The article tells the story of former Ukrainian soldier Pavlo Olenik, who joined Russian forces while in captivity in an attempt to escape detention. He is now detained in Ukraine for questioning regarding the possibility of his treason during the war. The report explains that Russia has formed units composed of Ukrainian prisoners of war, most notably the "Maxim Kryvonis Battalion," which is estimated to have around 200 members and is involved in combat, although these formations are considered unofficial volunteer groups. It is noted that most of these prisoners have been subjected to torture and ill-treatment, and the recruitment processes are often forced or carried out under psychological coercion and pressure. In some cases, prisoners may resort to voluntary enlistment due to dire circumstances. Reports indicate that Russia uses these formations as a strategy to divert attention from the official Russian military, and they are seen as a Moscow-driven practice aimed at bolstering its war effort by recruiting Ukrainians within its ranks.
