Ukraine Sets Up Hotline For Injured Russian Soldiers, Names It 'Come Back Alive from Ukraine'

Amid the ongoing Russian invasion and a threat of a nuclear war, Ukraine is leaving no stone unturned to fight back.

Even in a time of crisis, the small European nation is raising the bar of abiding by humanitarian values.

Ukraine sets up hotline

The Ukrainian ministry of defence set up a hotline for the family members of Russian soldiers called ¡°Come Back Alive from Ukraine¡±.

According to the Kyiv Independent, the hotline had received ¡°hundreds of calls¡± since the start of the invasion.

Ukraine has been urging family members of captured Russian troops to contact them and to voice their opposition to the country¡¯s involvement in the war.

Ukraine says the hotline is for Russian soldiers who've been killed or captured as Prisoners of War (PoWs) and adds that hundreds of mothers have called from Russia. Some reports claimed that injured Russian soldiers are being admitted to hospitals in Ukraine.

Ukraine publishes videos of injured Russian soldiers

Ukrainian officials have published dozens of videos of what they say are captured Russian soldiers, as the brutal fighting in Ukraine enters its fifth day.

The Telegram channel, which first went live on Saturday, has posted numerous videos and photos showing captured Russian troops, which have led to an outcry from their families who say they were shocked to find out about the involvement of their loved ones in the invasion of Ukraine.

Russia has so far not commented on the videos released and has revealed very little information about the state of its soldiers fighting in Ukraine.

On Sunday evening, the Russian ministry of defence for the first time admitted that there were ¡°dead and wounded soldiers amongst our comrade[s]¡±, but added that ¡°the number of destroyed [Ukrainian] nationalists by far outweigh¡± the number of Russian casualties.
