Fox News
The Ukrainian soldiers who surrendered Mariupol's Azovstal steel plant, the last bastion of resistance to Russia, have become prisoners of war in Russian-controlled areas, the International Committee of the Red Cross reported, after registering hundreds of POWs.
The POWs are being held in a separatist-controlled region of eastern Ukraine, the organization said.
"The registration process that the ICRC facilitated involves the individual filling out a form with personal details like name, date of birth and closest relative," a statement from the Red Cross said Thursday. "This information allows the ICRC to track those who have been captured and help them keep in touch with their families."
