Ukraine’s Coordinating Center for the Handling of Prisoner of War Issues has demanded that Moscow provide a list of prisoners of war killed and wounded in the explosion that occurred Thursday night in Olenevka, Donetsk.
The center is also seeking to recover the bodies of the dead and has called on the Red Cross and the United Nations to immediately launch an investigation, Bloomberg reports.
Russia has not responded to the request. Moscow has said the deadly attack on the prison was carried out by Kyiv with US-supplied weapons. Russia’s defense ministry earlier published a list of prisoners of war it said were from Ukraine’s Azov battalion killed in Olenevka.
France’s foreign ministry joined the US and EU in condemning the attack, which killed around 50 prisoners of war, as well as recent reports of torture of Ukrainian prisoners. The International Committee of the Red Cross said it had requested access to the prison.
