Ukraine opens third camp for Russian prisoners of war

Today, 29 May, the third camp for prisoners of war "Centre-3" was opened. This is reported on the page of the project "I want to live!".

It is noted that the need for a new camp is due to the large number of Russians who surrendered as prisoners of war, as well as the reluctance of the Russian Federation to conduct prisoner exchanges.

It is likely that this is not the last such camp for Russian prisoners of war that has started work this year," the report said.

In Ukraine, Russian prisoners of war are held in accordance with the requirements of the Geneva Convention. They are not in colonies, but in special camps and special sites at pre-trial detention centres. The prisoners can also communicate with their relatives, receive parcels and money transfers, engage in sports and leisure activities. And also the International Red Cross is allowed to visit them, which the Russian side does not do, despite the fact that it is a signatory of the Geneva Conventions.

The project also showed what the new camp for Russian prisoners of war looks like.
