Released Ukrainian POWs return to fight Russian forces.

Ukrainian soldiers who were held as prisoners of war by Russia and survived captivity have returned to the battlefield, seeking to retake the city of Mariupol. They claim that their Russian captors were responsible for a massive explosion and fire that killed over 50 of their fellow service members. The soldiers insist that the conflict is now personal for them and are determined to prove that they were not broken by their captors. The United Nations had opened an investigation into the incident but had to drop it due to lack of safe access to the Russian-held territory.
