The Russians have committed another war crime in Donetsk — they shot three Ukrainian prisoners of war. This was reported by Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets.
"Once again, we are witnessing atrocities that reveal the true face of the aggressor state. On January 3, near the settlement of Neskuchne in the Volnovakha district of Donetsk region, Russian occupiers committed a horrific crime — they likely executed three Ukrainian prisoners of war. According to DeepState, the Russians tied their hands and shot them in the back of the head.
Despite the fact that according to the Geneva Conventions, prisoners of war are under special protection, and no country has the right to torture, abuse, or take their lives, Russia demonstrates a disregard for international norms," Lubinets stated.
As the Commissioner of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine for Human Rights, I once again urgently appeal to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the United Nations. These organizations must condemn this crime and exert pressure on the Russian side to put an end to such acts.
Ukraine remains committed to adhering to humanitarian law even in times of war, but we will not allow Russia to turn the world into a lawless territory. Those responsible must be punished!
