🇺🇦 Ukrainian journalist and human rights defender Maksym Butkevych has been awarded the 2025 Václav Havel Human Rights Prize by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. This award honours outstanding civil society action in defence of human rights across Europe and beyond. Butkevych is a co-founder of the Human Rights Centre Zmina and Hromadske Radio, and for many years has stood at the forefront of defending freedom of expression and dignity. After the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022, he volunteered to join the Ukrainian Armed Forces, serving as a platoon commander. In June 2022, he was captured by Russian forces and sentenced to 13 years in prison in a sham trial. For more than two years, he endured harsh imprisonment before finally being released in a prisoner exchange in October 2024. Accepting the award, Butkevych dedicated it to Ukrainian prisoners of war and civilians illegally detained by Russia, as well as all fellow journalists deprived of their liberty in authoritarian regimes. Congratulations, Maksym! Your courage inspires Ukraine and the world 💙💛

No one exchanges them because civilians are not considered prisoners of war. He notes that many civilian men from Bucha, captured back in 2022, are still being held in Russian captivity.

A Ukrainian Defender spent three years in Russian captivity with a bullet in his heart. Ukrainian cardiac surgeon Borys Todurov said that the Warrior had defended Azovstal and, after being wounded, was taken prisoner in 2022. He was exchanged a few months ago. "For all those three years, he lived with this bullet inside him... Fortunately, it didn’t damage anything. Now we have removed it. He is lucky… I believe he will live a long and happy life," Borys Todurov wrote. 📹: Borys Todurov / Facebook

This is Stephen Hubbard, an American citizen that moved to Ukraine in 2014, and even though "he has never owned a gun and is so non-military" according to his sister, he enlisted in the local Ukrainian territorial defense when Russia invaded in 2022. He was taken prisoner by the Russian terrorists a few weeks later and has been in Russian captivity ever since, yesterday he was sentenced to 7 years in prison for being a "mercenary" in a Russian court. How about getting people like that home President Donald J. Trump instead of Russian "opposition" figures trying to help Russia?
