Ukraine on Thursday accused Russian forces of carrying out 5 captured Ukrainian servicemen, the latest war criminal activity accusation since the full-blown intrusion more than three years ago.Human rights ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets said on social networks that Russian forces continue to kill Ukrainian prisoners of war, though he did not specify where the declared executions occurred.
Another video of the supposed execution of unarmed Ukrainian soldiers captured by Russians is flowing on social networks, he wrote on Telegram.
The video shows at least five apparently killed detainees of war.
As soon as again, we see a cynical neglect for international humanitarian law on the part of the Russian army, he added.Unverified images examined by AFP revealed 5 individuals in military tiredness some with apparent gunshot injuries to the head lying on muddied ground.Lubinets said he had actually alerted the UN and the International Committee of the Red Cross, urging them to investigate the alleged executions.Last month, the UN cautioned of an disconcerting rise in the execution of recorded Ukrainian soldiers, saying it had recorded dozens of such killings in current months.Russia has not yet reacted to Kyivs most current allegation.
