Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visits injured Ukrainian servicemen in a hospital

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visits injured Ukrainian servicemen in a hospital, as Russia's attack on Ukraine continues, in Odesa, Ukraine July 29, 2022. 






Russia and Ukraine have accused each other of shelling a prison in eastern Ukraine, killing dozens of Ukrainian prisoners of war, including some who were captured after the fall of Mariupol in May. 

Neither claim could be independently verified. 

Russia said Ukraine’s military used multiple rocket launchers to strike the prison in Olenivka, a settlement controlled by the Moscow-backed Donetsk People’s Republic. Separatist authorities and Russian officials said the attack killed 53 Ukrainian POWs and wounded 75. 

The Ukrainian military denied making any rocket or artillery strikes in Olenivka and said it only aims for Russian military targets. It accused the Russians of shelling the prison to cover up the alleged torture and execution of Ukrainians there. 

The Russian claims are part of an “information war to accuse the Ukrainian armed forces of shelling civilian infrastructure and the population to cover up their own treacherous action,” Ukraine’s military said. 

A Russian Defense Ministry spokesperson described the strike as a “bloody provocation” aimed at discouraging Ukrainian soldiers from surrendering.
