Ukraine has paraded captured Russian soldiers in dozens of online videos as Moscow finally admitted its forces have sustained heavy losses after pictures showing bodies of Kremlin fighters emerged.

Footage posted online show tied up 'demoralised and exhausted' Russian prisoners of war captured after they failed to break through Ukrainian defences in Kyiv and Kharkiv over the weekend.

Several of the videos were posted on a Telegram channel set up on Saturday by Ukraine's Interior Ministry called 'Find Your Own'.

Many Russian troops claimed that they believed they were conducting training exercises in the border regions and did not know they were being sent to invade Ukraine.

I don’t believe you’re allowed to parade POWs under International Law.

“exercises” is also what the Russian soldier told the Ukrainian woman who confronted him and gave him seeds so flowers would grow on his grave.

I was watching interviews with Russian soldiers who said they were told they were going on exercises and then subsequently threatened with being shot if they didn’t perform as soldiers.

Probably not. But invasion of another sovereign state is definitely not permitted under International Law.

One of Russians went on record in the beginning of this to say that he was lied to, so he and his company surrendered. In the end I don’t think Ivan is the problem, Putin is.

That is correct. The Ukrainian Regime members are not nice people, and they are under the influence of even not nicer people, such as George Soros and the WEF.

The good thing about this war is that the stupid antiwar international law garbage is being cast aside.

Now we can have war again

Beware Houthis, Hamas, Hezbollah and all Iranian surrogates. Beware Taliban

China is smiling in the front row seat, watching the US and Russia fixing to play tug-of-war for a bonfire.

If fortune smiles on China, the contenders will both fry in the process.

Nice people or not, it does not justify an invasion and setting a fire that could kindle WWIII...

Ukrainian estimates as to the number of Russian dead clearly are exaggerated, and there is obviously a lot of other pro Ukrainian propaganda floating around.

That being said, there is plenty of other evidence that the Russian invasion is going far less well than the Russians had hoped.

I don't see any Russian prisoners mistreated. My view is if you invade my house, don't expect "nice" treatment from me.

The Ukrainians don’t have nukes pointed at us, Putin does.
