That’s according to Melinda Simmons, the UK Ambassador to Ukraine.
“Olenivka needs investigating. It looks like part of an increasingly worrying pattern of the worst kind of human rights abuses, and poss war crimes, being committed in the occupied East of Ukraine with impunity,” the ambassador tweeted Saturday.
According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Russian military deliberately attacked the facility where Ukrainian POWs were held.

The General Staff decried the Kremlin's statements about the alleged shelling of civilian infrastructure and population by the Armed Forces of Ukraine as “blatant lies and provocation.”
According to Ukrainian intelligence, the Ukrainian POWs could have been killed by mercenaries with the Wagner (Liga) Private Military Company, integrated into the Russian invasion forces.
