War prisoner exchanges between Ukraine and Russia are conducted quite regularly: during the latest such exchange, Ukraine returned 100 military personnel and one civilian from Russian captivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, hundreds and hundreds more Ukrainian defenders are still held by Russia, and while they await return to their homeland, they are often kept in inappropriate conditions and are subjected to abuse and torture Russian forces are notoriously famous for. While Ukraine ensures access to monitor the places where Russian POWs are detained for international missions, Russia does not provide opportunities for any control over the facilities where Ukrainian soldiers are kept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Human rights defenders call for Ukraine\u2019s partners and mediators in the war to pressure Russia into providing access to the places of Ukrainian POWs’ detention to ensure the compliance with standards of international law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
