Details

According to operational data, on January 3, 2024, during an assault on the positions of Ukrainian troops near the village of Vremivka, the Russian occupiers captured two Ukrainian soldiers. The prisoners were taken out of hiding at gunpoint and shot point-blank in the head. To ensure their death, the enemy made several additional shots.

Such actions are a violation of the Geneva Conventions, which prohibit the killing of prisoners of war, and qualify as a serious war crime.
