Representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross have filed a request for access to the colony in the temporarily occupied Olenivka, Donetsk region, where the captured defenders of Ukraine died as a result of explosions. This was announced by the ICRC public relations and media specialist Alexander Vlasenko in a commentary to Suspіlny.

“Of course, we are aware of this situation and have asked for access to this place as soon as possible in order to make sure and see with our own eyes what happened and whether any of the people who are there need our help,” he said..

However, according to Vlasenko, if the representatives of the Red Cross manage to get into the colony, the organization will not provide any information about this until they return from there.. He noted that this is a common practice related to the safety of people..

In addition, a public relations specialist said that during July 30-31, a hotline of the central agency of the Red Cross will operate in Geneva.. Relatives of Ukrainian prisoners of war will be able to apply there to find out the fate of specific people if there is information about them..

" Unfortunately, we can tell this only to relatives,"

Earlier, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba called on the world community to condemn the aggressive violation of international law by the Russian Federation and immediately recognize Russia as a terrorist state after the shelling of a correctional facility in the occupied Olenivka.

As reported, the attack on the colony in Olenivka led to the death of 40 and wounding of 130 Ukrainians, including captured military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and civilians..

Russian propagandists tried to blame the Ukrainian Armed Forces for the murder of Ukrainians, but the General Staff of the Ukrainian forces noted that there were no rocket and artillery strikes in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Olenevka settlement. The goal of the Russian occupiers is an attempt to hide the murders and torture of the Ukrainian military.

Subsequently, from the audio intercepts of the conversations of the Russians, it became known that the Russian military did not fire at the Olenovsky colony, but blew it up from the inside.

According to the Main Intelligence Directorate, the explosions on the territory of the building were a deliberate terrorist act, committed at the command of the owner of the Wagner PMC, Yevgeny Prigozhin.. The main purpose of the terrorist attack is the desire to hide evidence of the total theft of money allocated by the Russian Federation for the maintenance of Ukrainian prisoners of war..
