Details
Horrific video from The Associated Press. Russian occupiers execute four Ukrainian prisoners of war after they surrendered. Such executions have become systematic, but each of them is striking in its brutality
Tykhyi emphasized that such acts not only demonstrate the atrocities of the Russian troops, but also indicate the lack of basic discipline in the Russian army.
This is a war crime and it must be investigated, including by the International Criminal Court. All those responsible must be held accountable
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also expressed gratitude to The Associated Press for covering this topic, emphasizing the importance of journalistic work that shows how the Russian military is trying to fabricate videos to hide their crimes.
