Russians shoot a group of Ukrainian prisoners again

23 January 2025 12:07

The Russian occupiers have shot six Ukrainian prisoners of war, and the video of the crime was filmed by the invaders themselves. Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets has already informed the UN and the International Committee of the Red Cross.

The footage shows Ukrainian prisoners being shot one by one. The seventh soldier is lying on the ground, his fate is unknown. One of the Russian soldiers orders the prisoners to “lie down and shut up,” while another, filming the video, says: “One is mine” and shoots the Ukrainian.

Lubinets called on the international community not to ignore these crimes: “The lack of accountability has turned the crime into a system. We cannot turn a blind eye to this! Ukraine needs justice and accountability for those who commit crimes and do not comply with any norms!”

The Office of the Prosecutor General has launched an investigation into the criminal proceedings over the commission of a war crime that resulted in the death of people (Part 2 of Article 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).

“According to preliminary data, during an assault on the positions of Ukrainian troops in Donetsk region, the occupiers captured six servicemen of the Ukrainian Defense Forces and subsequently shot them dead. The shooting of prisoners of war is a serious violation of the Geneva Convention relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War and is classified as a grave international crime,” the prosecutor’s office said.
