Ukraine will open a new prisoner of war camp due to the abundance of Russians in Ukrainian captivity.This was reported by the Ukrainian parliamentary commissioner for human rights, Dmytro Lubinets. A new camp for prisoners of war will be opened in the near future. Work is also under way to open another camp.
Section 3 of the Geneva Convention gives detailed descriptions of types of work various prisoners of war can do, conditions for that work, and much more. All the news articles I’ve read about Ukraine in this regard suggest they’ve been very good about all of this, and in every case much, much better than the barbarity of Russian officers in treating both Ukrainian captives and their own conscripts.
While I completely understand the sense of anger and justice that would have your suggestions make sense, the value to the Ukrainian cause in treating these people with dignity in terms of both securing international aid and showing the Russian people that Ukraine treats their people better than Russian authorities must be worth more in the end.
