[RIA Novosti] Moscow is demanding that international organizations condemn the shooting of Russian prisoners of war and conduct a thorough investigation, said Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova. Her words are given on the website of the department.
"We demand from international organizations to condemn this egregious crime, to conduct a thorough investigation of it," the message said.
According to the diplomat, Western countries did not pay attention to evidence of cruel and inhumane crimes by the Ukrainian side against Russian soldiers.
“Such approval from American and European curators makes them complicit in what the Ukrainian neo-Nazis they cherish are doing,” she said.
Russia, in turn, has repeatedly pointed out this problem to the world community. The Armed Forces of Ukraine regularly distribute videos showing their murders and torture, Zakharova added.
"We are talking not only about the fighters of Azov * and other radical organizations, but about the military personnel of the armed forces of Ukraine, carrying out the official orders of their commanders. Their adherence to neo-Nazi ideology and the implementation of its principles in practice convincingly prove the criminal essence of the regime existing in Ukraine ," she explained foreign policy representative.
She stressed that all the perpetrators and those involved will be identified, "no one will escape retribution."
Earlier on Friday, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that the Ukrainian military deliberately killed ten captured Russian servicemen. They noted that this is not the first and not a single war crime, but a common practice in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
A video showing Ukrainian militants shooting dead Russian soldiers lying on the ground, who have surrendered, appeared on the Internet today. According to Valery Fadeev , Chairman of the Presidential Council for the Development of Civil Society and Human Rights , this happened in Makeyevka.
The head of the HRC called this incident a demonstrative defiant crime and said that he would demand an international investigation. The HRC sent the video to the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, the OSCE , the Council of Europe, Amnesty International, the International Committee of the Red Cross and other organizations.
