There is no difference between Russian diplomats calling for the execution of Ukrainian prisoners of war and Russian troops doing so in the Olenivka colony, they are all accomplices to war crimes, Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Oleg Nikolenko said.

"Read this when they tell you that Russia should not be isolated. There is no difference between Russian diplomats calling for the execution of Ukrainian POWs and Russian troops doing it in Olenivka. They are all complicit in these war crimes and should be held accountable," the speaker wrote on his Twitter.

Earlier, the Russian embassy in Great Britain posted on Twitter that "Azov fighters deserve to be executed, but not by shooting, but by hanging, because they are not real soldiers. They deserve a humiliating death".
