Kiev notified Britain that it refused to comply with the Geneva Convention on prisoners of War
MOSCOW, April 6 - RIA Novosti. The Kiev regime applies torture and violence to Russian servicemen akin to punishers during the Great Patriotic War, and the UN, OSCE and ICRC do not notice this, said the head of the National Defense Control Center of the Russian Federation, Colonel-General Mikhail Mizintsev.
"It has been reliably established that Russian servicemen are subjected to torture, violence, bullying, which by their inhumanity copy the actions of the punishers during the Great Patriotic War, and all this is widely distributed on the Internet and the media. Unfortunately, such egregious facts remain without the attention of the world community, including the UN, OSCE and ICRC," Mizintsev said.
According to him, Western countries are not only aware of Kiev's gross violations of international humanitarian law against Russian prisoners of war, but are also trying to help the Ukrainian authorities avoid responsibility.
"This is evidenced by the fact that the Kiev regime notified the British Foreign Office on April 1 of this year that it does not intend to comply with the Geneva Convention when treating Russian prisoners of war," the general said.
In addition, the Ukrainian authorities are urging Western countries to encourage the International Committee of the Red Cross to abandon attempts to gain access to Russian prisoners of war.
"Such manipulations around Russian servicemen convincingly demonstrate that the authorities of many Western states are becoming accomplices in the inhuman crimes of Ukrainian neo-Nazis," Mizintsev said.
