- After eight months of war, prisoners have accumulated on both sides of the border. But a detention centre in west Ukraine is filling with Russian detainees, some of whom are seriously injured. And Kyiv is keen to demonstrate its respect for human rights by treating them with dignity. Vedika Bahl and our colleagues at France2 have this report from the prison.

This is incredibly important. The care and attention with which the Ukrainians treat their POWs may have extremely far reaching consequences in the months to come. Treat your enemies with better respect than their own leaders and they may one day take up your cause...
This is so true.
Indeed,
Romans 12 (KJV)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
¹⁸ If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
¹⁹ Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
²⁰ Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
²¹ Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
U do realise that this could well be a propaganda show? I mean I ve seen the Russian giving emergency aid to ukranian POW s and getting them to live on 5 star hotels, does that mean the Russians treat ukranian POW s well, probably not same applies for the ukranians this video makes it seem as if Russian POW s are being treated well yet its likely all for the cameras you would take this video with a massive grain of salt if you have seen telegram videos of what some ukranian soldiers have done to Russian POW s and no its a lot worse than c"strating them like that one Russian soldier had done
Some Russian POWs already have.
They'll be 🤍💙🤍 instead of 🤍💙❤️
Glory to the new Russia against violence and invasions. The new Russia that respects Ukrayina and it's right to be it's own country of independence. 🤍💙🤍
Prisoners being treated fairly is not only the right thing to do, but also will help encourage more to surrender. Some of these prisoners should spread their stories
I saw planty of interviews of preasoners who were exchanged, and they say they were tourched and Ukrainians even cut letter Z on their legs with a knife. And they say that many people are just tortutred to death. But France 24 will not show them.
Actually, they lie on tv, that they are being tortured, after they get exchanged))) it's russians, they are pathetic and miserable.
They do.
these POWs are looking well fed and healthy . . . showing that Ukraine is a humane and civilized country . . .
Why don’t u show the part where Russian soldiers were lying on the ground bleeding out and shot by Ukrainians, did anyone get that in the media? Nope, cause it is against the official narratibe
kill 90 percent of pow and take 10 percent pows as captured 🤣🤣

@@InsoIence I hope you aren't holding your breath. I damn sure wouldn't be.
It's actually a good sign that Ukraine are this confident in their treatment of POW to allow press inside their POW camp, and allow them access to POW without guards monitor them
We don't know what's happening in secret prisons for high value POW and Wagnerites alike. Red Cross can visit any official prison camp though. An option which is repeatedly denied for Ukrainian POWs in Donetsk after the explosion of camp while Ukrainians were inside.
They are wearing decent clothes too
Russia does the same thing, too.

They've got better conditions than in mobilisation centers in Russia and certainly better than at the frontline. Lucky Russians.
yes, and also better than in average russian barracks for constcripts.

Right! I would continue staying there versus being exchanged then what?! Be sent back to the frontline. Insanity!
@@henryjohnson-ville3834 I know! I don’t understand their thinking, when they say they want to be exchanged, when like you say, they’ll probably just be conscripted again, as they have combat experience
@@fanfeck2844 So they are honorable men who want to return to their country. Unfortunately they are likely to be screwed when they return.
Ukrainian is doing an incredible job during the most trying times. Everyone from the warriors on the ground, the government that the people of Ukrainian voted for, the farmer helping with vehicles, people making food for the front lines. Ukrainians chopping wood to insure the soldiers can get a sauna near the front. Ukrainian are increasingly strong, resilient, thoughtful, understand and proud people of their own countries story.
Bu
Amazing how a violent invasion can bolster unity and morale. This is Ukraine’s defining moment for the next several generations, a true fight for independence. Awful and inspiring at the same time
they get a sauna near the front? wtf.
You forgot Ukrainian army killed civilians in the Iraqi city of kut in 2003, allowed nato to destroy Libya from its ports in 2011 and killed thousands of Russian speaking “Ukrainian “ in the last 8 years. Truth is painful.

It's all for show for the western media. Most of them will be killed.
Lucky with no leg
Seriously being a pow of a western country is better than the conditions in most army's
Treating POWs like that shows a strong country . 👍🇬🇧
this detention center feels like a 5star resort compared to the living conditions of russian soldiers on the battlefield
@SHAK3 N 🤡 Putler dog be like “Everything good for Ukraine on social media = Western propaganda” & “Everything good for Russia on social media = Putin truth” 😂😂😂🐑
imagine ukranians imprisoned by the Russians.
@SHAK3 N It's FACT moron.
Yes, its also better than the peace time barracks of the russian constripts... Its well known the situation in the russian barracks for constripts is not easy; every year there is a number of contripts taking suicide; when they cant stand abuse any longer... These whom dies or gets hurt in accidents are surely even higher; but such is life so its not reported as often.

They’re being treated with dignity and respect. That’s way more than what their own government can say. 🇺🇦🇺🇸🇬🇧👍

It looks like a descent POW camp, and it complies with the rules made up in in the convention of Geneve, chapau Ukraine, its something Russia can learn from!
Unfortunately, the governance of Russia will not change until ALL of the Soviet era people in it are gone, eliminated by old age.
Its just for the media

@@julwiezdeghorz5089 send link lets see liar
You are so naïve
@@stevensplash1716 I believe most POW captured by Ukraine are treated good enough, but not always according to UN conventions, for example, beatings upon capture, humiliations, publishing videos with revealed faces and taunting dead russsian soldiers relatives over the phone. My guess is Julwiez is probably talking about something else, like caught marauders attached to lamp posts and trees for public humiliation and sometimes lashing with pants down, which, all things considered isn't the worst that can happen, as looters during war under martial law could be executed under certain circumstances. One such video was published where Ukrainian private (or militia) got beat up and robbed by local pro-russian gang, which was caught on surveillance video. Minutes later, Ukrainian police with Special forces, or UKR counter-terrorism unit, arrested gang with prejudice and softened up perpetrators and that too was published later, after which all vatņik hell broke lose about how Ukrainian police is randomly arresting poor russian supporters, "they did nothing wrong" etc.
Glory and Respect to Ukraine coming from the Philippines.
Glory to Russia fight nwo proxies from Guam

sangat menakjubkan, pemerintah Ukraina sangat perhatian sama tawanan.viktory for Ukraina
Mungkin kita hanya bagian dr total 10% org indo yg mendukung Ukraina ditengah keberpihakan media2 mainstream dan masyarakat awam kt di dalam negeri yg sangat memihak Rusia dan tidak lg independen dlm menyampaikan suatu berita geopolitik..
entah itu karena ideologi fanatisme militeristik, sentimen anti Amerika, maupun ketidaktahuan akan realita yg sebenarnya,,

I believe the prisoners are treated well. They can compare life in a free world, as opposed to life in russia. How did their own side treat them? Which one would they choose?
Yeah, funny detail. They are allowed two hours of daily television watching, ukrainian news included. Its a privilege for every prisoner, but here ist also a mild form of reschooling them, giving them new and different opinions...
ukrain prisoners in Russia: we're treated like animals...
russian prisoners in Ukrain: we're treated well and are taken care of...
Don't forgot we are in a country wich is in ukraine side, maybe there is bad exemples in both countries
Comment tu le sait tu a été prisonnier en Russie ?
@@mrmeu3480 the Ukrainian prisoners released by Russia are thin & emaciated. They are clearly not fed properly. The opposite is true of Russian prisoners released by Ukraine.
@@mrmeu3480 Yes, france sends the Nazis weapons with which they shot at cities, at schools, hospitals on purprose, not beause they think there might be soldiers, no, because their goal since 2014 is to get rid of all east ukrainian poeple - the sole reason why Russia intervened.
@@djsoleil3182 you want to try?
this is how a professional miltiary behaves, unlike the terrorist brigades they are fighting.
That strong connection between mothers and their sons. Assuring their moms that they are fine and well taken care of.
I read that if/when they go home they will be debriefed, and if found they surrendered, they could be sentenced for up to 10 years.

@@ab-xo4yc so much evidence IF you want to find it! But Ruzzian trolls rather believes lies than the truth.
I really do hope that they are treating their prisoners with care. What Russia is doing should not dictate how Ukraine deals with their prisoners. Lead by example.
... yes, they want to return to the big prision.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Treat your enemies with better respect .we all love life
Putler Needs to be Held Accountable For His Inhumane People Still Around 🪛👹
Perhaps they should not be in such a hurry to be exchanged. Within a day or two, they will be sent back to the meat grinder.
I am deeply touched, not that I would wonder ..no...to see the humility and human love Ukrain offers those who wounded them so deeply. What better loving christian example you can find ????
Victory to Ukraine....these soldiers are the new generation of Russians, who saw what is the truth ...
Ukranian people are abiding citizen living with humane & dignity..thru the civilized and resilient leadership of Pres. Zelensky, which has been admiring most about Ukranian & gave legacy that marked to the mind of entire the world, slava Ukreine...
It good you all end up in good care of the Ukrainian people . Much respect for Zelensky and his leadership 👏👏👏👏👏
Compare to how Ukranian prisoners are treated by the Russians
You have info?...
@@jd5787 just check out in what shape Mariupol defenders came back ....
Much respect and Godspeed to Ukraine for their fight for freedom and democracy.
Heartbreaking..
They come to kill , rape.and destroy .
when your "enemy" treats the prisoners better then the military ...... -.-
This just makes me weep, war is awful.
Conditions unknown!!! What about condition of Ukrainian POW in russia?
Poor dear, the fellow who lost both his legs. So sorry to see that. He's a victim in all of this. Just like our guys who were sent to Vietnam so many years ago.
Putin : We must rescue them , we will rescue them ..
Russian PoW : we r happy here 👍
Why no reports from pow in ruzzia? The pow exchange look super thinned out and their stories are scary.
Lucky men.
Good treatment is important for future peace. I'm happy to see them well treated.
well atleast they're alive it's not shameful to give up a war that has absolutely no point.
Especially if you've lost your legs
I bet the men are safer as POW, than out there in the four annexes provinces.
Treat you foe with respect and friendship life because of the code of a real soldier 🇬🇧 who wants to die for nothing .
Finally, something heartwarming. I been waiting to see what the inside of Ukrainian POW camps look like.
Volodymyr Zolkin did a video about a different POW camp and the conditions looked pretty much the same. Just brown uniforms instead.
VIVA UKRAINE! It deserves to be part of the European Union. Wonderful people. And I learned NOT all Russians are bad.
Truly heartbreaking and these are thr lucky ones. They have their life many Russian many and Ukraine men won't be going home to their family's and friends
HOPEFULLY RESPECT BEGETS RESPECT , SOME WERE TOLD THEY. WERE. JUST. DOING " MANEUVERS IN BELARUS " , NOT AN " INVASION FORCE " , DEFINITELY BETTER IN DETENTION FOR THEM THAN THE HORRENDOUS DUTIES PLACED. UPON THEM BY. SO CALLED. SUPERIOR AUTHORITIES.
Heartbreaking after effects of a war... Unfortunate to witness such things in this life time as never expected a war to happen in this era.. That too in Europe.
always, always treat the pow with dignity and respect, yes some of them have blood on their hands but it is important not only to show that Ukraine is a civilized country abiding by the values it claims to fight for but also to entice reciprocity for their own pows at the hands of the invader.
Viva Ukraine, stay strong......
Sorry but I turn 26 today, and I look at the faces of these boys and I can see the innocence that has escaped their faces. Some men have lost so much - so young. These are younger men than me.
Very hard to see the bitterness and harshness of war, and the young age of the majority of Russian federations army.
Putin must fall. God save us.
I think those are the new conscripts. They got mobilized from the university, school, work place etc. They do not have anything in common with the military. They are definity not experienced special forces. But still they probably fear to be ratted out from each other. So no one speaks up.
The Ukrainian authorities appear to be treating their Russian captives as per the Geneva convention ad I would say they are much better off staying as POW's until the end of the war. But is Russia doing the same. I very much doubt it as we do not see any footage coming out of Russia.
You could look up the interviews with exchanged Ukranian POW's. Ugly stuff, very ugly.
This world is in trouble...much peace to all
It looks clean, and well under control, always a good sign.
Le reportage date du printemps 2022 (en français). Et il était plus long en français. On montrait les travaux effectués par les prisonniers. Probablement que plusieurs prisonniers ont été échangés par la suite. Le reportage en anglais est publié un peu tard (25 octobre).
Where Have All The Flowers Gone ? I believe in your HUMANITY , Ukraine . GOD Bless your Country !
Thanks to the Geneva convention, Humanity still exists at least on Ukrainian side☮️
"Do unto others what you would have them to do unto you" -- the Golden Rule is especially important in these circumstances
I hope those men are treated well and get a better chance in life after this war. They were forced to fight for Russia.
I sincerely hope this is a true reflection of life for Russian POW's. I'm sure and I hope the Ukrainian's realise many of the public who support them now would not be too pleased to learn they were not taking care of those men who are now non-combatants. They would lose a lot of respect.
How has it come to this... European men, once again being set against each other. Heart breaking.
I'm pretty sure they know and act accordingly. Also, even just for using these guys in exchanges you want to keep them alive and healthy. I mean the president has outright called the POWs an "exchange fund" and has reminded the army how valuable they are in his nightly address a couple of times.
After WWII Russians that were coming from prisoner of war camps were sent direct to Siberia. Officers got 10 years, others got 5. You can bet that these men expect the same treatment when they finally get home.
God bless.🕊
Good heart people
Kudos Ukraine.👍👍👍 long live the great Ukraine,🙏🙏🤩🤩❤️❤️
zELENSKY IS JEW CLEPTOMAN AS soros too
Looks like pretty good conditions, this will be the best one probably.

Hello how are you doing...?
very comfort
Now they’re finding out Putin lied to them 😢

the pow's are treated with respect, safe and alive. respect to Ukraine. 🙏🙏
Just out of curiosity; why is the channel 'France 24' in English?
it’s full title is”France 24 English” and will be aimed at English speaking people. It is probably the same as their French version but with English. There are other countries who do something similar.
The channel name is literally "France 24 English". Too complicated for you?
Why does the New York Times distribute outside of New York?
There is also France 24 in French and in Spanish.
Hopefully other countries begin sending volunteer medical staff to help the wounded and at least make sure they're fed. It's tough seeing these young guys forced into these conditions.
We need more reports of this nature. Systematic information about treatment of a Russian prisoners. Want assurances that demonstrate Ukraine is behaving as a democracy in this area of war practice.
No comparison to the Hanoi Hilton as the American P.O.W.s called it - This needs to be like this on both sides - Well done Ukraine much respect for your human treatment of your P.O.W.s 🇺🇸
Must be a huge drain on Ukrainian finances, and growing!
I'm pretty sure this prison has appeared on Ukrainian media. The prisoners work, paid small amounts for it, often used for cigarettes. Work is unskilled, not hard, assembling fancy paper bags, chopping pallets for kindling. Profits won't pay the full cost, clearly, so still a huge drain.
I don't think Russian treats Ukrainian the same
Russians do not even treat their own soldiers this well.
I hope that this is how all detention centers are. Despite some of them being incredibly brainwashed i have a few friends over there and most of them are like you or me. This war needs to end sooner rather than later.
I wonder How many would return to the Frontline if released?
Respect and Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦
Go Ukraine 🇺🇦 Go with God 🇺🇦
My respect for Ukraine has gotten even higher because of this video VIVA UKRAINE ❤️
Good to see. They’re getting better treatment by far by their Ukrainian captors that there own ever would!
they look in better condition than ever living in Russia.
More Russian POWs means more burden to Ukraine financially.
Showing this is important.
You can tell everything you need to know about a person/culture by how they treat their enemy/prisoners
The most important thing is your still alive...and a chance to start living again when war ends.
youre funny
these pows don't deserve it, and never will be
The one who lost both feet... 🤦 poor thing. He for sure not asking for it.
He invaded a sovereign country. Many, many Ukrainian soldiers and civilians, including children, have lost limbs.
It's so sad to be honest. If there were no war, they should be in their homes, just smiling with their loved ones or wth their friends.
I feel it is the group of evil politicians who made these people fight for nothing and end up mentally and physically hurt
How sad Glory to Ukraine
Have them rebuild and clean up shelling holes
Looks a hell of a lot better than conditions as a detainee in a Scottish police station.. and that's without having done anything whatsoever.. but just waiting for the 47 hours before let out as over 48 would be unlawful....
Uh... why were you in a Scottish police station?
@MrSlanderer
Im a White Christian Male... seems that's all that's required for police to believe anything these days... strangely enough their non existant evidence did not impress my Lawer.......
I would point out that unlike England where you just get told to report to court.. in Scotland they simply lock you up till they can be bothered.. irrespective of no evidence..
Comforting to see that POW are being treated this kind way of humanity. It looks here, just like an ordinary dining room, in military base, at Peaceful Times...
I always feel sorry 😞 for soldiers, no matter which country, who are POW.
Here one can see, that people who are serving them food, look really kind. Unlike what in WW2 films, when captives were treated, in cruelty and humiliation, and the little food they were given, was more like, to let them starve.
