Russian military executes two captured Ukrainian soldiers in Kursk region

Dmytro Lubinets, the Verkhovna Rada’s human rights commissioner, wrote this on Telegram, citing reports that had surfaced on social media, Ukrinform reports.

“Prisoners of war must always be protected, especially from acts of violence, but Russia has once again committed a war crime in serious violation of the Geneva Convention and international humanitarian law,” the ombudsman said.

Lubinets sent letters about this crime to the UN and the International Committee of the Red Cross.

He stressed that the international community must immediately respond to this act of cruelty to stop Russia’s aggression.

“How many more lives must be lost for the world to act? “Russia must be held accountable for every crime and every life destroyed,” Lubinets emphasized.

As Ukrinform previously reported, police officers identified three Ukrainian defenders who were shot dead by Russian troops on November 1 near the village of Vyshneve in the Donetsk region.
