This morning it became known about the shelling of the prison in Olenivka, a village in the occupied part of Donetsk region. About 50 Ukrainian prisoners of war died after shelling the building. It is believed that all of them are from the “Azov” regiment. The Russian army held them in Olenivka.
The Russian side reported that the shelling was carried out by the Ukrainian armed forces. The official position of the Ministry of Defense of Russia is that Ukraine thus wanted to cause a new scandal and spoil the reputation of the Russian army. The Russians claim that this is a provocation by the Armed Forces.
