Shelling of a prison in separatist-controlled east holding Ukrainian servicemen was a 'deliberate Russian war crime', says President Zelenskyy, as fighting enters its 157th day Follow our live coverage:👇
Moscow and Kiev accuse each other of bombing a jail holding Ukrainian prisoners in Russian-held territory, with Ukrainian President Zelensky calling attack"a war crime" as fighting enters its 157th day.
Russia alleges strikes were carried out by Ukraine with US-supplied long-range missiles, but Kiev blames Moscow for blasting the prison. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said the deaths of dozens of prisoners in a Russian-held jail showed there should be clear legal recognition that Russia was a "state sponsor of terrorism."
"Today, I received information about the attack by the occupiers on Olenivka , in the Donetsk region. It is a deliberate Russian war crime, a deliberate mass murder of Ukrainian prisoners of war. More than 50 dead," he said in his daily address. "I am appealing especially to the United States of America. A decision is needed and it is needed now."
