Many Ukrainian prisoners of war return with physical and psychological wounds after enduring torture from their Russian captors.
Once back in Ukraine, they are often improperly treated and returned to duty too early, according to former prisoners, officials, and psychologists.
Former prisoners describe experiences of physical abuse, including beatings, electric shocks, and psychological torment such as threats and isolation.
Efforts are underway to improve the support system for returning prisoners of war in Ukraine, including establishing a new center specifically focused on their needs.
