A new investigation has uncovered that Russia is using captured Ukrainian soldiers to make propaganda videos.
Propaganda is information that is spread to promote a certain political point of view, often in a way that is biased or misleading.
According to reports from NBC News, these videos show prisoners of war (POWs) speaking to the camera. Experts believe these men are being forced to talk so they can make Russia look better or hurt the morale of Ukraine.
International groups have long said that treating prisoners this way is wrong. Under international law, prisoners of war should be protected from being put on public display or humiliated.
These videos have appeared across various news outlets and social media platforms. They are designed to influence what people think about the ongoing war.
While the war continues on the battlefield, this report shows that there is also a war being fought for public opinion. By using these videos, Russia hopes to control the story of what is happening in the conflict.
This news comes as world leaders are gathering at the United Nations to discuss major global issues, including the situation between Russia and Ukraine.
