According to the Internet-based information, Russian troops shot at least two unarmed Ukrainian prisoners of war at close range in the Kursk region. In this regard, the Commissioner for Human Rights Dmytro Lubinets appealed to the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross.
Lubinets reported this via his Telegram channel on Monday, November 11.
Execution of prisoners of war
"Prisoners of war must always be protected, in particular from acts of violence, but Russia has once again committed a war crime, which is a serious violation of the Geneva Conventions and international humanitarian law," Lubinets said.
He added that he had sent letters to the UN and the ICRC regarding this crime.
According to the Commissioner for Human Rights, the international community must immediately respond to this act of cruelty in order to stop Russia's aggression.
"How many more lives must be lost for the world to take action? Russia must be held accountable for every crime and every broken life," Lubinets said.
Previously, we reported that Russian invaders once again shot a Ukrainian soldier and released a video. Law enforcement officers have started an investigation into the soldier's execution.
In addition, law enforcement officers are currently investigating 49 criminal cases involving the killing of prisoners of war by Russians.
