File photoUN Oct 20 The UN is waiting for a «green light» from Russia in the context of providing security and access to visit Yelenovka in the DPR, Stéphane Dujarric, spokesman for the UN Secretary General, said at a briefing. In early October, Dujarric said that the UN cannot send a team to the scene to establish the facts of the shelling of the pre-trial detention center in Yelenovka until it receives security guarantees for its employees. Later, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Vershinin said that «naturally, the Russian side can guarantee security.» The diplomat stated that there are a lot of «far-fetched» arguments in the arguments of both the UN and the IWC. He suggested that «something is behind this — an unwillingness, apparently, to find out the truth.» he said, answering a question about the timing of sending a UN team to establish the facts of the shelling of a pre-trial detention center in Yelenovka in the Donbass. The Russian Defense Ministry reported that a Ukrainian strike from HIMARS on a detention center in Yelenovka at the end of July killed 50 and wounded 73 Ukrainian prisoners of war. Later, the head of the DPR, Denis Pushilin, said that the shelling of the pre-trial detention center in Yelenovka was deliberate and began due to the fact that the militants who were there, in particular from Azov (a terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation), began to testify. The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation stated that Russia is calling on UN and ICRC experts to investigate Yelenovka. in Ukraine
