KYIV - Relatives of Ukrainian fighters who remained for weeks under the besieged Azovstal steel works said on Monday they had received no news of the whereabouts of their loved ones since they were

evacuated to Russian-controlled areas of Ukraine.

"We were asked to stay silent in order not to make things worse," Ms Tetyana Horko, sister of marine commander Serhiy Horko, told a news conference."But one mustn't think that the story of Azovstal heroes is over. They need support, they need to be brought back home." "We very much expect Russia to treat them in accordance with the Geneva Convention, in accordance with the international law just like Ukraine treats the Russian POWs."

She said she saw little evidence of any activity by the ICRC, but added she would like its representatives to be present with the men"to make sure the Geneva Conventions are observed".
