Russia is attempting to create a fake image for the international community of supposedly comfortable conditions for Ukrainian prisoners of war.

Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights Dmytro Lubinets said this during a press conference at Ukrinform.

"According to our information, Russia is trying to create a fake image of supposedly comfortable conditions for Ukrainian prisoners of war. It wants to show the world an image suggesting that Russian captivity is almost like a sanatorium where Ukrainian prisoners of war and civilian hostages rest, receive treatment, and recover," Lubinets said.

He emphasized that since 2022, representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross have not been allowed access to any facility holding Ukrainian prisoners of war on Russian territory.
