At the International Platform for the Release of Civilians Illegally Detained by the Russian Federation, Prosecutor General Andrii Kostin said that 204 people have been served with suspicion notices in Ukrainian criminal proceedings regarding the illegal deprivation of liberty of civilians, 158 people are being tried in courts, and 33 people have been convicted.
Prosecutor General Andrii Kostin took part in the launch of the International Platform for the Release of Civilians Illegally Detained by the Russian Federation. This is an important step in the implementation of the Fourth Point of the President's Peace Formula. It aims to unite efforts to rescue thousands of Ukrainian civilians who have been abducted by Russia and are currently in captivity.
As noted, the first meeting of the International Platform, organized by the Office of the Ombudsman of Ukraine, was attended by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andrii Yermak, Prime Minister of the Republic of Bulgaria Nikolai Denkov, as well as more than 50 participants from different countries and international organizations.
"As of today, 204 people have been notified of suspicion in Ukrainian criminal proceedings on illegal deprivation of liberty of civilians, 158 people are being tried in courts, and 33 people have been convicted," said Andrii Kostin.
The Prosecutor General noted that despite the ongoing work within the framework of national investigations and cooperation with a wide range of international partners and the public sector, there is still no effective international mechanism to ensure the return of civilian detainees to their homeland. This requires coordinated international efforts at the governmental level.
"The international community clearly sees and understands that Russia is using torture and illegal deprivation of liberty as a weapon of war. I firmly believe that the Platform established today will become a platform for developing effective solutions. We will not stop until all Ukrainians abducted by the aggressor return home," he added.
“Could ‘The Platform” spare some time to look into the Jan. 6 hostages?’”
Neep another thread to address this issue adequately.

Matthew 6:5
And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men.
I don’t need leftist articles from leftist “news” outlets.
Spare me the gaslighting.
Well then Putin is a Piker compared to Biden and company. 1033 people were arrested for participating in the events on January 6. Hundreds were held in inhumane conditions for months and years on end before being charged with a crime. 749 have now been sentenced, many on trumped up charges from questionable evidence from politically weaponized intelligence agencies.

Maybe the (IPRC) will help the civilians locked up for J6 ?

You can’t be seriously that naive?
“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites”
Pray in your private prayer closets or in gathered communities of faith.

“I don’t need leftist articles from leftist “news” outlets.”
Sorry I was not able to help you.
Get over it mom, the Ukraine ain’t getting back up. Stick a fork in it.
The NYT just admitted that the CIA took over the Ukraine after its coup in 2014 and that it has 12 secret bases in the Ukraine. The CIA started this war, not the Ukrainians. Do you still want Ukrainian men and boys dying for the CIA?

I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video, I will tell you what happened on the seven-hundred-thirty-third day of the war.
Day 733: Feb 26
Today, there are a lot of updates from the Avdiivka direction.
Here, the most intense clashes are taking place in the central part of the region. The main goal of Ukrainian forces is to conduct a gradual controlled withdrawal to the next defense line in the region, which is located along the river.
The withdrawal has to be gradual in order to prevent Russian forces from gaining dangerous momentum and ensure the stability of the front line. In turn, the main goal of Russian forces is to capitalize on the Ukrainian withdrawal by gaining momentum and using it to breach the next defense and collapse the front line before the Ukrainians entrench themselves completely.
The Ukrainian command understands this, which is why Ukrainian fighters continued to hold several settlements south of the river. Apart from killing the momentum of the Russian advancement, repelling Russian attacks on these settlements was essential to ensure that every soldier who was holding strong points in the fields safely withdrew. The most serious difficulty that Ukrainian fighters in these villages faced was the Russian bombardments, as the fortifications were built north of the river, not south of it.
However, Ukrainian reporting indicated that the destruction of the A-fifty long-range radar detection aircraft temporarily halted Russian aviation operations. The Ukrainian Main Military Intelligence Directorate reported that Russian forces immediately ordered five Su-thirty-five aircraft to terminate ongoing combat missions, some of which included conducting airstrikes in front of Avdiivka. Such developments forced Russians to rely solely on ground assaults.
Based on the combat footage from the region, regular infantry assaults in small units of up to ten people did not work out very well, as Ukrainians deployed snipers to control the fields. Ukrainian snipers released many videos showing how they hunted down the Russian infantry in the tree lines who tried to conduct night attacks.
After several days, Russian forces decided to make some adjustments and started supporting the infantry with a couple of tanks and armored fighting vehicles. The main goal was to quickly cut the distance and deploy the infantry right on the doorstep of the village. The biggest problem that the Russian mechanized assault units was mines.
Interestingly, Russian forces exacerbated this problem themselves when they started deploying distant mining equipment to complicate the Ukrainian withdrawal during the last days of the Battle for Avdiivka. The usage of distant mining was way too late because Russians did not expect that Ukrainians would decide to withdraw timely, so eventually, it did more damage to Russians. Geolocated combat footage shows how multiple Russian armored fighting vehicles explode on a mine in front of Lastochkine, adding to the staggering losses incurred in Avdiivka.
Interestingly, during the recent briefing, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu told Putin that Avdiivka was taken with minimal losses. This claim was not well-received even in the Russian media space.
Prominent Russian military volunteer Andrei Morozov published a lengthy speech, accused Russian generals of wastefully sacrificing thousands of servicemen to advance their military careers, and claimed that sixteen thousand Russian personnel died in combat during Russian offensive operations in Avdiivka. Morozov quickly deleted the post because he was reportedly approached by a colonel who threatened to cut off ammunition supplies to his unit. The next day after he deleted the post, he reportedly committed suicide.
Despite incurring thousands of losses, the attacks continued, and after conducting dozens of mechanized attacks, the road to Lastochkine was basically demined, and intense fights broke out inside the village. Once Ukrainians finished withdrawing from their strong points in the fields, Ukrainian fighters left Lastochnike, and the fights shifted to the next village on the line – Tonenke.
In order to undermine Russian offensive capabilities and reduce the intensity of attacks, Ukrainian forces conducted a HI-MARS strike on the Russian bases in the Donetsk area. You have probably already heard about the strike against a Russian base near Volnovakha, where at least three companies worth of troops were stationed. However, what you likely have not heard is that Ukrainians used....

Can you imagine a government that would lock up political dissidents as a means of intimidation? How about a government that spied on journalists or who used their federal police force to entrap citizens? I see why Russia is so evil </s>
“I see why Russia is so evil”
Putin is evil, not Russia
The same reason Ukrainians murdered and tortured their own neighbors for Hitler.
One would think you’d rather have Biden get a taste of his own medicine before someone who isn’t destroying the country you live in.

Is holding people in prison without trials and/or keeping them in isolation cells, considered torture?
Is taking people to court for things that are not crimes and denying them the right to a defense a form of torture? How about making them pay extraordinary fines, and refusing them the right to makè money needed to pay those fines while charging them daily interest until that money is turned over to the state? Has Russia ever done that?
If Russia is bad for doing theae things, what are we?
