Ukrainian Prisoners Pressured to Help Russia Conquer Europe
Former Ukrainian prisoner Volodymyr Labuzov revealed shocking details of Ukrainian captives being coerced in Russian jails to join forces and 'liberate Ukraine before conquering Europe'. Labuzov highlighted the systematic dehumanization and abuse faced by Ukrainian soldiers in Russian captivity since the 2022 invasion.
Human Rights Violations
Reports from Kiev suggest that nine out of ten prisoners have been subjected to torture, sexual violence, sham trials, and executions. Labuzov shared his experience and spoke out against the arbitrary detention of thousands of Ukrainian civilians, including children, without due process.
Russia's regime in the so-called 'liberated territories' imposes submission on individuals, stripping them of rights without Russian citizenship. Psychological warfare tactics aim to erase Ukrainian identity, with prisoners being coerced to join Russian forces under false promises of liberation and conquest.
Genocide Allegations
Labuzov condemned these actions as an attempt to destroy a nation, questioning if it constitutes genocide. The psychological manipulation and coercion tactics used in Russian prisons raise concerns about human rights violations and the impact on Ukrainian prisoners' mental well-being.
