Since the beginning of the special operation, multiple Ukrainian soldiers have laid down their arms and surrendered to the Russian forces and the Donbass militias. Most of them became prisoners of war after Russian forces took over the Azovstal plant in Mariupol: over 2,500 Ukrainian troops and radicals from the Azov regiment surrendered at the facility after a weeks-long siege.
Over the past three months, a number of videos appeared online, depicting Ukrainian troops torturing and killing their prisoners. Moscow, in its turn, stressed that the Ukrainian troops captured by the Russian forces won't be harmed.
