The article is devoted to the evolution of the meaning of the concept of "prisoner of war" from the First World War to the present day. International military law is subject to significant efforts toward codification. The author studies the legal regulation of the international status of "prisoner of war" in Ukrainian and foreign historiography. The author establishes that since the open Russian invasion of Ukraine, Ukrainian legal science has been facing the issue of mass captures of Russian combatants, as well as fighters of the private military company "Wagner" and other private companies.
