Dmytro Lubinets, the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights, stated that Russia is destroying evidence of the Olenivka prison camp explosion and will only allow ICRC and UN access after eliminating traces of the alleged war crime.

Dmytro Lubinets believes Russia will hide traces of the war crime in Olenivka before allowing UN and ICRC representatives to enter.

Lubinets asserts that international military experts concluded the explosion at Olenivka was a pre-planned public execution of Ukrainian servicemen.

The ICRC has not been given access to the Olenivka penal colony, and Lubinets suggests this is because Russia needs time to remove evidence.

President Vladimir Putin ordered his troops to occupy the entire Donetsk Oblast by Sept. 15.

The ISW reports that occupying the entire Donetsk Oblast by Sept. 15 remains an unrealistic goal.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a decree creating new city military administrations in Donetsk Oblast.

Russia is removing evidence of the war crime in Olenivka and will only allow UN and ICRC access after doing so.

Analysis of photo and video materials by international military experts concluded the explosion at the Olenivka colony was a pre-planned public execution of Ukrainian servicemen, specifically from the Azov regiment.
