| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Korrespondent] The enemy shot unarmed Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers in the Pokrovsky direction. The intentional killing of prisoners of war is a gross violation of the Geneva Conventions and is classified as a grave international crime. The Prosecutor's Office has launched an investigation into the shooting of six captured Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers by Russians in the Pokrovsk direction. This was reported by the press service of the Prosecutor General's Office on Tuesday, November 5. Currently, pre-trial investigations have begun into the fact of war crimes that resulted in the death of prisoners of war (Part 2 of Article 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). It is reported that on October 23, 2024, during the offensive on Selidovo, Russian troops captured three Ukrainian fighters. After some time, the occupiers shot the unarmed prisoners of war. Later on November 1, during the assault on Ukrainian Armed Forces fortifications in the same Pokrovsk direction, three more Ukrainian prisoners of war were killed by Russian army representatives using automatic weapons. "These actions are a violation of the Geneva Conventions and qualify as an international crime," the statement emphasized. Let us recall that law enforcement officers have information about the execution of 102 Ukrainian prisoners of war on the battlefield by Russian soldiers. Earlier in the Kursk region, Ukrainian fighters destroyed an assault group from a Russian brigade involved in the execution of Ukrainian prisoners. |
