Cum a transformat Rusia prizonierii ucraineni în instrumente de propagandă. Mii de videoclipuri ajung pe rețelele sociale

A Ukrainian soldier, Volodymyr Srebrodolskyy, captured by Russian forces, appeared in a propaganda video expressing a desire for peace and not wanting to return to Ukraine. His statements led to accusations of betrayal in his hometown, Karpylivka, despite being filmed under duress. After his death, tensions rose in the community regarding his burial, with some locals threatening violence if he was interred locally. Ultimately, he was buried far from home. Investigations revealed he suffered severe injuries while in captivity, and many Ukrainian prisoners have reported torture and coercion to make propaganda videos. The UN has documented widespread abuse of prisoners, emphasizing the need for their protection under international law.
