Ukrainian intelligence intercepted a conversation between Russian military commanders. In the conversation, the commander ordered the Russian soldiers to kill Ukrainian prisoners of war, according to the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine.

In a radio interception, commanders of the Russian army order their subordinates to commit a war crime, executing a prisoner.

This is further documented evidence of the Russian army's deliberate genocidal policy in the war against Ukraine.

Additionally, the interception confirms the serious injury of a Russian soldier with the call sign Groza. Specifically, another soldier with the call sign Grif, who was in the same group as Groza, was ordered to apply a tourniquet, administer painkillers, take up a position, and continue firing.

Executions of Ukrainian prisoners of war

Recently, Ukrainian law enforcement agencies have reported several cases of executions of Ukrainian soldiers taken prisoner by Russian forces. On November 5, the Office of the Prosecutor General announced the execution of six Ukrainian prisoners of war in the Pokrovsk direction.

However, the most massive execution is the killing of 16 Ukrainian defenders by Russian soldiers in the Pokrovsk direction.
