UK ambassador calls for investigation of Olenivka attack

The ambassador wrote about this on Twitter.

"Olenivka needs investigating. It looks like part of an increasingly worrying pattern of the worst kind of human rights abuses, and possibly war crimes, being committed in the occupied East of Ukraine with impunity", she wrote. 

Earlier, the General Staff of Ukraine denied the accusations of the Russian Federation that the attack was launched by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. According to the General Staff, the Russians tried to hide the torture and murder of prisoners.

Intelligence agencies believe that the killing of Ukrainian prisoners in Olenivka, Donetsk region, was organized by the Wagner mercenaries on the personal instructions of Yevgeny Prigozhin, without coordinating it with the leadership of the Russian Ministry of Defense.
