Considering the mass murder of at least 53 Ukrainian prisoners of war, defenders of Mariupol, which happened on the night of July 29, 2022 in Olenivka;

Taking into account the attempts of the Russian Federation to accuse Ukraine just after killing of Ukrainian war prisoners in the Olenivka prison by `firing` at them with a GMLRS missile from a HIMARS MLRS, which proved to be completely untruthful and failed to convince the world;

Taking into account that the available satellite images of the scene of the tragedy and the conclusions of experts indicate the use of thermobaric ammunition inside the prison building;

Taking into consideration the fact that, according to the available evidence, the killing of the defenders of Mariupol in Olenivka proves to have all the signs of a terrorist act committed by the Russian Federation against defenseless Ukrainian prisoners of war;

Considering that this war crime committed by Russia is a violation of the Geneva Conventions for the Treatment of Prisoners of War;

Taking into account that the actions of the Russian Federation in Ukraine are an unprovoked military aggression against a sovereign state, resulting in the death of thousands of civilians as a result of shelling and missile strikes on civilian infrastructure, which is a manifestation of terror;

Considering the need to defend against military actions and new terrorist attacks of the Russian Federation against Ukraine;
