Discrepancies Reported In Ukrainian POW Death Counts

developing Radio Svoboda UA Kyiv 14d14d Impact 8
The UN has requested a figure of over 10 regarding Ukrainian prisoners held in Russia. However, the European Union's foreign ministry and the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense report 177 individuals. Viktoria Tsymbaliuk, a representative of the Ministry of Defense's coordination headquarters for the treatment of prisoners, discussed these assessment errors in an interview. She told Politika that Russia does not return all bodies of those who die in captivity. Estimates for the number of Ukrainian prisoners of war who died in Russian custody vary significantly. This lack of access for the Red Cross and other human rights monitors contributes to the uncertainty in the total count.
