Russian authorities have imprisoned thousands of Ukrainian civilians, according to a new investigative report by the Associated Press. The non-combatants are being held both deep inside Russia and in occupied territories not far from front lines, where many are forced to dig trenches and graves. Newly uncovered documents reveal that the Kremlin plans to build up to 25 additional jails to hold Ukrainian civilians. AP reporter Lori Hinnant talks with The World’s host Carolyn Beeler.
