'The more people leave Donetsk region now, the fewer people the Russian army will have time to kill', Ukraine's leader said
Meanwhile, Ukrainian and Russian officials continue to blame each other for the deaths of dozens of Ukrainian prisoners of war in an attack on a prison in a separatist-controlled area of Donetsk. The International Red Cross asked to visit the prison to make sure the scores of wounded prisoners had proper treatment, but said its request had not been granted so far.
The ICRC, which has organized civilian evacuations and worked to monitor the treatment of POWs held by Russia and Ukraine, said it requested access to the prison “to determine the health and condition of all the people present on-site at the time of the attack.” The Ukrainian military accused the Russians of shelling the prison to cover up the alleged torture and execution of Ukrainians there.
