Russia Denies Red Cross Access To Ukrainian Prisoners

Radio NV Kyiv 15d14d Impact 6

A research group led by Professor Halagida at the Ukrainian-Catalan University is determining the number of Ukrainian casualties in the ongoing conflict. Oleksandr Pavlichenko, Executive Director of the Ukrainian Helsinki Union for Human Rights, reported a rise in prisoner executions. Reports of these executions have been published on social media platforms. Radio Svoboda reported a rise in executions since approximately November, including cases documented on social media. The report cites a lack of accountability from Russian command and testimony from Russian prisoners of war alleging direct orders not to take Ukrainian military personnel captive. The report suggests these actions have become a pattern for Russian military forces.

The report suggests these actions have become a pattern for Russian military forces. Interrogations of Russian prisoners of war reportedly include admissions of receiving orders to carry out executions, though direct evidence from command is currently lacking. Alexander Pavlichenko cautioned that these testimonies must be viewed with care as they were given in captivity. The Russian leadership has not commented on reported killings of Ukrainian prisoners. Kyiv reports that Moscow typically prevents authorized representatives from visiting Ukrainian prisoners of war held in Russia. The source noted that access is restricted to authorized bodies from the conflicting parties. The source specified that Russia is not allowing 'authorized representatives' like the Red Cross to visit Ukrainian prisoners, a requirement under the Third Geneva Convention.
