On June 30, in Kyiv, at Ukrinform, the independent initiative Civic Evidence presented its report “The Honorable Captivity of Azov: How Propaganda, Violence, and Trials Shape the Fate of Ukrainian Prisoners of War in Russia.”
The study focuses on the situation of Ukrainian prisoners of war from the Azov regiment and exposes a mechanism that combines Russian propaganda machinery, practices of torture, and fabricated criminal prosecution. The authors document the systemic nature of Russia’s violations of international humanitarian law and call for strengthening international mechanisms to protect prisoners of war.
