In Ukraine, a special camp has been created for Russian prisoners of war who have no prospect of a quick return to their country, where they are kept separately from those who have recently been captured, or are subject to exchange. For the needs of one person, the state allocates 3,000 hryvnia per month, said the Minister of Justice of Ukraine Denis Malyuska.

According to the Geneva Convention, prisoners of war have certain rights that must be respected by any country at war.. Therefore, in the Ministry of Justice, the announced expenses are considered justified.. The cost of the monthly maintenance includes food, clothing, hygiene products, medical care, as well as utility bills and wages of the camp staff..

Representatives of the Red Cross have access to Russian prisoners of war.

“Our minimum task is to keep prisoners of war in such conditions that later no one could say that we are torturing such persons, committing war crimes against them, etc..

Russian prisoners of war are, first of all, an exchange fund so that our Ukrainian defenders can be released from enemy captivity,” Denis Malyuska stressed..

Despite the information about the improper detention of Ukrainian prisoners of war in Russia, the Minister of Justice believes that Ukraine must comply with international law and not stoop to the barbaric methods of the aggressor country.

Earlier, Deputy Prime Minister Irina Vereshchuk stated that there were about 600 Russian prisoners of war in Ukraine..
