Russia accuses Ukraine of war crimes over footage purported to show killings of Russian soldiers
Russia’s ministry of defence has issued a strongly worded statement after the emergence of video footage it claims shows Ukrainian military personnel deliberately killing more than 10 captured Russian servicemen. The state-owned Russian RIA Novosti news agency carries the following quotes from the statement:
The intentional and methodical killing of more than 10 immobilized Russian servicemen by the UAF degenerates with direct shots in the head cannot be presented as a “tragic exception” against the background of the alleged general observance of the rights of prisoners of war by the Kyiv regime.
The published new video evidence of the mass massacre of Ukrainian soldiers over unarmed Russian prisoners of war confirms the savage essence of the current Kyiv regime led by Zelenskiy and those who protect and support it.
The Russian ministry of defence has vowed that Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy will eventually stand trial for war crimes. In a statement about a video that has emerged which appears to show Russian soldiers being shot by Ukrainian forces, the ministry says:
New videographic evidence of massive execution inflicted by Ukrainian servicemen on the unarmed Russian prisoners of war confirms the atrocious nature of the current Kyiv regime led by Zelenskiy and those who protect and support him.
Meanwhile, the Ukrainian servicemen, who surrendered this week, are held in accordance with all the requirements of the Geneva Convention relative to the treatment of prisoners of war.
The brutal murder of the Russian servicemen is neither the first, nor the single war crime. This is a common practice in the armed forces of Ukraine that is actively supported by the Kyiv regime and straightforwardly ignored by its western patrons.
But Zelenskiy and his henchmen will be forced to stand trial of the court of history, peoples of Russia and Ukraine, for everyone, and for each tortured and murdered prisoner.
