There are reports from various Russian sources that the Ukrainian authorities are urging Western backers to encourage the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and various international humanitarian NGOs to abandon attempts to gain access to Russian prisoners of war.
The leadership of Ukraine confided in Britain that it did not intend to comply with the Geneva Convention on the Treatment of Prisoners of War. The International Red Cross has meanwhile disclaimed any involvement in “the forced evacuation of the Ukrainian population to Russia”.
In response , the British Foreign Office recommended that the Ukrainians organize visits by the ICRC to at least some Russian prisoners. It was emphasized that this would make it possible to save the crumbling image of the Ukrainian authorities in the eyes of the world community and partially mitigate the negative consequences of publicizing the torture of captured servicemen.
Western countries, in turn, are ready to assist in organizing a trip to the place of detention of prisoners of war by a group of “trustworthy” representatives of the ICRC.
Ukrainian President Zelensky’s government earlier lashed out against the office of the International Red Cross which was slated to open in Rostov-on-Don, in Russia, to deal with the influx of Ukrainian refugees fleeing to Russia.
“Unsurprisingly, the Ukrainian government has already rejected any humanitarian corridor leading to Russia and threatens any real Ukrainian escaping to Russia to be tried for treason. He closed the Mariupol humanitarian corridor last week, preferring to see his population entrapped by the banderites (“neo-Nazis” according to Kremlin terminology)” according to Thierry Meyssan.

I would too. If you invade my country while killing innocent people then I could not care less about the Geneva Convention. I’m going to torture and create as much pain as possible.
Where is your country? The Wall Street Journal published an analytical article by four veteran journalists, according to which the war in Ukraine could have been avoided but *elensky simply insisted on waging a war. The last push for de-escalation was made by Scholz in Munich on February 19, where *elensky flew in against Biden’s recommendations and criticized the Budapest Memorandum. The publication notes that Scholz told *elensky that Ukraine “should abandon its NATO aspirations and declare neutrality as part of a broader European security agreement between the West and Russia.” Biden and Putin will sign a pact and jointly guarantee the security of Ukraine. But the Ukrainian leader, according to the WSJ, turned down the offer: “Mr *elensky said Mr Putin cannot be trusted to uphold such an agreement and that most Ukrainians want to join NATO.” Clearly mr *elensky has insisted on putting his people through the meat grinder and the WSJ is now framing him as the bad guy for doing what you are suggesting. Keep up the support!
Open your eyes. See the videos and hear the accounts of the Ukrainian citizens instead of the propaganda you obviously are addicted to. Azov is a merciless, criminal, element of pure hell and demonic compulsion. Sick, sick, sick animals. As the Azov cowards retreat they bombard the villages, set up HQs in school basements, fire missiles from shopping malls. They restrict the citizens to their homes, in some cases they shoot them on site if they leave their lockdown. Shameful that the West, my country, would support such heinous evil bastards.
Well, your country IS being invaded along the southern border. So what are you going to do about that?
Yes what will he do? Nothing! They are paid to come here- mostly single men between ages of 18-30. He probably can’t figure out why….. he might actually get to fight after all when they get to his house.
Welcome to every war ever done. There is a reason for the convention and whoever wins this war will prosecute the losers who broke the law. Never kid yourself even the US break world laws but as long as we win we never see justice. Assange proved that which is why we are prosecuting a reporter.
The same country that amassed tens of thousands of troops for a planned assault upon their own people in the Donbass. They didn’t have a problem killing 14000 civilians over the past seven years. You’ve oddly been silent about that but somehow noisy about this. Obviously you’ve a broken moral compass
so you should support the Iraqi people who fought back and killed US GI Joe.

Ukraine is a rat’s nest that Putin felt he had to clean out.
I don’t see a good guy on either side.
Think of Putin as the Mafia Don who whacks the underling for breaking Cosa Nostra code. Not a good guy in any sense. But this is a quagmire and someone is in the wrong, and it has been Ukraine and NATO (another Mafia family) that have been guilty of first action over and over. And they were the ones with the illegal biolabs and the ones who let crack head Biden play shady games with their biggest busineses. At least Putin has something of a code. Ukraine is simply the most corrupt country in Europe. Nobody even disputes that. So yeah I’m not rooting for Russia to win. Just for Ukraine to lose.
And also, very important point. Why do you care? Three months ago did you wake up needing to know about what was happening in Ukraine? Or is the nature of your interest simply because the news started feeding you info and you acquiesced to it? Don’t you care about Syria anymore? Everyone had daily updated opinions on that throughout the entire Obama years. Did your interest go away when the news stories stopped? Do you not see the pattern? Iraq, 9/11, George Floyd, etc etc. Or more importantly can you see that at no point did you ever really know anything or care? You really didn’t. I didn’t either. You don’t care about Ukraine. I don’t either. It’s all compelled and coerced through the same repeated pattern of conditioning. You can’t make Putin do what you want him to do, but you can make yourself. So why not just break out of the cycle completely? Instead of willingly surrendering yourself and your mind and your credibility to the next big fabrication. And BTW by ‘you’ I mean all of us.
God speed to Christian Warrior Putin and the Russians.
DEATH to globalists, nazis, leftists, and Satanists.
Imagine that…a JEW NAZI RAT.
Putin needs to go medieval on Ukrainian fascist Nazi rats hard. Why prolong this?
