Total luck, I recalled this popped out in Fritter half a week ago.
What I found equally interesting were the videos where aggresor POWs phoned their families and told them about the war and to contact https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_of_the_Committees_of_Soldiers%27_Mothers_of_Russia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_of_the_Committees_of_S.... This was in the early days when aggresor still suppressed tho news, and this was a method to punch through the media censorship. Ukraine was criticised for this practice, because filming it allegedly violates dignity of POWs, so the videos don't appear anymore. But nonetheless I think it was very smart.
- waffleiron 4y ago> because filming it allegedly violates dignity of POWs It wasn’t just about their dignity, but the fact that this was a likely breach of the Geneva convention. https://www.smh.com.au/world/europe/ukraine-s-videos-of-crying-russian-prisoners-could-violate-the-geneva-conventions-20220307-p5a2f7.html https://www.smh.com.au/world/europe/ukraine-s-videos-of-cryi...
- throw_a_grenade 4y agoAFAIU it wasn't clear if it really was a breach of the Convention, and the videos appear to not involve intimidation nor public curiosity mentioned in the art. 13. So I didn't mention it. But at least some af them violated POW's privacy because their faces weren't blurred.
