Crimea who, while being held captive in Ukraine, are allegedly not subject to exchange and can be executed. It was clarified that Russia would check this information and requests would be made to the Ukrainian side and international bodies.
Numerous cases of execution and torture of Russian POWs by Ukrainian servicemen had been confirmed. Some of them were confirmed by the footage shared by the Ukrainian Nazis. Following such cases, Kiev authorities prohibited to “share videos of murders of Russian POWs online”, but not to commit war crimes.
The Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation claimed that Ukraine had officially informed its Western allies that it does not intend to comply with the Geneva Convention on the Treatment of Prisoners of War.
Such a policy of the Kiev regime, as well as new footage of tortures shared online, confirm the inability of Kiev authorities to control nationalist forces in the AFU, as well as numerous foreign mercenaries and thugs who came to fight in Ukraine.
The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation shared testimonies of Russian servicemen released from captivity in Ukraine, who confirm murders and violation by the Kiev regime of the Geneva Convention on the Treatment of Prisoners of War.
“They put us up against a brick wall and there were a lot of people with guns, and everyone offered to do something to us: shoot us in the legs, just kill us. They were just chatting among themselves at this point and offering their ideas. There was only one person who said we shouldn’t, because prisoners were needed for something. Since there were comrades who had their legs shot and couldn’t move fast, they were dragged, either pushed forward or beaten in order to get them to walk. We were kept in some kind of gymnasium, sleeping on the floor. It was cold at night. Constantly, when a shell came, we could hear the doors opening and the Ukrainian military beating the pilots. Two pilots were kept with us and they were constantly beaten, not allowed to sleep. At various times at night you could hear the phrase: “Pilots, are you sleeping?” and then they made them answer: “We are not sleeping: we are watching the sky. The military constantly mocked the pilots and said: “If pilots come back to Russia, they will only be invalids.”
The six of us were seen. My comrade was asked, “Where is the sixth man? He showed him standing on his knees. After that, the Ukrainian soldier fired a burst into the surrendered man. We were all already lying face down on the ground when they started taking us one by one to a car that pulled up. During this, one person’s nose was broken. They wanted to finish us wounded. One of the soldiers was shouting that he was ready to shoot us, so they wouldn’t have to deal with us in the future.
I was face down on the ground and they tied my hands with duct tape. When they lifted me up, they asked where I was wounded. I said my left hip. Then one of the Ukrainians kicked me there. I apparently cried out in pain. I was told to be patient. They dragged me. At this time my shoes were coming off my feet. I did not manage to sleep, as I felt badly. For two days I did not eat at all. They took us every day and made us record a video of their text. If anyone failed they were beaten, as was I, because due to a head wound I had memory problems. I couldn’t remember all the text to tell it. The first day we were in the gym, one person was brought there. The doctor who examined me said he wouldn’t live till morning. This man was beaten to death all night long. The impression was that you were lying there, a bandage over your eyes, and you could hear screams all around you. Soon they subsided and in the morning we were told we were sleeping with a corpse. It felt as if he had been beaten with sticks, because the sound of the blows was deafening.
Then we were transported in motorcars to the detention center of the Security Service. On arrival, I was beaten up very badly. I couldn’t sleep or breathe properly for three days. They took us to the floor, we had our hands behind our backs and bandages over our eyes. As soon as I started to enter the room I was immediately hit on the head. Because of the head injury I immediately lost consciousness. They started breaking my hands and fingers. They threatened to break my arms. I tried to get up, but they hit me on the head again. And everything repeats. They hit me with legs and hands. They also hit me in the stomach. Since there was nothing to eat, it was hard to bear the fact that all my organs were beaten off.
There were pilots there. I was lying next to one of them. As soon as a shell came in, some man came up and started beating him. They kicked him and beat him with their hands. The pilots were the only ones in the hall who were handcuffed, because when he turned over, you could hear the sound of iron. They were mocked very badly: they were not allowed to sleep, they were fed much less often, and they were not given water.
Before they took us to the Red Cross, we were instructed to say that the food in captivity was excellent, water was provided, conditions were excellent, and the wounded were cared for.
When we were lying in the gym, an officer, a major, was being beaten there. He was beaten for two days. On the third day they took him to the basement. Then the Ukrainians said that he died of blood loss.
The artillerymen were brutally beaten. When I was in the gym, they brought three people, one of them was an artilleryman. They beat him up very badly. The scouts were also beaten up.Then we were sitting in the basement for 6-7 hours with our eyes closed. Then they made the first video of us being interrogated. All this was happening with the use of weapons. They were putting guns to our heads. Then they took us from there to the military police. We lived in the barracks, we were interrogated. When we did not give answers to questions, we were beaten.

Hey, Zelensky here. If you are a one of my paid trolls, please make sure to up the quality of your posts. We’ve seen a lot of posts as of late of very disappointing quality, it is backfiring a lot. We are paying you retards to turn public sentiment in favor of Ukraine, not against.
Perhaps some of you dumb shits think that westerners will be impressed by your calls to rape and kill Russian children but everybody just thinks you’re batshit. If you cannot up the quality of your posts, then just stop your spam altogether, thank you.
I really wish I had not given interview in 2019. I have not been able to shit normally since February.
Let’s just kill all the UkroNazish*ts that left.
Nice gay actors in these vids. Grindr should sanction them.
Hi Igor here, I thought I told you not to use public comms? Think of the children man
Every Ukrainian is an enemy.
No, that would be racism.
Indeed. Only hoholnazis are. But like americants say there is always collateral damage.
No, just mirroring how they think – and that would be a transgression against God.
And Natostani
I’m convinced Nuland is behind all this false flag shit.
Just like she told Tyahnybok and Parubiy: “Look guys, change that ‘Social Nationalist Party’ name of yours that makes Americans cringe and turn it into the ‘Freedom Party’ and we’ll make you all look like true patriots.”
She told them a decade later: “Look guys, all the disgusting, criminal, abhorrent things you do, make it look like the Russians did it and we’ll make you all look like true patriots.”
And that’s all she wrote.
Think you are right. That woman is evil and has a lot of blood on her hands in this Ukraine War. This time the neocons have gone too far and are up against a country which has the will and the means to defend its interests.
Although I support the special operation these videos do not lend credibility to the story. Broken fingers? OK, can we see them? Bandages, evidence of trauma of any kind, convincing posture, eye movement, all add up to what looks like staged testimony. I am sorry to say it, but this looks like bvllshlt.
They have been beaten; you can see it from their inflated faces.If it had been staged like the ukronazi do they would have put bandages and other tricks
They clearly do not have inflated faces or any other sign of trauma. None of them even look like toughened soldiers.
The only thing that you support is Sodomy between you and your Azov Movement admirers. The Shit odor surrounds you after so much deviant intercourse.
In the Russian situation: just after a defeat in Kiev, after being exposed as a historical oppressor and killer and raper of civilians, being exposed as forced deportations of Ukraines in the new USSR, after the installation of “filtering” camps , they grap ever straw stem and single example of evidence to proof the opposite that the murder of civilians – as in previous wars – is part of the Russians’ war strategy.
I agree. These three kids don’t look at all like trained and hardened soldiers, and they are clearly all using the same immaculate setting, cleaned and ironed clothes, etc. for the shoot. Anyone who had been beaten black & blue in the previous month would not have the immaculate skin and healthy look of these young kids. This is either a training video or a very poor counter-propaganda trap for unwary journalists.
“At the same time, on the part of the Russian Federation, all of 251 Ukrainian prisoners of war were delivered to the initially agreed area.” Ok, so the deal was to exchange 251 for 251 but then Ukraine offered 38 and Russia just agreed? This should be confirmed, and if it’s true then it would appear that the Russian side is led by mentally retarded people. People who betray their country like that and aid the enemy should be arrested and hanged. Then the idiot who put them in that position should be hanged too. Only then could Russia move forward as a country and a nation.
If true then it is indeed questionable. There is certainly no shortage of Khazar Jews in Russia who are buddy buddy with the Jews in Ukraine, so far that matter the word treason is certainly applicable in many situations. Let’s hope that this is not one of them.
Fight terrorism. Support Israel.
I completely agree with you . Or the responsables of such a terrible strike against RuAF are completely mad or they are traitors . In any case they have to be shot .You see they are giving you only 38 because other 213 guys died under torture and you don’ t keep back 213 nazi ?!?!?! Here , in the west side of Europe everybody is laughing at this !!! How is it possible ? Nobody in the world could be so debrained….
Ukraine probably doesn’t even have 250. At most they’d probably never have more than 100 max, especially since the clusterfuck in the north has now ended. The backstabbing bastards knew Russia would honour its word, so they deliberately turned up with less I’d bet.
Be real bro yh. Do u think the Russian mod actually care. They sent in untrained and unprepared conscripts. For me thats no difference than sending your kid to the beast.
Where do you get your info from? Joe Biden in person?
You low iq fool r u stupid or blind. Do you not see wtf has been going on since day one. Are you not sick of seeing captured conscript you pajeet.
What the hell are you talking about. NO conscripts are used in this operstion. NONE!
You have zero understanding of what transpired the last month.
Yes russian MOD cares, otherwise kiev would have been flattened by march 1!
Ur braindead too. Putin said no conscripts 3 days later the russian mod came out and said there were and some been captured. Wtf you been. And whys no mentioned about the contradictions
They do seem to care more about the other sides civilians than their own conscripts
They care about the wrong people far too much: and far too little about their own troops.
I understand, power is shifting to the east and Russia doesn’t want to be another super power like The US, but this blatant disregard for your own troops is astonishing.
And these kids In That video do not look like regular service men, so once again, where are the videos of the men?
That means they where all torchered and killed?
Astonishing.
My sentiment also.
Good thing you’re not in charge then. You would have needed most of your men to hang the others .
Ok ukraine fucks the deal up, but its the russians fault?
No this is 100% on non agreement capable ukraine.
Zašto im niste predali 38,kao i oni vama,jer su vjerovatno pogubili vaše drugove.Pogubite i vi Ukrajince,jer se ti psi vraćaju žedni ruske krvi još više,ubijte te ukrajinske pse.
Yes that sounds like appropriate treatment. I don’t think Russia cares about human lives, civilian lives, the lives of their soldiers or the lives of Ukrainian POVs. I agree that these kids deserve the utmost respect as they’re only following orders. But the solider is also obliged to think about the morality of his actions, and about the legality of the war he is fighting. If you’re a gun for hire and you’re willing to risk your life for a monthly salary, in order to rape, kill, rob, torture innocent civilians, don’t expect to be treated kindly when caught. Yes there’s a chance you might live if you get caught like these kids did. A better chance than fighting to the death. I hear the artillery men were given clemency. They were not eliminated as previously promised. It seems there’s less mercy for higher officers. The Ukrainian fighters have developed their own justice system which seems appropriate and humane depending on rank, position, extent of damage caused. It’s brutal justice, not appropriate justice, not a gold plated Geneva convention, but war justice. Who can blame them.
Shut up scum.
You need to learn to deal with the drugs before posting all that unsolicted and irrelevant garbage here! They all look like they are happy in the photos,conversely russian pows no so glamourous nor posted for obvious reasons! Irrespective they each owe their Lives to non cia bio binaries,like it or lump it!
War is war and war means no rules at all ..Every convention about wars is valid exclusively in peace times . Only Russians still didn’ t uderstand this fact . They are so stupid to not eliminate pows , to give medical assistance and food . Why did they send guys with guns in nazi territory if they don’ t want to be at war ?
There are rules of engagement.
If you’re going to kill all prisoners you’re not getting any of them back
That’s why Russia get my vote – they are innocents to evil, and wise in doing good.
Because russians are humans, not barbarians like you!
You dont eliminate POW. Ever! Im appalled by your comment. Zionist scum.
We can only hope. That means they will kill every last hoholtrash.
You don’t think -that’s the core of the problem. You only got your reptile-brain left, if you ever had anything more.
Spoken like a true waffen SS scumbag.
What the fuck?
Dude are you high right now?
Put – the – syringe – down!
I hope the Ukrainians completely lose their country. I hope their government is crippled and turns to outright despotism to keep hold of power in the face of public disdain. I hope the entire Donbass, with all of its resources, becomes highly prosperous and forever severed from a miserable Kiev and Lvov driven to absolute poverty. And I hope that Odessa and the entire south coast is forever lost to them, such that Ukraine becomes a landlocked client state of the EU, finally achieving a perfect slavery to the NATO overlords they have so sincerely sacrificed themselves unto.
They could become the ghettoes of Poland.
I have visited the site of the Warsaw ghetto and a concentration camp in Poland. It was a very sobering experience and profoundly sad.
They’re already there. Krusty the Klown of Kiev has already said that a police state is coming.
Not coming. Already there and have been since 2014.
This is what happens when you let a nation get brainwashed for 8 years. Still…why did they not film others…less naive and student looking types?
And what the fuck…30 odd Russians traded for how many Ukrainians? What? And they agreed to it?
>_>
If this article is accurate, then we can assume the more competent soldiers didn’t make it back, and they just traded a bunch of relatively harmless kids back to Russia. Honestly who the fuck knows whats going on anymore. The fog of war is real.
Russia just needs to work harder with its “partners”. Yep that will make everything just fine. Surely Russia’s “partners” are doing everything they can to be fair and honest. So keep working to satisfy your “partners” Russia and everything will work out fine.
The US was losing an average of 200 soldiers per day during WW2. Russia has long exceeded that number. They know this war is unsustainable, given the very limited territorial gains and massive economic impact of sanctions and global collapse of Russia’s credibility and image. Russian military losses are catastrophic considering that they’re fighting a country with a ten times smaller GDP and ten times smaller military budget. Peskov looked absolutely destroyed during his interview today. He was literally choking on his own lies. Even he found them hard to stomach. It’s ridiculous how far Putin is pushing his men and his country. How long are they going to take it?
Hey, Zelensky here. Please refer to my first post in this thread. Either up the quality of your posts or stop spamming. Thank you.
U.S. was in an unsustainable war within Afghanistan for 20 years and an unsustainable war in Iraq for 10. I’d say the war in Ukraine is very sustainable for Russia, particularly now the camels back is broke. U.S. is in an untenable position in having taken on two UNSC superpowers simultaneously and visibly failing against both of them. Iran shows how fragile the U.S. is in the Middle East and North Korea has ICBM’s deliverable against the U.S. mainland.
The U.S. has lost the trust and credibility of it’s financial system and is literally robbing from off other countries to sustain it’s own economy from collapse. U.S. is now even cannibalizing it’s own allies within Europe. The Empire of Lies has nowhere to go now as Eurasia out muscles it. Decline. Russia gets the privilege of being the one that plunges the knife in first by removing the USD as the sole reserve currency for commodity purchases.
The difference is that the US has achieved all their goals of regime change in Iraq and Afghanistan in less than 40 days. While Russia is undergoing a massive retreat with embarrassing reduction of objectives. The US didn’t understand what the more you occupy a country, the more people you’re going to piss off. But Russia has been harassing Ukraine for 8 years now. That hatred against Russia has exploded and we’ve all seen the brutal retaliation and spartan fighting the Ukrainians have displayed. There’s no way Russia can win this now
Spartan hiding behind civilians. The good times are going to roll now for Ukrotards.
They’ve already won you fucking moron.
The USA went into Afghanistan to replace the Taliban. After 20 years, they handed power to (drumroll please). the Taliban! How is that achieving your goals?
You’re just a stupidfuck!
Have they achieved anything? Afghanistan is run by the talibs and Iraq is run by a proxy Iranian govt kicking the US every single day.
Also Iraq didn’t have state of the art weapons with constant flow.
And yet Ukropistan is still losing. According to the hoholnazi war minister in glorious Kievistan if NATO won’t step in within days, not weeks but days his words Ukrain will be lost.
No pal! Russia is not so far fighting with Ukraine but with each individual country in a Nato club. See how they pump in lethal weapons and i think they have forces on the ground.
Ukraine has lost 30,000+ in a month.
Ehm what the hell are you saying? Russia has lost 1351 soldiers in 41 days. This makes 32/day. A lot less than 200. And they are fighting with gloves on. The americans bombed everything from afar during ww2. The cockroaches killed scores of civilians. Some cities in my country didn’t exist anymore after crossing the yankees.
lol bro, please go to an mental doctor. the us and allys lost alone on normandy beaches due the first d-day 10.000 on a single day
Fight terror. Support Israel.
nuke israel, england and the us, and 99% of the worlds problems will be longterm solved.
ok, sorry, i forgot brussels too.
then do it whit a litle rocket on the NATO building, the yankee bases (cambron casteau, ) there satelite stations. We will take care of the pupped regime and put them against the wall.
not nukes on PALESTINE !!! just BDS, blocade and no fly zone on PALESTINE. The Palestinians can eliminate the askenazis and cazarnazis by them selfs, just give hand wapons, rifles, machine guns grenades rockets munition to them. Every day honorous Palestinians are eliminating illegal colonisators, but if they are well armd, it will be better. FREE PALASTINE
The lady with red hair is standing awkwardly.
So you’re actually saying that these prisoner scum made it out alive, and were shown mercy while Ukrainian combatants murdered their own civilians? The collapse of logical thinking is bad in Russia, bad for their future but worrying for a country having nuclear weapons. Of course a use of nuclear weapons by Russia in a first strike needs a swift and all destructive retaliation. From every country having nuclear weapons. Russia has entered mass tonto mode, and we just have to deal with it
They made it out alive only due to exchange. Hoholnazis killing ethnic Russians blaming it on Russia is a different story altogether. Don’t try to process real information your two dimensional double digit IQ kolesterol neocortex wasn’t designed for it.
You would think they would have some bruises or scars from the beatings? Maybe they are quick healers.
Kept below the neckline and in private places so it’s out of sight for the viewing public.
If POW aren’t being respected then it’s just not on the table for exchange. As tough as it is, do not get caught, or if you do…..
Russia is very foolish exchange UA for NONE Russians. Only fool can agree
Got to hand it over to Putin. He has managed to perfect fascism and take it to its utmost possible extreme. A most corrupt form of oligarchic hypercapitalism, with a small group of people controll all the power and wealth. The state is run by a criminal via the secret police and the populace is kept under poverty and submission using state repression and propaganda. I mean really, Russia doesn’t acknowledge itself as a fascist state. It’s utterly fascinating from a historic perspective. They’re so caught up in their own disinformation, they’re unable to be honest about the very political nature of their own regime. A flipped up 1984 scenario and messed up in mind boggling ways. Verily, Orwell never saw it coming
oh, he saw it coming alright. oceania is at war with eurasia. oceania has always been at war with eurasia.

LOSER KREMLIN IDIOTS STILL BEING NICE TO THE UKRAINIANS
Fucking AFU pigs, the lot of them. The sadist mongrels all need a bullet to their heads.
There are lots of choices that have to be made in war. This is a simply Psych op ! Russia has treated prisoners well and now it knows good and well all these people well be sent back to their or another unit to continue with the war. Most likely the UAF will try and keep them away from others but word spreads. They will tell the grandest of stories about their victories and it will slip they were treated well in captivity. They were treated well and returned. This will then hopefully be on the minds of the others and as shells fall on them they will remember the stories of how Russia treated its POWs and consider surrender as well.
Does it work well? who knows. Russian troops should know from the videos shared what they can expect if they surrender.
Possibly. But Russia could’ve taken a video and spread it around instead. There must be more to the prisoner exchange than they are telling us.
I think that they will be severery interrogated why they surrender in the first place. The murderous zionist klown zelenski ordered to fight to the last.
Can we just wipe Ukropistan off the map? No reason to deal with rabid trash like that.
The Ukrainians are showing what evil dogs they are
Maybe time to kill every ukrobot prisoner? Just an idea. Giving back healthy pows to Ukraine while not getting anything back in return seems like a rather bad trade.
Why are russian mod actibg like they care for. They sent new untrained ill equipped conscript to the beast. Better you stay quiet than act like victim. Hard life being a russian
If Uncle Joe Stalin were at the helm, these Ukie scum would have been put on a train and taken to Siberia to break rocks for the next 10 years. at least until way after war’s end.
I do not have a dog in this fight. But I must say, Ukrainians are an evil people.
