The branding 'Glory to Russia' burned on the body of a defender. Ukraine confirmed the authenticity of the photo.

The photo of a soldier whose body was burned with the inscription 'Glory to Russia' is authentic. The defender was freed from captivity during one of the previous exchanges. This was reported by 'Glavkom', citing Deputy Head of the Coordination Staff for the Treatment of Prisoners of War Andriy Yusov during a television marathon.

'Unfortunately, this is a real photo. The story is that this is not from this exchange, it is from one of the previous exchanges. A doctor during an examination at one of the regional centers where the guys undergo rehabilitation simply couldn't bear it, took a picture of it and posted it online. This is evidence of what our defenders go through in captivity,' he explained.

Violations of conditions for the detention of Ukrainian prisoners in the RF

According to Yusov, Russia systematically violates the conditions for the detention of Ukrainian prisoners, including standards of nutrition and medical care. '90% of surveyed Ukrainian soldiers who were freed from captivity in the RF report violations of detention conditions in one form or another. Such issues are widespread, and this is a matter of serious work and pressure for the entire international community,' the official noted.

The news that the photo of the soldier with the inscription 'Glory to Russia' is authentic provokes outrage and emphasizes the cruelty and ruthlessness of the invaders. At the same Time, data on systematic violations of the conditions for the detention of Ukrainian prisoners in Russia indicate the need for international intervention and support to protect the rights of soldiers who have found themselves in captivity.
