The Russians take Ukrainian POWs out of the places of detention allegedly for exchange and then return them to penal facilities, claiming that Ukraine refuses to exchange them. Ukraine considers it a form of torture.
“Ukrainian prisoners are sometimes deliberately taken out allegedly for exchange and then returned to a penal facility and told that Ukraine refuses to exchange them. We consider it a form of torture. We emphasize that Ukraine has not rejected a single person offered by the Russian side for exchange,” Dmytro Lubinets, the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights, posted on Telegram.
In addition, Lubinets informed that Ukraine constantly raises the issue of the treatment of our prisoners at the international level.
“Thanks to this pressure, detention conditions have recently improved. Those returning from captivity confirm this. The coordination headquarters works to return every Ukrainian home,” he said.
