Ukraine has unilaterally handed over to Russia all seriously wounded invaders captured since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War reported on Telegram on March 24.
“Ukraine has unilaterally handed over seriously injured and seriously ill captured invaders to the Russian side,” the report says.
The agency noted the move was a repatriation rather than the exchange of prisoners, which means all severely wounded prisoners were returned without any conditions, as stipulated by international humanitarian law.
At the same time, systematically neglecting international norms, the aggressor state is still holding thousands of Ukrainian citizens hostage, including seriously ill and wounded ones, civilians, children and women, the elderly, as well as those who were captured by the Russians before the full-scale invasion, the headquarters said.
