Russian state news agency RIA Novosti has reported a concerning development in the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. According to the report, Russian authorities are sending Ukrainian prisoners of war (PoWs) to the frontlines to fight on Moscow's side in the war.

Video footage released by RIA Novosti showed Ukrainian PoWs swearing allegiance to Russia, brandishing rifles, and dressed in military attire, as they prepare to join a battalion named after medieval nobleman Bogdan Khmelnitsky, who is considered a national hero in Russia for his role in bringing parts of Ukraine under Moscow's control in the 15th century. This&nbsp;revelation suggests that Ukrainian PoWs are being coerced into fighting for Russia.

<h2>Geneva conventions violations</h2>

The authenticity of the report and the videos remains unconfirmed, and it's unclear whether the PoWs are acting willingly or under duress, reported the Guardian.&nbsp;However, experts have raised concerns that such actions, if true, would constitute a violation of the Geneva Conventions, which prohibit PoWs from being exposed to combat or subjected to unhealthy or dangerous conditions, regardless of their willingness to participate.

Yulia Gorbunova, a senior researcher at Human Rights Watch, explained to the Guardian the challenges faced by PoWs in making voluntary decisions while in coercive custody, suggesting that true voluntariness is difficult to achieve in such circumstances.

Notably, this isn't the first instance of Russia's questionable practices in recruiting combatants. Russia has previously deployed inmates from its own prisons to fight in Ukraine, offering commuted sentences as an incentive for survival. Additionally, the country is using a "conscription campaign" in occupied Ukrainian regions to bolster its forces without resorting to a general mobilisation.

These Ukrainian PoWs, now deployed to fight in eastern Ukraine, do not appear to be part of a conventional Russian military unit. Instead, they are associated with irregular formations that do not adhere to the standard military force structure. This unconventional approach allows Russia to increase its combat force without facing the social implications of a general mobilisation.

The international community is closely monitoring these developments, and concerns are growing about the treatment of Ukrainian PoWs and the potential violations of international humanitarian laws.

Harvard alumnus and hedge fund manager Bill Ackman wrote an open letter urging university president Claudine Gay to take strict measures to reduce antisemitism on campus.

"For the past four weeks since the horrors of October 7th, I have been in dialogue with members of the corporation board, other alumni, as well as students and faculty sharing and comparing our concerns about the growing number of antisemitic incidents on campus, as we wait for you and the University to act.

Palestinian militant group Hamas on Sunday (Nov 5) said that the Israeli military was carrying out "intense bombings" around several hospitals in the north of the Gaza Strip, immediately after internet and phone lines were cut.&nbsp;

This came after Israel accused Hamas of using hospitals for their military operations.

On Sunday, the Israeli Army said that it has exposed Hamas' hidden network of tunnels, rocket launchers and command centres adjoining hospitals in the northern part of war-torn Gaza.

"Hamas systematically exploits hospitals as part of its war machine," Israel's chief military spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari told reporters.

During a press briefing in Tel Aviv, Hagari presented videos, photographs and audio recordings which he claimed illustrated the Palestinian militant group's strategy of using hospitals as shelter and deterring civilians from leaving war zones.

He further said that during the war, around 800 rockets were fired at Israel from Gaza which fell short and landed inside the enclave, claiming the lives of many Palestinians.&nbsp;

As per news agency Reuters, the Hamas group, which is backed by Iran, manufactures some of its rockets locally and also receives some from abroad.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Hagari also levelled some accusations against two other hospitals in Gaza, the Qatari-funded Sheikh Hamad Hospital and a hospital built by groups from Indonesia.
