Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights Lyudmila Denisova said that Ukrainian prisoners who returned from Russia spoke about the violation by the occupiers of the Geneva Convention on the Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners of War. On her Telegram channel, she told the stories of the military who returned to Ukraine on April 1.

" From time to time they took them out one at a time: they beat them with rifle butts, shot at the ear, intimidated. The guys from Snake Island, who were towed to Sevastopol, were used by local reporters for propaganda, talking about the humane Russian authorities, which organized the delivery of prisoners home,"

According to Denisova, many soldiers were found to have frostbite on their limbs after captivity.. All due to the fact that they were taken to the Russian Federation in an unknown direction and settled in tent camps, where the air temperature was -20 degrees.

"

Such actions are evidence of Russia's violation of Article 13 of the Geneva Convention.
