The Russian occupiers once again committed a war crime, cruelly killing a group of Ukrainian prisoners of war. Five Ukrainian defenders were shot. This tragedy once again confirms the enemy's proof of any moral principles and obligations according to international humanitarian norms.
"110 OMBR named after Corporal General Marka Bezruchka shared a video with another crime committed by the Russians – the shooting of soldiers who surrendered," he said.
According to Lubinets, the video shows how Russian soldiers shot five captured Ukrainian defenders.
"I will report this fact to the UN and ICRC. Russian war criminals who shoot Ukrainian prisoners of war must appear before an international tribunal and face the harshest punishment provided by law!" - urged the ombudsman.
Executions of Ukrainian prisoners of war
Recently, Russian troops regularly shoot Ukrainian soldiers who surrender to the occupiers.
In mid-December, Lubinets said that in 2024, the Russians executed almost twice as many prisoners of war as in the previous two years. Ukraine knows about more than 170 such cases.
Let us add that such execution of Ukrainian prisoners of war is most often an order of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and there is already evidence of this. So, the fighters of the "Forpost" brigade captured a Russian occupier during the battle. He said that Russian soldiers were ordered to kill Ukrainian prisoners of war.
