The invaders opened the "black market" of trade in Ukrainian prisoners of war: in ISW ​​called the goal

Ukrainian prisoners of war, purchased by "Cadyrivs" from the units of the Russian-occupying army, then used to exchange for Chechen fighters. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation work on the "black market" for the sale of Ukrainian prisoners of war, in particular, Russian paramilitary formation, which may be exchanged prisoners of war with Ukraine. This is stated in the report for March 5, the American Institute of War Study.

Thus, the British edition of The Times, citing a spokesman for the Ukrainian Coordination Staff on the Defense of Prisoners of Pursuing Peter Yatsenko, reported that Chechen and warriored units were buying Ukrainian prisoners of war from other Russian military units in the "black market" for prisoners of war. It is reported that then Chechen units use Ukrainian prisoners of war to exchange for Chechen soldiers who were captured by the defense forces.

According to the newspaper, the "Cadyrivs" are generally in the rear, where they have less opportunity to capture Ukrainian prisoners of war and exchange them for Chechen prisoners of war. "Reports that Chechen units obviously exchange prisoners of war with Ukraine indicate that some paramilitary units of the Russian army, such as Chechen Special Forces units, are probably not included in the wider Russian-Ukrainian exchange of prisoners of war. " - the analysts of the institute of war study.

It should be noted that such methods violate the rules of international legislation, which stated - "no special agreement should adversely affect the situation of prisoners of war. " Recall that Osintflow installed the occupiers involved in the execution of captured soldiers of the Armed Forces under Bakhmut. This military crime was carried out by the assault group from the military 331 of the Guards Parachut-Destant Strastic Regiment.
