Prison attack that killed Ukrainian POWs is war crime

Ananya Saha-Volodymyr Zelensky has condemned a prison attack that killed dozens of Ukrainian prisoners of war in Russian-occupied Donetsk as a war crime, as both sides traded blame for the deaths.

In a speech on Friday evening, Ukraine's president said more than 50 people had died in the attack on Olenivka, calling it "a deliberate Russian war crime, a deliberate mass murder of Ukrainian prisoners of war".
