"We are shocked by the horrific footage obtained by CNN showing Russians killing Ukrainian soldiers who surrender in cold blood. This war crime is part of Russia's ongoing gross violations of international humanitarian law. Russian barbarism is a disgrace to humanity. We call on all states and international organizations to strongly condemn Russia's systematic killing and torture of Ukrainian prisoners of war. It is necessary to consolidate all efforts to implement the provisions of President Zelensky's Peace Formula, which require the return of all illegally detained persons," emphasized Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Heorhiy Tykhyi.
