No it isn’t. This is false information. The Geneva convention makes no provision for photographing/videography of POW. The section that touches on it states:
"... prisoners of war must at all times be protected, particularly against acts of violence or intimidation and against insults and public curiosity."
This has been interpreted to mean that they shouldn’t be shown in humiliating or insulting circumstances. It certainly doesn’t ban all pictures of prisoners, it is completely dependent on the context.

Finally, what do you think should be done when someone breaks the Geneva convention?

Article 14 says that they are entitled in all circumstances
"to respect for their persons and their honour."

You think by being paraded to the world as a prisoner, which by any reasoning is a rather degrading position to be in, is respecting their person and their honour?

Zero context needed, pretty clear cut in black and white.


As for what should be done, personally and I kniw it is not an opinion shared, I would say that anyone convicted of breaking the conventions, or convicted of war crimes of any kind, is punishable by death.

@Rroff The other day the EU was spending 600m Euro's a day on gas up from a pre war 200m Euros. Now imagine those transfer going through China's new payment system. It begins to build scales of economy and China is far more non-interference than the US. You can well imagine Iran, Russia, Venezuela and other major petrochem naughty boys moving out of US control. I don't disagree that China is no great friend but they aren't an active enemy for many of the international crazy gang. Likewise Visa and Masercard have pulled out of Russia and China's equivalent is moving in. The bigger the pool of users the more attractive it becomes. It will be an interesting few years. I worry we're now moving toward a post global bi-polar World again.

In respect to China and non-interference - they tend to go at it differently - get their grip into countries bit by bit and before they know it they can't make a move without China's say so. You only have to look at places like Hong Kong and how the transition has gone to see it.

Was there not an issue where the EU were paying farmers to leave fields unused?

Could this land not be used? It would seem prudent to increase the herds - and encourage people to eat environmentally friendly British produce and reduce intake of bread/pasta to improve the nations diet.

This crisis has shown that all countries should be as self sufficient as possible in relation to energy and food.

Yes farmers were paid to keep fields effectively empty.

In theory they could make use of these fields now, but as Freakbro pointed out, most of these farmers now don't have the equipment to harvest wheat/grain, the equipment is expensive and it'll take a number of years to get things up and running.

So you want Ukranians who take a picture of a Russian soldier put to death?
What a load of ****, you're delusional.

With Zelensky coming out about not joining NATO and the issues with the disputed regions, i imagine there might be a chance of a deal soon.

Russia must realise that this is not sustainable for them, and the longer this goes on, the more and more costly it is going to get.

I thought he was still interested in joining NATO? Especially if they can force Russia to withdraw. Did i miss something?

I'm finding it rather amusing that Russia are bothering to develop a list of banned imports and exports, by the end of the week it's likely they won't have much they can actually import.

Aware it's not directly on the subject but all these bills/regulation are being passed due to the conflict, so I believe it's relevant.

Russia can fix all of this, call a ceasefire and start doing more talking and less shooting/bombing.

Hopefully this is a major move that Russia wants to talk, just stop killing people, come to the table with Ukraine and the West, start talks, this goes on the suffering for both Ukraine and Russian people will be insane, plus people in the West will be suffering soon who simply cannot afford to live due to energy cost and fuel cost increases.

War will create suffering world wide, Russian economy will be destroyed with lifes destroyed and people in Ukraine are dying and losing their homes.

When will they learn, stop fighting, start talking, Russia clearly has some worries whether propaganda and lies who knows, but until they talk and start negotiating no one is getting anywhere just life is getting worse for everyone including Putin and his rich cronies who are now probably not as rich.
