Ukrainian PoW freed after being held by Putin’s forces
HORRIFYING pictures show a Ukrainian prisoner of war left extremely skinny and fragile after being trapped in one of Putin's camps.Harrowing images show an emaciated Gorilyk Roman Vasilyevich after he returned to Ukraine after two years as a Russian PoWhas called on global authorities to stop allowing Russia to "use the suffering of people and their families as a weapon" in the bloody war.
A chilling statement alongside the images of Vasilyevich said: “These terrible photos show Ukrainian Gorilyk Roman Vasilyevich after two years in Russian captivity.They also said that none of the PoWs were allowed to be seen by people from the International Committee of the Red Cross .The statement continued: “Not allowing observers to see prisoners of war, in violation of the provisions of the Geneva Conventions, is a conscious and purposeful policy of the Russian government.
Specific provisions stipulate prisoners of war must not be subjected to torture or medical experimentation, and must be protected against acts of violence, insults, and public curiosity. The names of PoWs must immediately be sent to the Central Tracing Agency of the International Committee of the Red Cross, with POWs allowed to correspond with their families and receive relief packages.
“This is a humanitarian issue. Stop manipulation of lists, disruption of exchanges, holding non-combatants in captivity, fake trials and abuse of prisoners.”
