Russian forces prepare show trials, public punishment, for Ukrainian defenders in Mariupol - city council

Mariupol City Council shared the information.

Invading Russian forces are planning to hold a show trial of the Ukrainian defenders in September.

"The Russian occupiers continue to disregard all international norms. They continue to commit war crimes, showing contempt for the entire civilized world. I appeal to the world community, the UN and the Red Cross to intervene in the situation so that the rules for the treatment of prisoners of war work. We must do everything so that our defenders return to Ukraine alive, and to prevent a second Olenivka in Mariupol", Vadym Boychenko said.
