MOSCOW (Sputnik) - On Wednesday, the OHCHR revealed its latest report, saying that Russian prisoners of war have been tortured in Ukraine between December 2023 and February 2024.
The latest report by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) on torture of Russian prisoners of war in Ukraine cannot be called a serious study or an adequate reflection of reality, the data is incomplete, Russian Foreign Ministry special envoy Rodion Miroshnik told Sputnik.

"This cannot be called a serious study and an absolutely adequate reflection of reality. We face many facts that are now inaccessible, including to structures such as the OHCHR, because they are quite highly politicized, and I would not treat them as the ultimate authority," Miroshnik said.
