Russia returns bodies of dead soldiers with missing internal organs to Ukraine. This is proof that they are used in Russia for transplants.
This is what families of prisoners of war told in Ankara with the Ambassador of Ukraine to Turkey Vasyl Bodnar, reported ukrinform.ua.
„It is already known for sure... we receive the bodies of tortured people from captivity (in body swaps). We don't just get tortured bodies, we get bodies that are unfortunately organless. That is, this confirms the fact that the black market of organ transplants in the Russian Federation is working. And, unfortunately, he works with our prisoners of war”, said the wife of a Ukrainian prisoner of war who fought in Mariupol.
The woman appealed to the President of Turkey, Recep Erdogan, with a request to support the creation of a medical commission that would allow monitoring 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 POW's wife.
Since the start of the full-scale invasion, Ukraine has collected evidence of 135,000 war crimes committed by the Russian military. Their actual number is much higher. A serious problem is the attitude of the occupiers towards the prisoners of war taken to the occupied lands or to Russia. Many of them are tortured and beaten, others are killed.
