Russian occupiers killed a wounded Ukrainian soldier

Footage of Russian soldiers shooting a wounded Ukrainian soldier at close range appeared online. They caught it on video.

Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets reacted to this terrible tragedy, noting that he appealed to the International Committee of the Red Cross and the UN.

The occupiers have no limit to cynicism and cruelty! The Russians shot an apparently wounded, unarmed Ukrainian soldier. They captured it on a video that is spreading online. Regarding this case, I am sending a letter to the ICRC and the UN. This is a violation of the Geneva Conventions, international humanitarian law, laws and customs of war.

If you do not respond to this, the crimes will be repeated. Unpunished evil always returns, Lubinets noted.

In the released footage, you can hear how, moments before the shooting, the Russians were asking the Ukrainian fighter where he was from and whether there was anyone else from the Defense Forces nearby. To this, the Ukrainian defender replied that he himself is from the Sumy region. At the same time, he assured that there was no one but him on this part of the front.

The Russians continue to execute Ukrainian prisoners of war

The press service of the OGP indicates that on October 23, 2024, during the offensive on Selidove, the Russian occupiers captured three Ukrainian fighters. After some time, they shot unarmed prisoners of war.

In addition, it is reported that already on November 1, during the assault on the fortifications of the Defense Forces of Ukraine in the same Pokrovsky direction, three more prisoners of war were killed by Russian soldiers with automatic weapons.

These actions of the Russian invaders are a violation of the Geneva Conventions and qualify as an international crime.
