Russia, Ukraine Trade Blame For Deadly Attack On POW Prison

Separatist authorities in the Donetsk region of Ukraine said the attack killed at least 53 Ukrainian prisoners of war.

Russia and Ukraine accused each other Friday of shelling a prison in a separatist region of eastern Ukraine, an attack that reportedly killed dozens of Ukrainian prisoners of war captured after the fall of Mariupol, the city where troops famously held out against a monthslong Russian siege.

Both sides said the assault was premeditated with the aim of covering up atrocities.
