The work of the commission would make it possible to return seriously wounded and seriously ill soldiers home.
Russia has not yet created a mixed medical commission to oversee the health of prisoners of war.
This was reported by the Head of the Secretariat of the Coordinating Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War Bogdan Okhrimenko.< /p>
According to him, in the summer of 2023 created a mixed medical commission Ukraine.
“This is a body that includes two doctors from a neutral country and representatives of the country that holds prisoners of war. The task of mixed medical commissions is to inspect the health of prisoners and send seriously ill and seriously wounded to the care of a third country or repatriate them to their country of origin,” Okhrimenko said.
The head of the secretariat noted that the work of commissions on both sides could significantly intensify prisoner exchanges, and would also allow for the quicker return of seriously wounded and seriously ill prisoners.
Okhrimenko appealed to the international community to take all possible measures to stop these violations and ensure proper medical care for all prisoners of war.
