International Committee of the Red Cross registers Ukrainian servicemen evacuated from Azovstal

“On Tuesday, May 17, 2022, the ICRC started to register the Ukrainian defenders, including the wounded evacuated from the Azovstal steelworks, at the request of the parties. The work continued on Wednesday [May 18, 2022] and then on Thursday [May 19, 2022]. It is noted that the ICRC does not transport prisoners of war to places of their further detention,” ICRC informed.

“The registration process that the ICRC facilitated involves the individual filling out a form with personal details like name, date of birth, and closest relative. This information allows the ICRC to track those who have been captured and help them keep in touch with their families,” the report said.
