According to the TASS news agency, the United Nations is ready to send a team of experts to investigate the attack on a detention center for Ukrainian prisoners of war in Donetsk, Deputy Spokesperson of the United Nations Secretary-General Farhan Haq said on the 30th.
The UN secretary-general's deputy spokesman, Farhan Haq, said the UN was ready to send a team of experts to investigate the shelling of the Yelenovka detention facility, subject to the agreement of all parties.
Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Konashenkov reported on the 30th that the Ukrainian army used the US-made "Haimas" multiple-barrel rocket launcher system on the 29th to bombard a detention center for Ukrainian prisoners of war near Yelenovka, Donetsk. The detainees included the "Azov Battalion" militants.
The attack killed 50 Ukrainian prisoners and wounded 73.
Ukraine denies this.
Russia and Ukraine accuse each other of creating attack on Ukrainian prisoner of war camp
Konashenkov said Ukraine and the United States were fully responsible for the attack on the Yelenovka detention center.
The chairman of the Russian State Duma (lower house of parliament) Volodin posted on social media on the 30th that the purpose of the attack on the detention center was to prevent the captured "Azov camp" personnel from confessing their crimes.
Because the trial of the "Azov battalion" personnel will "inevitably lead to the criminal responsibility of some NATO countries".
The Ukrainian General Staff said on the 29th that the Ukrainian armed forces did not launch an attack on the detention center, but the Russian army carried out targeted shelling of the facility.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the incident was the work of Russia and urged the United Nations and the Red Cross to investigate the incident.
In addition, Ukraine's Verkhovna Rada, the Ukrainian parliament, said on the 30th that the Ukrainian side has started the process of returning the remains of the Ukrainian soldiers who died in the Yelenovka attack.
