Breaking its recent silence on prisoners of war, the Red Cross said Thursday it has registered “hundreds” of Ukrainian prisoners of war who left the giant Azovstal steel plant in the southern city of Mariupol after holding out in a weeks-long standoff with besieging Russian forces. The announcement by the International Committee of the Red Cross, which acts as a guardian of the Geneva Conventions that aim to limit “the barbarity of war,” came shortly after Russia's military said 1,730 Ukrainian troops at the steel mill have surrendered.

If Putin acts as he has in the past, he might kill them or send them to remote camps and allow no Red Cross or other group to visit them. I've just seen one brief headline that Russia and Ukraine have worked out a prisoner swap, so hopefully these soldiers will get home safe. But I entirely distrust Putin.
