The Ministry of Defense of Russia announced that it had invited experts from the United Nations to investigate the circumstances of the attack on the detention facility in Donetsk, where Ukrainian prisoners of war were held. In the attack, over 50 prisoners were killed, and around 70 others were injured. Russia had at least 48 free hours to plant evidence of a Ukrainian attack
Pro-Russian separatists have claimed in recent days that Ukraine fired missiles at a prison in Donetsk that housed Ukrainian prisoners of war. Dozens of Ukrainian prisoners were killed, and around 70 were wounded. Russia claims that this is a Ukrainian operation, and that the Ukrainian army is deliberately killing its soldiers who were captured, so that their comrades fighting on the battlefield would not dare to be captured, and would fight to the last drop of their blood.
On the other hand, in Ukraine, Russia is accused of the massacre of 53 prisoners of war who were bombed by rockets or shells, while they were imprisoned in the prison, and they had no ability to escape from the attacked compound. As mentioned, Russia announced yesterday (Sunday) that it has decided to invite an international delegation, for the purpose of an independent investigation, which will point to the party responsible for the attack.
It should be emphasized that an investigation of this type will have a very difficult time getting to the truth, because the area is under complete Russian control, and the attack was carried out on Friday. That is, the request to open an investigation came only two days after the attack, and after Russia had at least 48 free hours to plant evidence of a so-called Ukrainian attack, and to erase evidence of a Russian attack, if indeed there was one.
To this must also be added the length of time that will be extended until the UN forms a delegation of investigators and transports it to the border between the countries, something that will continue for several more days. In Russia they claim that the remains of a weapon used by the Ukrainians were found in the Shabar detention facility, and in Ukraine they will of course claim that even if remains Such will indeed be found by the international investigators at the scene of the disaster, this does not prove Ukraine’s guilt, because it is possible that Russia collected the ‘evidence’ from other scenes that Ukraine did attack with this weapon, and then the findings were scattered at the scene of the attack on the prison in Donetsk.
