UN Report and Survivors Indicate Russian Responsibility for Olenivka POW Deaths

Two years after the explosion that killed over 50 Ukrainian prisoners of war, evidence points to Russian planning and execution.

Survivors and investigators describe suspicious Russian actions before the explosion at Olenivka prison.
An internal UN analysis concludes that Russia planned and executed the attack, though it was never publicly stated.
Over 50 Ukrainian POWs died, with around 120 still missing and believed to be detained in Russia.
The UN's investigation was hindered by lack of access, while a separate Human Rights Monitoring Mission gathered evidence independently.
Ukrainian and international efforts to seek justice face significant challenges, with no active international investigations ongoing.
