What work do captured Russians do and how much are they paid: report from the camp.
Conditions of detention of Russian prisoners
In the camp for Russian prisoners of war, Ukrainian journalists found that the prisoners have normal conditions. They receive a diet of 2200 kilocalories per day, medical care, and a payment of one and a half thousand hryvnias.
In captivity, Russians weave garden furniture, make artificial Christmas trees, and repair broken wooden pallets. This work does not overburden the prisoners and can be performed by soldiers. Officers can join only voluntarily in accordance with the Geneva Conventions.
Only the wounded are exempt from work. For their labor, prisoners receive a payment of 1500 hryvnias. Prisoners can spend their own money in local stores.
Conditions of detention of Kadyrovites
It was previously discovered that captured Kadyrovites, who belong to the militants, have even better conditions. They have fresh repairs in their cells, electric kettles, televisions, bunk beds, clean bedding, and their own library.
The Kadyrovites from the "Akhmat" battalion were captured by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region of Russia. However, the commander of the "Akhmat" special unit, Apty Alaudinov, refused to accept the captured Kadyrovites in the Kursk region.
