Russia had no intention to exchange Ukrainian prisoners of war and deliberately killed them to hide the use of torture toward prisoners in Olenivka
According to Ukrainian military intelligence, interrogations of the Ukrainian prisoners of war in Olenivka were conducted by the investigators of the so-called “Ministry of State Security of the DPR” together with the representatives of the “PMС Wagner” and the FSB.
During interrogations, Ukrainian prisoners of war were tortured to humiliate and break them morally and psychologically. FSB representatives also planned to involve Ukrainian prisoners in pro-Russian reports. The broadcast’s purpose was to show how the prisoners confessed to “committed crimes, atrocities against the local population, renunciation of the fighters from their views, as well as condemnation of the actions of the political leadership of Ukraine.”
Intelligence reports that the “Wagner PMC” fighters used flammable substances to mine the territory where Ukrainian prisoners were kept. As a result, it led to the rapid spread of fire in the room.
The Main Directorate of Intelligence of Ukraine emphasizes that the Russian side had no intention of exchanging prisoners of war, and to hide the improper conditions and forms of interrogation, which could serve as an evidence base at the Hague Court of Human Rights, deliberately demolished the prisoners.
