And the fate of the Azovstal defenders deserves special attention here.
The Russian “investigation” regarding Ukrainian prisoners of war is addressed not only to Ukraine, but also to other, foreign states. Thanks to these courts, the occupiers not only expect the mobilization of their own electorate around the massacre of the enemy's symbols, such as the defenders of Azovstal, but also hope for the demoralization of Ukrainian society, provoked by the inability to influence the fate of their defenders, they note in their material “OCCUPIED. How and why does Russia fabricate evidence against Ukraine in the captured territories” analysts of the civil network “OPORA” Oleksandr Klyuzhev and Anatoly Bondarchuk.< /p>
Yes, Putin's investigators are “checking” Ukrainian servicemen for “involvement” in the cases they initiated in Donetsk and Luhansk regions. Materials for prosecution are handed over to the so-called “L/DNR” law enforcement agencies, which have canceled the moratorium on execution of death sentences. These so-called courts of occupation administrations have already sentenced three volunteers who have or previously had foreign citizenship to the death penalty. Now these “cases” are on the so-called appeal, during which the leaders of the occupation administrations demand that foreign countries come into contact with them.
A separate track, ideological and blackmail, is the announced pseudo-trials against servicemen of the “Azov” regiment and other defenders of “Azovstal”. Therefore, analysts emphasize that the political leadership of Ukraine should already think about how to respond to the Russian operation against the defenders of Azovstal, in order to help them and prevent destabilization inside the country.
“The signal of the Russians very simple – force the civilized world to negotiate with them against the background of the threat of execution of prisoners of war. There is also the occupier's zeal to force the leaders of foreign countries to enter into a dialogue with the “republics” recognized by the Russian Federation, whose leaders directly threaten prisoners of war with the death penalty. In addition, the Russians hope to trade the fates of the prisoners to ease the sanctions. For them, prisoners of war are a commodity, and they do not even hide their own involvement in terrible threats, handing over their “materials” to the occupation administrations. For us, these are the fates of our people and the daily suffering of their families,” the authors emphasize.

“After the meeting of the investigative committee in Kherson, one cannot help but pay attention to two trends. First, the FSB of Russia finds more and more “saboteurs” and “extremists” in the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions. Secondly, the leaders of the occupation administrations threaten people with deportation for “extremist” views. The trips of the investigative committee of the Russian Federation in the Kherson region are a sign of preparations for a large-scale purge of those who disagree with the occupation and therefore a very bad signal for our compatriots,” the authors emphasize.
