The Commissioner of the Verkhovna Rada for Human Rights Dmytro Lubinets has appealed to the UN and the International Committee of the Red Cross in connection with a new case of execution by Russian soldiers of captured defenders of Ukraine. He reported this on Telegram, Ukrinform reports.
The Ombudsman noted that a video recording of the alleged execution of Ukrainian prisoners of war on the specified section of the front is currently being circulated on social networks.
„According to one of the Ukrainian fighters, these are soldiers from the 82nd brigade. The footage shows the Russian occupier deliberately shooting a Ukrainian prisoner of war in the head,“ Lubinets noted.
He stressed that the execution of Ukrainian prisoners of war is yet another proof of the inhuman cruelty of the Russian invaders.
The aforementioned video, as the VR commissioner emphasized, shows the deliberate killing of defenseless people who were captured.
Lyubinets emphasized that such actions by the Russian military are a gross violation of the Geneva Convention and all norms of international humanitarian law.
Earlier this week, the Russians released a video of the alleged execution of another group of Ukrainian prisoners of war.
