Russian troops kill three Ukrainian POWs in Donetsk region

The DeepState monitoring group reported the information.

On January 3, Russian troops stormed the positions of Ukraine's 141st Separate Infantry Brigade. Then the Ukrainian military surrendered, after which they were tied up, taken in front of the position, and shot in the back of the head.

"If the brigade is interested in finding the criminals, we hope they will provide the video to law enforcement agencies," DeepState added.

The Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights, Dmytro Lubinets, has already responded to another war crime committed by the invading Russian forces. He stated that he immediately appealed to the International Committee of the Red Cross and the United Nations to condemn this crime and put pressure on the Russian side to stop such acts.

"Ukraine remains committed to upholding humanitarian law even in times of war, but we will not allow Russia to turn the world into a territory of lawlessness. The perpetrators must be punished!" emphasized Lubinets.

• On December 22, Russian soldiers shot dead 4 more Ukrainian soldiers who surrendered. The Prosecutor General’s Office launched a pre-trial investigation. Ombudsman Lubinets said he would appeal to the UN and the International Committee of the Red Cross.
