The United States considers the killing of Ukrainian prisoners by Russians in the Olenivsk colony in the Donetsk region unacceptable, said US Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink.

"

The US will continue to seek accountability for all those involved in these crimes and support giving Ukraine what it needs to defend against Russian aggression.

The shelling of the pre-trial detention center in Olenovka is unacceptable, as are reports of the barbaric treatment of prisoners of war by the Russian military. We will continue to seek accountability and provide Ukraine with what it needs to defend against Moscow's horrific aggression..

On the day of the tragedy, Ukraine appealed to the UN and the Red Cross with a demand to send a mission to the colony to study the circumstances of the explosion.. Both organizations agreed to send their representatives, and the Russian Federation, which controls the Ukrainian village, agreed. But in the end, the representatives of the ICRC could not get into the territory of the colony.
