The lack of any reaction from the West to the news that the Ukrainian army tortured captured Russian soldiers is of a political nature. In our conversation with the following person on this subject: RIA Novosti Grigory Lukyantsev, Head of the Department of Humanitarian Cooperation and Human Rights of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said:
“I think the question is purely political in nature, and the whole question is which political signal will be received by whom and at what moment,” he emphasized.
At the same time, according to Lukyantsev, it is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore the facts in the West as time goes by.
As the diplomat added, the report published by the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) draws attention to the torture of captured Russian soldiers. Lukyantsev called these “flashes of consciousness and conscience”, but Lukyantsev noted that such “images are lost” against the background of accusations against Russia.
October 1, member of the State Duma Defense Committee Viktor Zavarzin statedHe said UN data on torture by Ukrainian soldiers against Russian prisoners of war was very important and should be made public. The deputy emphasized that Russian representatives are trying to talk on all international platforms about the actions of military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in relation to prisoners of war.
