Quote from Maliuska: "We have set up a special camp for prisoners of war in the west of Ukraine, where there are those prisoners of war for whom there are no immediate expectations for exchange."
Details: Prisoners of war who have recently been taken prisoner or who may be exchanged in the near future are divided among the institutions of the Ministry of Justice throughout the country, he said.
As for the conditions of detention of Russian prisoners of war, they meet the norms of the Geneva Convention, the minister assured.
"This level is a little better than keeping a prisoner or a convict: a little better nutrition, a little better hygiene, full access to the Red Cross," he said.
