On February 17, a video of the alleged execution of Ukrainian prisoners of war by Russian soldiers went viral on social media. The date and place of the execution have not been specified. Ombudsman of Ukraine has already responded to new war crime.
Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights Dmytro Lubinets wrote about it on Telegram.
Russian military channels are publishing a video of the alleged execution of Ukrainian soldiers who were captured by the Russians. The video shows Russian soldiers being repeatedly ordered to shoot prisoners of war.
“This emphasizes that executions are a deliberate policy of Russia. Such actions violate international humanitarian law and the Geneva Convention relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War. As the Ombudsman of Ukraine, I immediately sent letters to the UN and the International Committee of the Red Cross,” Lubinets wrote.
The Ombudsman emphasized that these organizations should “put pressure on the Russian side so that Russia feels the consequences of such actions and does not commit them in the future.”
