"We have already heard it in the summer." The Ombudsman responded to the shelling of the colony in Olenovka with captive Ukrainians

We have already heard it in the summer, ”he writes. Video of the Day Lubinets added that at this time the Ukrainian side did not receive information about the names of the victims and was asked directly to the Russian Human Commissioner Tatiana Moskalkova, and through the UN and the Red Cross. He also stressed that he was ready to personally come to Olenivka to evaluate all the facts and communicate with witnesses of shelling, wounded and detained citizens.

“The motives at which the Russian Federation is firing prisoners of war today is unknown to me. Perhaps it is a banal revenge because of defeat on the front, and perhaps purposeful terror and a demonstration of impunity of the military leadership of the Russian Federation, ”he stressed. Lubinets added that such actions of the Russian Federation show the world that Russia is a terrorist state who seeks to achieve its geopolitical goals using weapons and terror.
