Q&A: Russian POWs, counting casualties and DIY bomb shelters

Your questions answered on conditions for captives

How are Russian POWs treated in Ukrainian captivity? Is Kyiv’s claim that Russia has suffered more than 1 million casualties during the war accurate? And during WW2 Britain used flat-pack bomb shelters - could they also now work in Ukraine?

These are just some of the questions you’ve been sending in to the Ukrainecast team. Jamie and Vitaly are joined by Olga Robinson from ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Verify and Olga Ivshina from ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Russian to answer them.

Today’s episode is presented by Jamie Coomarasamy and Vitaly Shevchenko.
