Trump Putin talks about “painful” for the former Ukraine prisoners

While President Trump is seeking to penetrate talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday, the former Ukrainian war prisoners torn.

The ceasefire deal can liberate thousands of Ukrainian soldiers who are still in Russian prisons, but this may also mean waiving the lands that have died thousands of fighting for defense.

“The men there were rot,” said Olexander Didor, a member of the thirty -sixth marine infantry brigade in Ukraine in April 2022.

Speaking through a translator last week, Didor said that the prisoners of war are under “inhumane conditions, such as torture and psychological pressure.”

Yulia Hooroshnska, another former soldier who spent four months in Russian families, said he was “incredibly painful” to think about the terms discussed to end the war.

Trump has offered “land swap” between Russia and Ukraine, which seems to be waived by many eastern Ukraine to Russia in exchange for withdrawing from other parts of the country.

Ukrainian President Folodimir Zelinski said on Sunday that the Ukrainian constitution would not allow such concessions.

“I don’t want more deaths, but I want everything that has been taken away from us,” said Horoshnska.

Didor and Hooroshnska captive during the siege of Russia to the southern city of Mariolol, which became a symbol of Putin’s cruelty and destruction in Ukraine. Hundreds were killed in the bombing of children and civilians from the war. The maternity suite was targeted in a Russian attack. At least 8,000 people were killed during the siege of nearly three months.

The former prisoners of Mariopol traveled to Washington, DC, last week to increase awareness of the fate of their brothers and sisters in the weapon. They are ambassadors of Azovstal, an initiative that helps former prisoners of war to rehabilitate and re -integrate into society and the workforce.

“We have [been] “We are the people who came here specifically to talk about the old Ukrainian warriors and remind people that they are still defending the mariolpol in Russian families.” We hope and hope that the United States will help us and that our brothers and sisters in weapons will return. “

It was reported that Russia was carrying about 4,000 Ukrainian war prisoners in 2024, although the exact number is not recognized by Moscow or Kiev. Among those prisoners, between 1500 and 2000 of the arrested soldiers have been defending the mariolol for more than three years.

The war transformed the city of half a million people “into an indisputable thing: interlocking chaos of collapsed buildings and the place of shallow graves,” a report of 2024 indicated.

When the city fell under the Russian occupation, the civilians and the armed forces in Ukraine took up defenses in the actions of Azovstal Steel, a sprawling industrial compound that spanned more than 4 square miles. While some evacuations occurred under siege, Russia captured thousands of soldiers in its acquisition of the factory in May 2022.

Didor was seriously injured during an attack from a Russian tank during that time. I knocked unconscious and seriously injured that a mark was initially placed as dead. But when the signs of life are shown, their Russians were transferred to medical care. He lost his left eye. Three fingers were amputated on his right hand, and his left hand is non -functional, shattered by a flight. The shock wave broke his teeth. In captivity, he said that he suffered from physical and psychological abuse.

He said that his kidnappers did not bother to put his broken arm. “This talks about the medical assistance that the Russians provide to the Ukrainian war prisoners when they claim to do so,” he told the Hill newspaper through a translator.

He told The Hill to maintain his mind over the most famous families, he relied on his sports training.

Heart of Azovstal was launched by the billionaire Rinat Akhmetov, the richest man in Ukraine and head of the business group that owns Illich Steel and Iron Works and Azovstal Steel Plant in Mariupol.

The company made a decision to suspend factory operations and open factories for civilians in the wake of Russia’s extensive invasion. Azovstal was described at the time as a “castle in a city” by a Russian separatist deputy leader.

In addition to the Ukrainian soldiers, Russia also carries Ukrainian civilians in captivity and kidnapped tens of thousands of Ukrainian children, as the International Criminal Court considered a war crime.

“We have to remind you of that not only [Ukrainian] Soldiers in captivity. There are many civilians [in captivity]. they [Russians] They kidnap children and civilians. They are in the same circumstances [as POWs]DMYTRO Morozov, an ambassador to Heart of Azovstal.

Morozov said that he lost nearly 90 pounds in Russian families, a shocking amount of his 6 -foot frame. Morozov was in the infantry of the National Guard, during the Russian siege on the mariolpol.

Morozov said he was determined to not surrender to the Russians, who pressed him to operate his country. He directed the power to know his wife and child, who fled from Mariolpol for Kiev.

He said: “Russia killed my wife, brother, and many people in my family. My mother is alive.

Morozov was released in one of the first exchanges between prisoners between Ukraine and Russia, which gave priority to severe wounded, patients and women. Over the course of three years of war, the Ukrainian government succeeded in implementing about 60 prisoners-the largest in mid-May, when 1,000 Ukrainians were returned from Russia, including civilians.

This exchange was made through the direct negotiations that the Trump administration incited in May, in a batch to end the war.

The physical condition of the returning Ukrainian soldiers – analyzed heads, comic bodies, and signs of torture and abuse – are added only to urgency for more bares.

Horoshnska said that she almost lost her will to live during the most famous of her in the Russian prison, “because I lost everything that was important to me.”

Horoshnka was injured in a Russian air strike and was receiving medical treatment in Azovstal when she was exposed to the Russian occupation.

“On the day I was injured, my entire species was killed. … I often thought that I was a mistake I survived, but I was thinking about my daughter and understood that she needed me.”

Mariupol is located in the southeastern Donetsk region of Ukraine, which is still largely under Russian control, which probably makes it part of Trump’s “land swap”.

Russia controls about 20 percent of the Ukrainian lands, including a large part of the east of the country, the Crimea in the south, the pockets in the northeast, and the areas of Sumi and Karkiv.

In Saturday’s video title, Zelinski said that the Ukraine constitution prevents him from giving lands. But more than half of the Ukrainians agreed that Kiev should be open to making some regional concessions as part of a peace agreement to end the war, according to the recent poll, which was held.

Putin suggested ending the fighting in exchange for the delivery of Ukraine for nearly a third of the eastern Donetsk region, which is still controlled, according to the Wall Street Journal. The confrontation line will be frozen elsewhere, including in the Zaborisvia and Khairsson regions that Russia also claims to be its own.

According to the magazine, it would have been a counter -performance from Europe, Ukraine, the entire Donetsk region, in exchange for withdrawing from Russia from occupied parts of Zaborisvia and Khairsson in the south. The European plan also calls for Ukraine Iron Security guarantees, including the potential NATO membership.

Horoshanska was reflected on the difficult options of Ukraine and all that is lost.

She said: “I want to return to the house, and this is true that the building, as my house, does not exist. But I want to return to the area where I was born and brought up and visit the graves where there are my relatives.”
