STORYLINE:
The Associated Press on Friday visited one of the detention centers in Ukraine as part of a media facility, the exact location of which cannot be disclosed due to security restrictions.

Dozens of prisoners of war (POWs) were seen at the center, some of them walking with their hands behind their backs as they were led down a corridor by a guard.

Some had rations of a thin soup with cabbage and onions.

They were also given books, including novels by Russian writer Mikhail Bulgakov.

According to the facility’s officials, more than 300 captives have passed through it since the start of Ukraine’s Kursk incursion, 80% of them being conscripts.

Since the early days of Ukraine’s incursion into Kursk, the country has claimed that, apart from capturing Russian territory, many soldiers showed little resistance and were taken captive.

It remains unclear how many Russian soldiers Ukrainian troops captured during their raid in Kursk.
