International Committee of the Red Cross

The bodies of 58 more Ukrainian soldiers killed in the war with russia were returned to Ukraine thanks to the cooperation of the Ukrainian authorities and the International Red Cross.

Ukraine does not recognize the illegal sentences handed down to Ukrainian prisoners of war in Russia and is working to protect their rights and return them from captivity.

Ukrainian Parliamentary Commissioner for Human Rights Dmytro Lubinets sent official letters to the UN and ICRC to document violations of international humanitarian law after more than 30 Ukrainian prisoners of war were sentenced to 27-29 years in prison by a so-called "court" in occupied Donetsk.

kremlin spokesman Dmytro Peskov said that Ukraine did not ask Russia to return the bodies of prisoners who allegedly died during the plane crash IL-76 near Belgorod.

The Ukrainian Parliamentary Commissioner for Human Rights said that the International Committee of the Red Cross is not helping Ukraine in the investigation of the crash of the Il-76 plane and did not confirm whether russia provided information about the transportation of prisoners of war by the plane.

Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly will visit Moldova and Poland from January 29 to February 1 to discuss further support for Ukraine. She plans to meet with high-ranking officials from both countries to discuss regional security issues and opportunities for further cooperation against threats from Russia and Belarus.
