When Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, the Buzynov brothers, their mother, and Mykyta's girlfriend fled their home in Chernihiv in the north of the country to avoid the conflict. They went to the village of Mykhailo-Kotsiubynske, but by early March, Russian soldiers arrived there too. "We've come to liberate you from your government. Putin is cool," the soldiers exclaimed.
Volodymyr says the soldiers searched the village, confiscating phones and accusing his family of sharing the location of the Russian army - something they all deny. Then, Volodymr says, the soldiers set up what sounded like a fake execution.
"They took my brother Mykyta and others behind some trees and told them to line up against a wall, yelling: 'Get ready! Aim!' Then they took Mykyta's girlfriend Kateryna, and made her kneel next to him. Aiming a rifle at her head, they said to my brother: 'If you don't confess, we'll shoot her.'"
Volodymyr says that was the last time he saw Mykyta. "He may have confessed to save his girlfriend because they let her go. They told us: 'He admitted everything. He's facing up to 15 years in prison.'"
According to the Ukrainian government, as of November 2023 there were 4,337 Ukrainians in Russian captivity. Most were military personnel, but 763 were civilians. However, there is no official list of their names and Ukrainian authorities rely on data from the Red Cross.

Smells like zeeper BS.
This is what Putin should be interviewed about
Gonzalo got even worse than that in a Ukrainian prison.
I read that they’re disappearing from the battlefield, also.
bttt
I care so much about the US, that all I do is post about Ukraine everyday.
The propaganda war continues.
Actually, this is pretty clever on the part of the Neocons. Rather than admitting that the Ukrainians are being sent to their deaths by their own government, claim they are prisoners and are being killed in captivity by the Russians.
FREEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!!
(((PING!)))
Join and laugh!! Allegra; AndyJackson; bimboeruption; dforest; MoochPooch; Rocco DiPippo; tennmountainman;
And the UKs shot down a plane load of Ukraine POW’s on way for exchange.
Nazi’s be Nazis
Wed must not forget the poor Ukrainian prisoners that are dead because Ukraine shot down the plane they were being transported on.
This hogwash about Ukraine having some kind of moral high ground is a joke.
There isn’t anything moral about war on eiher side.
I heard they throw babies out of incubators! And they catch Belgian babies on bayonets! And then they sunk the USS Maine! To ARMS lads!
LOL, yes its what Putin is arguing, invaded countries like Poland in WW2, were responsible for starting the war. Okay
"Hitler just wanted to 'realize his plans' and Poland was 'uncooperative' and 'forced' Hitler to attack and start World War II, Putin said.
You are lying. He didn’t get a deportation notice or free passage. He also was not treated for his illness.
He tried to deport himself to Hungary and Ukraine dragged him back into the prison to let him die.
That is what the truth is.
Some of you Zeepers are wound too tight. Take you foul mouth and give it a rest.
All you have done is make people more sick of Ukraine.
This thread is not about that interview. Take it to one of those threads.
