MFA refutes another Russian fake about Ukraine's 'refusal' to comply with Geneva Convention

Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Oleg Nikolenko issued a respective statement published on Facebook, Ukrinform reports.

He stated that Russian intelligence continues to spread disinformation. In this context, Nikolenko recalled that Russia had previously created fakes about thousands of Ukrainians allegedly seeking asylum in Russia, inhumane treatment of Russian prisoners of war, and Azovstal "workers" willing to join the ranks of invading Russian forces.

"The allegations of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service about the Geneva Convention are another such fake. It aims to discredit relations between Ukraine and international humanitarian organizations that are rescuing victims of Russian aggression and trying to bring deportees and prisoners home," he said.

Nikolenko noted that despite hundreds of Russian fakes, Ukraine remains committed to its international obligations under international law, unlike "the indifferent attitude of the Russian Federation to its servicemen who came to Ukrainian soil: both alive and dead."

According to Russian media, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service said on April 1 that Ukraine had allegedly informed the United Kingdom that it did not intend to comply with the Geneva Convention relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War.
