Creation of a 'Ukrainian Volunteer Brigade' from POWs: A New Stage of Russia's Violations of the Geneva Convention
🚨 Russia has created a 'Ukrainian Volunteer Special Forces Brigade' from prisoners of war.
📄 ISW confirms: the formation includes the Kryvonos and Berest battalions, as well as the Matrosov, Pushkar, and Slobodsky detachments.
⚖️ This is a gross violation of the Geneva Convention, which prohibits involving prisoners in combat.
