Three meals a day and communication with relatives: Ukraine opens a new camp for the captives of the Russian Federation

The Coordination Center for the exchange of prisoners stated that the Russian side retains the Ukrainian military in ordinary prisons and "sometimes inhumane conditions". Due to the large number of Russian prisoners of war, a new camp is opened in Ukraine in the near future for their maintenance. About it reports the project "I want to live". "In parallel, work is underway to prepare for another camp," the message reads.

The center of reception of appeals for capture noted that the increase in the number of prisoners of war is associated with "deterioration of motivation of Russian soldiers. " In addition, as noted in the project, the Russian side blocks the exchange of prisoners of war. The Coordination Center stated that the conditions in the new camp will meet all the requirements of international humanitarian law.

The Russian military will provide medical care, three meals a day, communication with relatives, and constant access to the Red Cross International Committee. "The camp itself is in a deep rear, as it is provided by the Geneva Conventions," the message said. According to the project, the Russian side keeps the Ukrainian military in ordinary prisons and correctional colonies with prisoners.
