Ukrainian authorities have condemned the torture and abuse of Ukrainian women captured by the Russian military as prisoners of war.
According to CNN on the 6th (local time), Ukrainian Human Rights Inspector General Lyudmila Denisova said on the official Telegram page that “15 Ukrainian female soldiers captured by the Russian military were tortured and abused.”
According to the Denisova Administrative Inspectorate, the Russian military took Ukrainian female soldiers captured as prisoners of war to Belarus and then transferred them to a detention center in Bryansk, Russia.
Before being tried here, they were tortured and threatened, and abused such as squatting in the nude and cutting their hair. The Russian military also interrogated them to demoralize them, and some even used them to shoot Russian propaganda videos.
Administrative Inspector General Denisova condemned the actions of the Russian military as a violation of Article 13 of the Geneva Conventions on the Treatment of Prisoners of War. According to that provision, prisoners of war must always receive humane treatment.
“We urge the UN Commission of Inquiry on Human Rights and experts from member states of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe to consider the violations of the human rights of Ukrainian prisoners of war.”
Denisova’s administrative inspectorate earlier said that the day before, Ukrainian prisoners of war had been beaten, starved, frostbitten and threatened.
Russia and Ukraine exchanged 86 POWs since the fifth round of negotiations on the 29th of last month. It was the largest exchange of prisoners of war since the invasion of Ukraine.
