The Russian occupying authorities claim that one Ukrainian prisoner of war was killed, and four others were wounded during the shelling, which they falsely blamed on Ukraine.
Ukraine has not yet officially commented on this situation, and neither the Association of Azovstal Defenders' Families or the press service of the Azov battalion have likewise spoken about this alleged incident at time of publication.
According to Ukrainian intelligence, on July 29, explosions were recorded in Olenivka’s industrial zone, in a recently constructed building that was intended to be specially designated for holding Ukrainian soldiers who had surrendered at Azovstal. Some of the captured defenders of Ukraine were transferred there just two days prior.
Ukraine’s General Staff accused Russia of attacking its own prison camp in order to claim that Ukraine was committing war crimes. The General Staff said that the Russians were attempting to cover up their torture and execution of Ukrainian prisoners at the site on the orders of the occupation administration by blaming Ukraine for their murder, instead.

A delegation of the Association of Azovstal Defenders’ Families and the Azov Regiment have met with the representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in Washington.
On behalf of the ICRC, the delegation was met by Patrick Hamilton, Head of ICRC Regional Delegation to the United States and Canada. In the course of the meeting, the parties discussed the urgent issues related to the situation with the defenders of Mariupol, who are now the prisoners of war, and the ICRC’s actions in this regard.
The Ukrainian delegation raised the issue of the possibility of sending the ICRC mission to the places where the Ukrainian POWs are kept, delivering humanitarian convoys (including warm clothing). The delegation members also talked about the lack of proper care for pregnant prisoners, progress in the investigation into the Olenivka terrorist attack and the return of the bodies of those who had been killed in that attack, etc.
Hamilton and other representatives of the ICRC promised to continue efforts to get access to the Azovstal heroes and fulfill their obligations under international conventions. In addition, Hamilton assured the Ukrainian side he would help to establish communication between the families of the Mariupol defenders and the ICRC office in Kyiv.
