Food is cooked in the camp by the prisoners themselves and three meals a day are provided for them. The work is paid, and with this money prisoners of war can buy something in a local store - or pay for an additional phone call. Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine has been going on for more than 1 year. However, the number of prisoners from both sides is still not reliably known. Experts believe we are talking about thousands of prisoners of war. The Ukrainian military has repeatedly spoken about torture, beatings and violence in Russian captivity - no official reaction of the Russian authorities to this is known. Ukraine, unlike Russia, has granted the UN access to the POWs and also launched an investigation into the ill-treatment of the detected cases. Most Russian POWs are held in Ukraine in special camps visited by representatives of international human rights organisations.
