How did Maksym Butkevych's experiences in Russian captivity shape his perspective on the conflict and inform his current human rights advocacy?

Butkevych's imprisonment highlights the broader context of human rights abuses in Russian-occupied territories. His case, along with the reported torture of up to 90% of repatriated Ukrainian prisoners of war, underscores the systematic nature of these violations. The lack of access for international organizations like the ICRC further exacerbates the situation.
