My bad, it was Paul Urey before they even sentenced him.

An aid worker according to reports, but I trust "news" organizations as far as I can throw them.

If they starved him, they're even dumber than they look. Western citizens are very valuable as a means of blackmail and humiliation of the West. It is rank stupidity to torture or starve them.

Maybe you should see how they look like when they publicly parade them around.

War takes a toll. It's not as if Russian POWs look like that "General Pavel" the Western media hoaxed about.

And for the longest time the Soviets didn't even recognise the very concept of a POW, refusing to sign any international convention, and in Chechnya they gave it to 0 prisoners

Chechens were (actual) insurrectionists. I'm pretty sure those are not considered POWs.

It's just a "special military operation",

You think they actually take their words seriously? Either something is going on, or it is rank incompetence to e.g. not bomb Ukrainian government buildings.
