US Edition‘Glory to Russia' Burned onto Ukrainian POW’s Body, Says Ukraine
- A photo showing a Ukrainian soldier with 'Glory to Russia' branded on his body emerged after a prisoner exchange process in June 2025.
- The image is genuine, confirmed by Ukraine's intelligence and Andriy Yusov, who said the soldier was released in an earlier exchange, not the most recent one.
- The soldier's body showed extensive scars, including a large burnt slogan, and a doctor at a rehabilitation center took and posted the photo online highlighting harsh Russian captivity conditions.
- Yusov stated that 90% of Ukrainian POWs released from Russia report violations of detention standards, calling the photo evidence of mistreatment during captivity.
