Kuznetsov added that he had recently returned from the NVO zone, which he visited as part of the parliamentary monitoring of regional assistance to the mobilized.
The parliamentarian explained that a priest had addressed him there.
“And he told me that he was sitting (in prison. -
RT
) with a group of civilian prisoners in inhuman, inhumane conditions in terms of maintenance and nutrition ... And this is not even military prisoners, these are civilian prisoners.
They are kept in isolation wards, prisons simply because they expressed sympathy for Russia, corresponded with someone from the DPR, for careless words.
Therefore, I believe that this should be done, ”he stressed.
The interlocutor of RT expressed confidence that "yesterday's egregious case of a war crime" is only part of the big picture of mass crimes against humanity in Ukraine.
“I am a deputy and my task is to reduce the amount of injustice and suffering in the world.
We must try harder to help and care, especially for civilian prisoners of war.
In general, this topic should be privatized.
It shows our moral superiority.
Any normal person cannot get past such a mass crime that is taking place, ”he concluded.
Earlier it became known that Kuznetsov sent an appeal to the chairman of the Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin, with a request to investigate a video that showed how Ukrainian nationalists shot at point-blank range, presumably, three Russian soldiers who had surrendered.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, commenting on this video, noted that while Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky travels around Europe, “the Nazis who stayed at home shoot the prisoners.”
