The Prosecutor General's Office reports.

According to the investigation, on November 22, 2024, the Russian military attacked a position of the Ukrainian Armed Forces located near the village of Petrivka, Pokrovsk district. 

During the Russian assault, four Ukrainian servicemen were forced to surrender. Immediately afterwards, the Russians opened fire on them with automatic weapons.

"The deliberate killing of prisoners of war is a gross violation of the Geneva Conventions and is classified as a serious international crime," the Prosecutor General's Office emphasized.

The Prosecutor General's Office has already launched an investigation into the violation of the laws and customs of war combined with premeditated murder. Investigative actions are currently underway to establish all the circumstances of the crime and the persons involved in its commission.

  • On November 26, the Russian army shot dead 5 Ukrainian prisoners of war in the Pokrovsk sector.
