StopRussianRecruiters.org, in partnership with the "I Want to Find" project, publishes verified profiles of foreign nationals recruited into the Russian Armed Forces who are now held as prisoners of war in Ukraine - to expose Russia's global recruitment machine, urge governments to take diplomatic action to bring their citizens home, and call on the international community to end this practice of deception and coercion once and for all. We encourage relatives of prisoners of war to appeal both to Russian authorities and to their own governments to accelerate the process of bringing their loved ones home.
