Ukrainian Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets reacted sharply to the information about the beheading of a Ukrainian soldier by the occupiers and called on partners to act decisively to ensure that Russia is punished, UNN reports.
"Barbaric cruelty of the Russian occupiers: Russians beheaded a Ukrainian soldier in Donetsk region. This fact was recorded by the Ukrainian military during aerial reconnaissance. It is known that the leaders of one of the Russian army units ordered to kill Ukrainian defenders with extreme sadism instead of taking them prisoner," noted Lubinets.
According to the Ombudsman, this is a deliberate and purposeful policy of the aggressor. Such atrocities are happening all the time - inhumane treatment of prisoners, executions for intimidation.
"This is not just a violation of the Geneva Convention relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War, it is an attempt to break the entire architecture of the world order. Russia is testing the world to see how far it will be allowed to go in its bloodthirstiness. I urge our partners to act decisively to ensure that Russia is punished!" - Lubinets summarized.
