There are so many captives that the government has set up a special headquarters, Zelenskyy reports
The Cabinet of Ministers established a Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated this in a video message, Rubryka reports.
"The number of captured occupiers has already reached such a level that this issue cannot be left to the structures we had before the war. Therefore, today the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has established a Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War.
Thousands of enemy soldiers who have been captured or surrendered receive from our state the treatment required by international conventions. But there are so many of them that we need a special structure that will deal with all related issues," the president said.
To recap, as of the 16th day of the war, up to 700 Russians were already in captivity.
