Ukrainian filmmaker and Kremlin hostage, Oleg Sentsov is to be formally awarded the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought in Strasbourg on December 12, with Sentsov’s cousin and lawyer forced to accept the prize on his behalf. The ceremony will take place as the number of Russia’s Ukrainian prisoners of war and political prisoners has almost reached 100, and that is without counting well over 100 POWs and civilian hostages in occupied Donbas whose release is directly dependent on Moscow.
