“Several prisoners of war were brought to us from the temporary detention center, but we refused to accept them.

In the Kherson region, none of the units accepted Russian prisoners of war, ”RIA Novosti quotes him.

Sobolev called such an action a provocation from the Ukrainian side.

“There must be legal grounds for detaining a person, but then they came and said: “Take it away.”

So it doesn't work.

There is a law that should work,” he explained.

Earlier, Elena Shishkina, chairman of the committee on criminal and administrative legislation of the People’s Council of the DPR, said that about 8 thousand prisoners of war of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are in the territories of the Donetsk and Luhansk people’s republics.
