Ukraine’s Commissioner for Human Rights said that he had not received answers to his requests from the United Nations regarding the Russian war crime in occupied Olenivka, Donetsk region, as a result of which Ukrainian prisoners of war were killed.

“We have communication with the International Committee of the Red Cross. As for the United Nations, the situation is worse: I am officially sending letters and requests. I did it on the first day – right after the tragedy. And I personally have not received any adequate signal, not even an official one. I can publicly confirm this.”
Relatives of fighters of the “Azov” regiment also complain about international organizations.
In particular, the family members of Ukrainian killed war prisoners complain that the Red Cross still hasn’t disclosed either the exact number of victims murdered in the Russian captivity or the information about injured Ukrainian soldiers kept in Donetsk hospitals in the Russia-controlled territory.
According to the ombudsman, the Russians agreed to return the bodies of prisoners of war who died as a result of the explosion in Olenivka, but “after the completion of the investigation.”
