The disturbing footage shows a blatant violation of the Geneva Conventions and international law, raising serious questions about Russia's conduct in the ongoing conflict.

Where is the UN? Where are human rights organizations? Why is the world asleep?

The video shows Russian soldiers forcing Ukrainian prisoners, at gunpoint, to sing the Russian national anthem. Beyond psychological humiliation, they call the prisoners derogatory names and subject them to physical violence. The distressing images depict cruel and inhumane treatment of defenseless individuals, clearly violating basic human rights.

International law experts define the documented acts as severe war crimes. They call on the international community to take immediate action against those responsible and bring them to justice. However, criticism is heard regarding the lack of a meaningful response from the UN and human rights organizations.

The footage raises deep concern for the fate of additional prisoners of war held by Russian forces. Ukrainian officials are calling for increased international pressure on Moscow and the imposition of further sanctions. Meanwhile, the international community is urged to act urgently to ensure the protection of civilians and captured soldiers in combat zones.
