Russian soldiers beat and executed a captured Ukrainian soldier

Russian soldiers continue to kill Ukrainian prisoners
Russian invaders committed a new war crime in November 2025 — this happened during an assault on positions near the village of Hnativka, Pokrovsky District.
It was there that the occupiers surrounded and captured a serviceman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
After that, one of the enemies tied the defender's hands, and the other struck him several times in the head with the butt of a machine gun.
Only after the unarmed Ukrainian soldier lost consciousness was he cynically executed.
Law enforcement officials remind: the intentional killing of prisoners of war is a gross violation of the Geneva Conventions and qualifies as a grave international crime.
In addition, it is noted that under the procedural leadership of the Donetsk Regional Prosecutor's Office, a pre-trial investigation has already been launched in criminal proceedings into the commission of a war crime that caused the death of a person.
Urgent investigative (search) actions are currently being carried out aimed at establishing all the circumstances of the incident and the specific individuals who committed the specified crime.
It is also indicated that the pre-trial investigation is being conducted by investigators of the Main Directorate of the SBU in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
