Car of Deputy Head of Olenivka Colony, Where Ukrainian Prisoners Were Tortured, Blown Up in Donetsk
In Russian-occupied Donetsk, the car of Dmitry Niyelov, the first deputy head of the Olenivka colony, whom Ukraine considers involved in the torture of Ukrainian prisoners of war, was blown up, reports 'Ukrainska Pravda'.
According to Ukrainian media, citing sources in law enforcement agencies, the explosion occurred on the night of August 29. It is preliminary reported that an explosive device was planted under the car. Niyelov's condition is currently unknown.
In 2023, Kyiv Independent journalists, in the documentary film 'Curators of Evil,' identified Niyelov as one of the people who might have been involved in the torture of Ukrainian prisoners of war in Olenivka.
In December 2024, in Donetsk, the car of the former head of the Olenivka colony, Serhiy Yevsyukov, was also blown up. He, apparently, died.
Ukrainian law enforcement officers in absentia informed Yevsyukov and Niyelov of suspicion of cruel treatment of prisoners of war, combined with intentional murder, committed by a group of persons by prior conspiracy. In July 2026, the European Union also imposed sanctions against them.
On July 29, 2022, the Russian side claimed that Ukrainian servicemen allegedly shelled the colony in Olenivka, where Ukrainian prisoners of war were held, with HIMARS rocket systems. However, a year later, the UN rejected this version. According to the organization's experts, even a single HIMARS missile would have caused significantly more serious destruction.
Ukrainian intelligence claimed that the explosion in the colony was organized by mercenaries of PMC 'Wagner' on the order of its leadership. According to UN data, 53 Ukrainian prisoners of war died as a result of the tragedy, and another 75 to 130 people were injured.
The Ukrainian prosecutor's office launched an investigation into this case. Later, the bodies of 62 fallen servicemen were handed over to Ukraine, among whom were also victims of the Olenivka tragedy.
