"Not the first crime in this war." Russia deliberately killed the captives of Azov in Olenivka - the Foreign Ministry of Poland
He stressed that this crime should not be left without consequences for the Russian aggressor country and called for Olenivka "very loud". “Russia has committed a war crime again, it is not the first crime in this war. It is a crime that is very reminiscent of those that Russia has made for many decades of its existence - the murder of prisoners. We ourselves have such an experience related to Katin, ”the Polish diplomat said.
In his opinion, Russia kills peaceful Ukrainians just to cause horror, and he emphasized that the terrorists act. Yablonsky is also convinced that it is already necessary to completely isolate Russia from participating in all international and multilateral formats. He stressed that many dictatorial regimes lost power at the end, and their creators were held accountable for their crimes. On July 29, the Russian Federation killed captive Azov in a colony in occupied Olenivka.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces reported that in this way the aggressor country wanted to hide torture over captives and executions, which were carried out by orders of the occupation administration and command in the temporarily occupied territory of Donetsk region.
