Original Note:
The Azov Regiment was incorporated into Ukraine's National Guard in 2014. Under the Geneva Conventions (to which Russia is a party) Azov personnel are combatants, so if captured would have to be treated as prisoners of war. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/last-defenders-mariupol-what-is-ukraines-azov-regiment-2022-05-17/ https://guide-humanitarian-law.org/content/article/3/combatants/
