“We call on the entire civilized world not to allow the trial of Ukrainian defenders announced by the executioners in Mariupol. We demand that representatives of the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross be immediately sent to the places where Ukrainian prisoners of war are being held, primarily Olenivka.”
The security and defense forces of Ukraine claim that surrender was the only way to save the fighters who were at the Azovstal steelworks in May.
“In addition to the cells, a special bunker/garage is being set up to receive the trucks that will transport our captured Heroes. This building did not exist before the war, it is being built exclusively for one purpose – the “tribunal”. The building will be connected by a special corridor with cells and a bunker,” said an advisor to the mayor of Mariupol.
