The British Foreign Office will be called to investigate the deaths of Azov residents of Yeleovka

British Ambassador to Ukraine Melinda Simmons said that the massacre of Ukrainian prisoners of war in Yelenovka should not be left without an international investigation. This is stated in the Twitter of the British diplomat.

Yelenovka needs to be investigated. This appears to be part of an increasingly disturbing pattern of the worst types of human rights violations and possible war crimes being committed with impunity in occupied eastern Ukraine, she wrote.

Recall that on July 29, Russian media reported on the shelling of a colony in Yelenovka, Donetsk region, where Ukrainian prisoners were kept. The propagandists claimed that there were at least 53 dead.

Subsequently, President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Russia should be recognized as a terrorist country.
