Inside a Ukrainian prison for women who sided with Russia

Since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion, Ukrainian courts have convicted thousands of people of collaboration and treason. The Kyiv Independent’s Kateryna Hodunova and Olena Zashko report from a penal colony in southeastern Ukraine that holds women who sided with Russia. Through conversations with prisoners, prison staff, and representatives of the state program “I Want to Go to My People,” which allows some collaborators to be transferred to Russia in exchange for Ukrainian citizens held by Moscow, the report explores why some Ukrainians chose to side with the invading country and how Ukraine deals with them.
