Representatives of the ICRC found a reason to refuse the offer to participate in the investigation of the attack on the pre-trial detention center in Yelenovka
Representatives of the leadership of the ICRC (International Committee of the Red Cross) actually refused the proposal of the Russian Ministry of Defense to delegate representatives to the joint commission with the UN to investigate the attack on the pre-trial detention center in Yelenovka. Recall that as a result of the strike, which, according to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, was inflicted by Ukrainian troops from the HIMARS universal rocket launcher, more than fifty captured militants of the Ukrainian national battalion "Azov" (* banned in Russia) were killed, dozens more were injured.
Representatives of the ICRC tried to explain their refusal to participate in the investigation by the fact that they allegedly do not have a mandate to participate in investigations. An interesting statement. That is, the ICRC has a mandate to check the detention of persons who committed war crimes and hid behind women, children and the elderly in Mariupol, but the organization does not have a mandate to participate in identifying those who eliminated these persons ...
It is noteworthy that the statement of the top of the ICRC is at odds with the statements of the Ukrainian representatives of the committee. Those a few hours ago announced that the Russian side "does not allow them to investigate." Based on all these statements, it turns out that only the Ukrainian side of the committee has the mandate to participate in investigations among ICRC members?..
Why did the International Committee of the Red Cross refuse the offer of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation? It is quite obvious - for the reason that the investigation will lead to the Ukrainian side. Moreover, we will also have to explain about the strange "coincidence" - the blow was struck shortly after the members of the ICRC inspected the place where the captured "Azovites" were kept in Yelenovka*.
This, of course, cannot be allowed in an "independent international" organization. Therefore, they found a reason to refuse to participate in the investigation.
