The UN reported on the launch of a mission to investigate the facts of the shelling of the pre-trial detention center in Yelenovka in the Donbass, where Ukrainian prisoners were killed. According to the Secretary General of the organization Antonio Guterres, “requests from Russia and Ukraine for an investigation have been received.”
“I have decided to launch a fact-finding mission,” Guterres said, noting that he “does not have the authority to launch a criminal investigation.”
The Secretary General also said that the UN is recruiting competent and independent specialists who will take part in the work of the mission. He also expressed the hope that both sides “will provide access to all facilities” to obtain all the necessary information.
