Western countries, UN, ICRC do not react to torture, execution of Russian POWs

The issue of the condition of Russian captured servicemen is the most critical one nowadays, Mikhail Mizintsev said

MOSCOW, April 8. /TASS/. The Western countries, the UN, the OSCE or the ICRC have not yet reacted to monstrous torture and cruel executions of Russian prisoners of war by the Ukrainian army, head of Russia’s National Defense Control Center Mikhail Mizintsev said.

According to him, the issue of the condition of Russian captured servicemen is the most critical one nowadays.

"The countries of the so-called ‘civilized West,’ the United Nations, the OSCE, the International Committee of the Red Cross as well as other international human rights organizations, displaying complete indifference to humanitarian issues initiated by the Russian Federation, to date, have not reacted in any way to statements by the Russian side about monstrous torture and cruel executions of Russian prisoners of war," said Mizintsev, who heads Russia’s Joint Coordination Headquarters for Humanitarian Response in Ukraine.

He noted that, given multiple facts of the gross violations of the Geneva Convention supported by documents which testify to the inhumane treatment of the Russian prisoners of war, Russia undertakes every effort to give the world real truthful information about the atrocities of the Kiev regime.

"To this end, all reports on the crimes of the Ukrainian army and nationalist battalions are carefully documented and digests are sent to the international organizations, including the UN, the International Committee of the Red Cross, the OSCE and the embassies of foreign countries," the military official emphasized.
