The Russians tortured 95% of prisoners of war, - the head of the UN Human Rights Mission

According to Daniel Belle, this is the worst thing she saw in her 20 years of work. Bell also stated that the difference in attitude to prisoners of war in Ukraine and Russia is tremendous. The Russian invaders mocked and tortured 95% of Ukrainian servicemen who were hostile. In an interview with the Dutch TV channel Nederlandse Omroep Stichhting (Nos), the head of the Monitoring Mission of the United Nations in Ukraine in Ukraine Daniel Bell said.

"This is the worst thing I saw for my twenty -year -old career. Torture is regular and widespread, more than 95 percent of prisoners have undergone them," Belle said. She said that the Russian authorities are torturing Ukrainian prisoners of war, starting with the first interrogations, and characterized the Russian practice of torture Ukrainian prisoners of war as "widespread and systematic.

" Belle emphasized that the torture of Ukrainian prisoners of war is a war crime and violation of Article 3 of the Geneva Convention on the Treatment of Prisoners. In addition, Daniel Belle emphasized a tremendous difference between how they treat prisoners in Ukraine and Russia. According to her, UN representatives have full access to Russian prisoners in Ukraine and can communicate with them, but are deprived of the opportunity to communicate with Ukrainian captives in Russia.

"The treatment of prisoners in Ukraine and Russia is completely excellent. The Ukrainian conditions of detention meet international humanitarian law," Belle said. We will remind, on August 7, four fighters of the Defense Forces of Ukraine captured more than 40 soldiers of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the Kursk Oblast.
