  • Every weekend, Ukrainians rally to support the families of prisoners of war and advocate for the release of those still in Russian captivity.

We spoke to former prisoners of war and relatives of POWs at one of the recent protests in Kyiv.
    00:00 - 01:53- Intro
    01:27- 02:26 - Why should people come to the rally?
    02:27 - 03:11 - Operation Air Corridor in Mariupol
    03:11- 03:54 - About Russian captivity
    03:54 - 05:05 - Interview of a POW who remains in captivity.
    05:06 - 05:55 - We are misusing the term "captivity."
    05:56 - 07:06 - Yuliia Paievska "Taira" on the importance of the rallies for Ukraine.
    07:07 - 07:47 - How does the time in Russian captivity affects you?
    07:48 - 08:25 - Former POW "Roger" about Russian Captivity
    08:26 - 09:15 - The enemy took my brothers and tortures them.
    09:16 - 09:57 - The importance of Azovstal defenders and the fight for Mariupol.

      Why should we support a shit hole country? That’s nothing but a piggy bank for the elites These people are not fighting for democracy or peace. The president of Ukraine, gets paid off on a regular basis not to have peace. These people are dying because of money the president of Ukraine has a $22 million dollar home in Britain. He’s no better than Adolf Hitler killing all his people being surrounded before he takes his own life but in this case he’s gonna run away to his mansion in Britain while the people of Ukraine will suffer for many years.

      @@glintongordon6811 russia did not "defeat" Mariupol - it's a city - or Azovstal - a steel processing plant. What russian forces did was deliberately destroy them, murdering tens of thousands whose bodies were left to rot under rubble or in the streets until they were removed along with the rubble or disposed of in mobile crematoria, to remove the evidence of the countless crimes committed by russia in that area.
      Also, Ukraine wasn't getting the aid it needed and was asking for when those crimes were committed - if they had, the war would be over by now, all prisoners would have been returned to Ukraine, reconstruction would be in process and the world would be a lot safer than it is.

      Please explain. This war started because putin wants to annihilate Ukraine as a nation and sovereign country, so he can exploit its territory and resources to wage war on other neighbouring countries and ultimately the whole of Europe and the West. How is that represented by that woman's pendant?
