As reported, the ICRC representatives made a two-day visit to Ukrainian prisoners of war last week, another visit is expected this week.

In parallel with the visits to the Ukrainian prisoners of war, the ICRC representatives also visited the Russian ones. The next visits are scheduled for the end of the month.

Representatives of the organization contact the families of POWs and convey messages from them. Books, personal hygiene products, blankets, and warm clothes were also brought to the prisoners of war.
