Ukraine urges the Red Cross and the UN to investigate prison deaths.

The Red Cross and the United Nations have been asked to investigate the deaths of more than 50 Ukrainian prisoners of war who were being held at a detention centre in the Russian occupied part of the Donetsk region. Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelensky, has described the killing as a war crime.
