Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights Dmytro Lubinets said that the strong Ukrainian army and international pressure influence the decision of the Russian Federation to return prisoners of war.
He stated this during a briefing, reports UNN.
What can affect the Russian Federation? In my opinion, the main tool for the return of prisoners of war is a strong Ukrainian army
According to him, when the Armed Forces of Ukraine take Russian soldiers prisoner, it provides Ukraine with additional opportunities for negotiating the return of our prisoners of war.
And the second is international pressure. If we were not skeptical about international activity, I still remain in the position that international partners, raising the issue of violating the rights of the Russian Federation to the Geneva Convention and Human Rights, additionally influence Russians
Recall
Russia and Ukraine exchanged the bodies of military personnel. the bodies of 52 victims were returned to Russia and 502 to Ukraine.
