"POW".

Russia hasn't declared war, so AIUI Russia cannot demand that the pilot be treated as a POW. But (this is a question) does the Ukraine have an obligation to treat the pilot as one, even though Russia cannot demand it?

Ukraine is a signatory to the Third Geneva Convention and thus is obligated to treat Russian pilots properly in any armed conflict regardless of whether there has been a formal declaration of war.
