russians return bodies of Ukrainian POWs without internal organs – relatives
russia returns the bodies of the Ukrainian prisoners of war [POWs] without internal organs. This suggests that POWs are used for organ transplants. This was discussed at a meeting in Ankara between representatives of the families of prisoners of war and the Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of Ukraine to Turkey Vasyl Bodnar, ukrinform.ua reported.
“Today, it is already known for certain that we receive the bodies of tortured people from captivity [during the exchange of bodies]. But we don’t just get tortured bodies, we get bodies that are, unfortunately, without organs. This confirms that the black market of organ transplants in the russian Federation is active and, unfortunately, involves our prisoners of war. Therefore, I believe this information must be shared with the entire world to stop this crime” said the wife of one of the defenders of the Mariupol.
The woman appealed to the President of Turkey with a request to support the creation of a medical commission, which will allow monitoring of the health of both Ukrainian and russian prisoners of war.
“And I would also like to ask Turkey to act as a patron country in solving all humanitarian issues related to the exchange of prisoners of war,” added the wife of the prisoner of war. She emphasized that russia refuses to return and list for exchange the prisoners of war of the Mariupol garrison.
“One of the main demands is to create an international medical commission that would investigate the condition of our prisoners of war and help them deal with health problems … And this is one of the messages that was conveyed to the Turkish side,” the ambassador of Ukraine said.
