Thousands of Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs) are reportedly being held in Russian-held territories in eastern Ukraine, according to human rights advocates.

There are also reports that a large number of those being held in captivity are being tortured.

Global News spoke to one man who was released in a prisoner exchange about Russia's treatment of POWs. He claims interrogators are using electric shock on captives.
