Demonstrated prisoners "in good condition": experts of the OSCE acknowledged that the Russian Federation is hiding tortured Ukrainians

To spread: the Russian authorities hide from the International Committee of the Red Cross of sick and tortured Ukrainian prisoners of war and gives the opportunity to communicate only with those prisoners who look good. But even during conversations with Ukrainians in good condition, the majority of legal norms related to compliance with international law, members of the independent expert expert mission of the Moscow OSCE mechanism during a press conference violated the Ukrinform correspondent.

In particular, Professor Erve Asensio noted that the ICCH has no free access to the maintenance of Ukrainian prisoners of war, and in those colonies where this access was provided, it was unable to visit all the prisoners. The Russians allowed to see only with the prisoners defined by Ukrainian military. According to Professor Veronica Belkova, the current situation is "somewhat better" than before, but "much worse than it should be by legal standards.

" "It is declared that the visits sometimes happen, but the ICCH often does not allow you to visit all places of detention or talk with prisoners alone, although it should be a rule," Belkova explained. At the same time, Professor Mark Klaberg noted that the former prisoners of war confirm that during the inspections they were shown only those prisoners who were "in good condition". "There was no access to those who were ill or were ill -treatment.

Everything was controlled by the Russian authorities, although the ICCC should have free access," Klaberg emphasized. Journalists noted that in the final report of the OSCE Expert Mission, it is emphasized that the practice of treating the Russian Federation with Ukrainian prisoners of war, which includes execution, systematic torture, deprivation of the right to a fair trial and retention in inhuman conditions, testifies to war crimes, and in some cases.
