Russian prisoners of war (POWs) held in Ukrainian camps are no longer allowed to make phone calls to their relatives, #Ukraine's Ombudsman Dmytro #Lubinets announced on national television on Sept. 7.

Lubinets said that the ban does not violate the# Geneva Conventions, as Russian POWs can still send written letters to their families.

The Kyiv Independent · Russian POWs no longer allowed to call relatives, ombudsman saysBy Daria Shulzhenko

#Ukraine said #Russia has initiated negotiations on the exchange of prisoners captured by #Kyiv’s forces as it presses on with its risky operation in the #Kursk region.

Dmytro #Lubinets, the Ukraine parliament’s human rights commissioner, told local media on Wednesday evening that his Russian counterpart had reached out to him to open discussions on the exchange of prisoners of war.

#Ukraine's human rights commissioner urged the International Committee of the Red Cross (#ICRC) and the #UN to investigate an image widely shared online on Saturday that he said likely showed a Ukrainian prisoner-of-war killed and dismembered by Russian forces.

"A photograph, probably of a Ukrainian prisoner whose head and limbs were cut off by the Russians, has appeared online," Dmytro #Lubinets, the country's leading human rights official, said.

#Lubinets underscored that the killing of prisoners of war constitutes a blatant violation of the #Geneva Convention on the Treatment of Prisoners of War and constitutes a serious international crime.

Regrettably, such incidents are not isolated but rather a systematic practice of a deceitful adversary. #Lubinets emphasized the need for these cases to serve as evidence for a criminal tribunal.
