The Chairman of the Investigative Committee of Russia ordered, as part of the investigation, to establish the details of persons involved in the abuse of Russian military personnel.
In published videos, released Russian servicemen report that they were subjected to firearms, causing fatal wounds or serious injuries, deprived of sleep, water, food, systematically beaten, kept in unsuitable conditions, without even minimal medical care.
The actions taken violate international law. The provisions of the Geneva Convention relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War establish that inhumane treatment and acts endangering the health of prisoners of war are considered a serious violation of the said convention.
Russian military personnel who have been subjected to bullying will be recognized as victims and interrogated as part of a criminal case about the circumstances of the crimes committed against them. The investigation will organize the necessary work aimed at establishing the identities, places of service and other data of the Ukrainian nationalists and their commanders involved in these atrocities.
