Ukrainian prosecutors are investigating a case of Russian troops summarily executing six Ukrainian captives in the embattled Donetsk Oblast, the Prosecutor General\u2019s Office said on Jan. 23.<\/p>\n

The statement came in reaction to a video circulating on social media, recorded by Russian soldiers, that apparently shows the execution of the six prisoners of war (POW). Footage also shows a seventh Ukrainian soldier lying on the ground, whose fate is unknown.<\/p>\n

“According to preliminary information, during an assault against Ukrainian positions in Donetsk Oblast, Russian soldiers took six Ukrainian soldiers captives and subsequently shot them,” the Prosecutor General\u2019s Office<\/a> said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Executing prisoners of war is a serious violation of the Geneva Conventions and a war crime.<\/p>\n

Ukraine\u2019s Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets<\/a> said he had reached out to the U.N. and the International Committee of the Red Cross regarding the case.<\/p>\n

Throughout the full-scale war, Ukraine has documented<\/a> widespread violations of the Geneva Conventions<\/a> by Russian forces, including the execution<\/a> of over 100 POWs in 2024 alone, according to Lubinets<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Reports of torture, murder, and abuse of Ukrainian captives \u2014 particularly in Donetsk Oblast<\/a> \u2014 have surged in recent months.<\/p>\n

Visual evidence<\/a> of these atrocities continues to emerge, underscoring Russia’s disregard for international law.<\/p>\n
