Kyiv initiates creation of intl mission to monitor conditions of Ukrainian citizens in Russian captivity
Ukraine is initiating the creation of an international mission to monitor the conditions and condition of Ukrainian citizens in Russian captivity, head of the President’s Office Andriy Yermak said.
"We have appealed to the ombudsmen of the world, we have appealed to international organizations to join them. And we are now working on creating such a mission that could really get to the places where our prisoners are," Yermak said at a briefing in Kyiv on Friday.
He added that the information center for the release of Ukrainian prisoners does not receive any information from the Russian Federation, and if it does, it is "very difficult to consider it real."
According to Yermak, there was not a single fact of monitoring and control over the conditions of stay of Ukrainian citizens in Russian captivity by the International Committee of the Red Cross, as he told the ICRC president to his face.
