    If that is real, it clearly indicate warcrimes by Ukraine. Ratio of KiA to PoW’s for Russia is over 9 to 1. But for Ukraine it is over 57 to 1. And all that when Ukraine is the side which did the loud and rapid offensives meaning they advanced and Russians withdrawn which would cause more PoW’s be taken by UA.

    For comparison, in the battle of Okinawa, one of the most brutal and merciless, where the Japanese got active orders to not surrender it was between 7 - 16 to 1.

    This means UA is not taking/killing prisoners.

      I’m not entirely certain that I care that much. It would be different if they were torturing them. But this wouldn’t be happening at all if Russia would respect Ukraine’s sovereignty.

        None of this would happen if everybody would respect sovereignity. But most countries sadly do not. It’s not only the current scape goat. It’s all of those psychopathic bastards who send troops into wars because of greed and a lust for human desaster. It doesn’t matter where they come from. We need to fight all of them. Not just one of them.
