The Ukrainian authorities declared the unwillingness of the ICRC to protect Ukrainian prisoners of war

“Unfortunately, we did not see the readiness of the International Committee of the Red Cross to do everything possible to protect the Ukrainian prisoners,” RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

Yermak said that Kyiv hopes for decisive action by the ICRC and a clear public position.

Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, at a meeting with the head of the ICRC, Peter Maurer, stated the need for humanitarian support for the republics of Donbass.
