We strongly condemn the recent attack on a penal facility holding prisoners of war (POWs) in Olenivka.
Too many lives have been lost and families torn apart in the armed conflict in #Ukraine.
We immediately requested access to Olenivka and POWs, offering our assistance. ⬇️

To be clear, our request to access the POWs from Olenivka penal facility yesterday has not been granted.
Granting ICRC access to POWs is an obligation of parties to conflict under the Geneva Conventions.
