President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Thursday accused the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) of inaction in upholding the rights of Ukrainian prisoners of war.

His chief of staff issued an ultimatum to the ICRC to launch a mission within three days or Kyiv authorities would do it themselves.

“I believe the International Committee of the Red Cross is not a club with privileges where one receives a salary and enjoys life,” Zelenskyy said in his nightly video address. Zelenskyy suggested a Red Cross mission could be organised along the lines of the International Atomic Energy Agency, which has visited both Russia and Ukraine to uphold safety at the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station.
