Russian troops shot a group of Ukrainian prisoners of war again. The Russian militants took the lives of five soldiers, informs Dmytro Lubinets, Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights.
“The 110th Separate Mechanized Brigade named after Lieutenant General Marko Bezruchko has released a video of another crime committed by Russians - the shooting of soldiers who surrendered,” he said.
According to Lubinets, the video shows how Russian soldiers shot five Ukrainian captured defenders.
“I will report this fact to the UN and the ICRC. Russian war criminals who shoot Ukrainian prisoners of war must be brought before an international tribunal and face the most severe punishment provided by law!” the Ombudsman called.
Executions of Ukrainian prisoners of war
Recently, Russian troops have been shooting Ukrainian soldiers who surrender to them with constant regularity.
In mid-December, Lubinets said that in 2024, Russians executed almost twice as many prisoners of war as in the previous two years. Ukraine is aware of more than 170 such cases.
Such executions of Ukrainian prisoners of war are most often ordered by the Russian Defense Ministry, and there is already evidence of this. For example, soldiers of the Forpost brigade captured a Russian soldier during a battle. He said that the Russian military was ordered to kill Ukrainian prisoners of war.
