Remembering Olenivka: 50+ POWs killed in terrorist act
Ukraine marks the day of remembrance for defenders executed or killed while held in Russian captivity.
When Russian forces blew up the barracks in Olenivka, it wasn't a battle — they deliberately murdered captured defenders of Mariupol because they couldn't break them in combat.
Over 50 Ukrainian soldiers died instantly and another 130 were severely injured. Years later, dozens of survivors from that horrific blast are still stuck in Russian captivity while HUR and state bodies keep fighting to bring everyone home.
War crimes against unarmed prisoners of war have no statute of limitations.
