Ukraine has submitted a list of POWs to Russia for a 1,000-for-1,000 prisoner swap. Many Ukrainian soldiers have now spent over three years in Russian captivity, where they are often being tortured, abused and offered to "join Russian forces to then occupy Europe."

Russians loved the nazis, and agreed to split Europe with them too!
But then again, they’d been genociding jews, Ukrainians and everyone else for centuries by then, I suppose they saw kindred spirits.
Stop burning strawmen. I’ve neither doubted the Hitler-Stalin pact nor addressed your political ideas. I just questioned if euronews should be labeled trusted and left-leaning as I doubt the do much fact checking and as a 100% child of a capital group they are hardly attracted to left winged values.
Russia contacted Britain and France to fight the Nazis. Britain and France refused to fight Hitler. Thus the Russians made a peace pact to have time to prepare for an attack.
A big thing people often like to leave out.
The peace treaty was for 10 years.
And they made that treaty so they could partition Poland and invade and brutalize Finland, no other reason.
The secret protocol was very clear.
Why are you ignoring the Russian invitation to fight Hitler?
