Consider This from NPR - For Families Of Ukrainian Prisoners Of War, An Agonizing Search For Answers

The soldiers known as the Azovstal defenders are heroes in Ukraine. They held out for months against the Russians, fighting from a bombed-out steel plant in the southern port city of Mariupol.

When the city fell, the Ukrainian soldiers were taken captive by Russia.

Last month, the prison where they were being held was rocked by an explosion. More than 50 people died according to Russian sources, and both Russia and Ukraine blame each other for the attack.

NPR's Joanna Kakissis and producer Iryna Matviyishyn spoke to some of these soldiers' families as they waited to find out whether the men were dead or alive.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
