The pre-trial investigation into the violation of the laws and customs of war combined with premeditated murder (Part 2 Article 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) was initiated under the procedural supervision of the Kherson Regional Prosecutor's Office.

On April 7, 2024, a video recording was published on one of the Telegram channels showing the Russian military shooting three  captured Ukrainian servicemen

- the prosecutor's office said.

The video shows a representative of the russian armed forces firing several shots at the unarmed, stationary soldiers, possibly with an assault rifle.

The description under the video states that the incident took place near Krynky of the Oleshky community in Kherson region.

Once again, representatives of the aggressor country demonstratively ignore the provisions of the Geneva Convention on the Treatment of Prisoners of War, which indicates that the highest command of the russian armed forces supports such actions
