Killing of Ukrainian Prisoners in Olenivka:
Ample Evidence That Russia Responsible

According to Podolyak, the strike on the building in which Ukrainian prisoners of war were kept was a cynical and well-thought-out false flag operation on the part of Russia in order to blame Ukraine.

“We know that the Russian Federation transferred part of the Ukrainian defenders to these barracks a few days before the strike and shelling from the Russian side was recorded,” Podolyak said.

“The purpose (of this crime is) to discredit Ukraine in front of our partners and disrupt weapons supplies.”

“This is a deliberate, cynical, calculated mass murder of Ukrainian prisoners, which requires (a full) investigation. We demand a reaction from the UN and international organizations."
