The crime committed by the Russian Federation in Olenivka has no statute of limitations. The UN mission should investigate the killing of prisoners.
This is reported by RBC Ukraine with reference to the statement of the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights Dmytro Lubinets.
On the second anniversary of the terrorist attack in Olenivka, Lubinets called on the United Nations to resume work on investigating the killing of Ukrainian prisoners of war.
The Ombudsman recalled that on August 3, 2022, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said that the organization was preparing a group of experts to investigate the deaths of prisoners in Olenivka. 5 months later, he disbanded the mission to establish the facts of the attack on the colony in Olenivka due to lack of security guarantees!
“Russia has not granted access to Olenivka to either Ukraine or international organizations. However, another factor that may be the reason for the dissolution of the mission is that out of the three foreigners who are part of it, virtually all of them are under Russian influence,” he emphasized.
At the same time, according to Lubinets, the UN mission has never agreed to familiarize itself with Ukrainian materials on the explosion in the colony.
“I have repeatedly tried to meet with its members and expressed my readiness to personally hand over the materials that Ukraine has. I also offered the Russian Ombudsman to visit the site of the tragedy together, but was refused,” said the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights.-
The Ombudsman emphasized that the crime in Olenivka still remains unpunished.
