Video of the execution of Ukrainian soldiers who surrendered by the occupiers is circulating online: the Ombudsman reacts

Execution of those who surrender is a war crime. is a war crime. This is how the Ombudsman of Ukraine Dmytro Lubinets reacted to the video of the execution of Ukrainian soldiers who surrendered by Russian soldiers, reports UNN.

... a video of the execution of Ukrainian soldiers by Russian Russian soldiers executed Ukrainian soldiers who surrendered! This is another violation of the Geneva Conventions and a manifestation of disrespect for international humanitarian humanitarian law! The Russian side is showing its terrorist face again and again! should not condone such crimes 

The Ombudsman of Ukraine has already addressed this issue to:

-          Firstly, the International Committee of the Red Cross Red Cross, whose mandate is to record crimes against against prisoners of war. And the video clearly shows that the Ukrainian military is taking the necessary steps to show that they are surrendering! The soldiers were disarmed, and their hands were raised in the air. They did not pose any threat! The Russian side should have taken them prisoner and given them the status of prisoners of war.

-          Second, to the United Nations. to the United Nations, so that the UN permanent monitoring mission could record this fact as another clear example of Russia's violation of international humanitarian law.

russia must be punished for every such a case of execution of Ukrainian soldiers who surrender! It should be noted that they are not alone - the murder of soldier Oleksandr Matsiyevsky and other soldiers who surrendered. This includes the public execution of prisoners of war in Olenivka. I believe that our law enforcement and intelligence agencies will be able to to identify those Russian servicemen who committed this crime! At the same time I note that such crimes are the responsibility of the top leadership of the Russian Federation! Everyone must be punished!
