The Russian occupiers are ready to hand over the bodies of prisoners of war defenders of Mariupol who were killed in Yelenovka. The invaders said they would do it "after the investigation is over."

This was announced by the Commissioner for Human Rights, Dmytro Lubinets , on the air of the telethon.

"I can report that we received a signal that they (the Russians - ed.) are ready to return the bodies of our heroes, but the wording is that after the end of the investigation. We have not yet received an answer to clarify how much time is needed for the investigation. But we are waiting," the ombudsman said.

He added that they refused to provide him with information about what is happening with specific Azov residents. We are ready to give this information only to relatives of prisoners of war.

"As an ombudsman, I can only get general information about the dead and wounded," Lubinets clarified.

The ombudsman emphasized that in recent days, the relatives of the captured "Azovians" have been calling the hotline of the International Committee of the Red Cross around the clock , and that during informal communication ICRC representatives assure that they are "doing everything to provide the relatives with information."

Lubinets also refused to say whether he knew about the whereabouts of the commander of the "Azovians" Denys Prokopenko and the commander of the 36th separate marine brigade of the Navy of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Serhii Volynskyi (Volyn), in order "not to interfere with the exchange."

We will remind, on July 29, a powerful explosion took place on the territory of the former correctional colony No. 120 in the city of Olenivka, which is currently used as a place of detention of Ukrainian prisoners of war .

As a result of the explosion, the premises where the captured Ukrainians were located was destroyed. According to Russian sources, about 40 Ukrainians were killed , the number of wounded - to be specified.

It is noted that the explosions took place on the territory of the industrial zone in a newly built building, which was supposed to be specially equipped to hold prisoners taken out of Azovstal. The equipment of the building was completed 2 days ago, after which some of the detained Ukrainian defenders were transferred to it.

"We emphasize that the explosions in Olenivka, which led to the death of Ukrainian defenders, are a deliberate provocation and an undeniable act of terrorism on the part of the armed forces of the occupier," the Ministry of Defense said.

According to the available information, it was carried out by the hands of mercenaries from the "Wagner" (League) PMC under the personal command of the nominal owner of the specified PMC - Yevhen Prigozhin. The organization and implementation of the terrorist attack were not coordinated with the leadership of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.
