  1.  @farrider3339  I did actually do some google "research" before asking my question. I'm not a legal expert, but I found an article about this on the guardian's website, with the following quote: "James Crawford QC, professor of international law at Cambridge University, said coercing PoWs into appearing on TV would be a grave breach of the convention and a war crime, "but shots of prisoners of war at a distance and not identifiable as individuals are fine". He said the convention's protections had to be balanced against freedom of information." I don't know if he was coerced, or volunteered, but it seems to me that the Ukrainian government is really close to the line here. And why even go there?

  2. I am all for Ukraine to win and all, but isn't this a violation of the Geneva convention on the treatment of POWs?
