Russia has formed at least 20 filtration camps and prisons within occupied territories of Ukraine, claimed Ukrainian ambassador to international organisations Yevhenii Tsymbaliuk during a meeting of Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Permanent Council.
«At least 20 filtration camps and prisons have been found in occupied territories. This reminds us of Isolation prison in occupied Donetsk – we know of the horrors that take place there. This is why we cannot allow Russia to create more prisons all across Ukraine,» liga.net cites Tsymbaliuk.
During his speech, Tsymbaliuk accused Russia of attempts to make occupied Donetsk and Luhansk regions into lawless territories.
He also said that Russia’s decision to put on trial three Ukrainian armed forces soldiers who happen to have foreign citizenship is alarming.
«No matter how the trial could be imitated, Russia is responsible for all of it. Ukraine demands appropriate humanitarian treatment of Ukrainian soldiers,» he stressed.
