The Russian prisoners of war who were exchanged on Feb. 16 had no complaints about the conditions in which they were held captive, Dmytro Lubinets, the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights, has said.
“The invaders had no complaints, comments or suggestions regarding their stay in captivity,” Lubinets wrote on his Telegram channel on Feb. 16.
“And this once again proves that Ukraine adheres to the Geneva Conventions.”
Lubinets noted that some of the Russians asked for forgiveness, while others expressed their desire “for the war to end as soon as possible.”
Ukraine and Russia exchanged prisoners again on Feb. 16. A total of 101 people – 100 soldiers and one civilian – were returned to Ukraine.
Ukraine has complained that some of its captured soldiers are being mistreated in Russian prisons and the International Committee of the Red Cross has not been given proper access to Ukrainian prisoners.
