A video allegedly showing the brutal execution of Ukrainian prisoners of war in the Kursk sector is circulating on social media. According to one of the Ukrainian soldiers, the victims are servicemen of the 82nd Separate Air Assault Brigade. The footage shows a Russian occupier deliberately shooting an unarmed Ukrainian prisoner of war in the head.
Ukraine’s Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets condemned the incident as further evidence of the inhuman cruelty of the Russian army and a gross violation of the Geneva Convention.
“As the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights, I have already appealed to the UN and the International Committee of the Red Cross. Russia must face immediate consequences for its war crimes,” Lubinets stated.
He also urged anyone with information about the crime to contact the Ombudsman of Ukraine’s hotline: 0800 50 17 20.
“Every crime will be investigated. Every perpetrator will be punished,” Lubinets concluded.
