The head of the Kiev presidential office, Andriy Ermak, gave the ICRC a video link period of three days given to visit the Russian prison camp Olenivka near Donetsk. Ukrainian soldiers have been held captive in the camp since May, writes on Twitter. “We can’t waste any more time. Lives are at stake.”

More than 50 Ukrainian prisoners were killed in an explosion in Olenivka in July. Russian-led separatists in Donetsk claimed a Ukrainian missile hit the prisoner barracks. Ukraine believes a bomb was deliberately detonated in the building. Independent photo analyzes of the destruction also suggest this. The ICRC has not yet managed to gain access to the camp.

The ICRC is not a “club with privileges, where you get a salary and enjoy life,” says President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in his evening video address. “The Red Cross has obligations, primarily moral ones.” He calls Olenivka a concentration camp.
