« It was a deliberate Russian war crime. »
Last Friday I wrote about the dueling claims of responsibility over an explosion at a prison where Ukrainian POWs were being held. Russia claimed the explosion, which killed at least 53 POWs, was the result of a Ukrainian strike with a US-made HIMARS missile. But Ukraine denied firing any artillery in the vicinity and blamed Russia for the explosion. Ukraine later released what they claimed was an intercept between two Russian soldiers which implied there was no missile strike at all at the prison. Instead one of the voices claimed it had been blown up intentionally by the Russians after herding POWs into a specific barracks inside the prison.
