Earlier, a video surfaced on social media showing what appear to be Kiev’s troops and executed Russian servicemen
The Russian Defense Ministry has accused Ukrainian forces of committing a war crime after a video that surfaced on social media on Friday appears to show captured Russian servicemen having been killed.
The footage depicts soldiers dressed in Russian uniforms first surrender to troops in uniforms bearing Ukrainian insignia before being shown lying on the ground, presumably dead.
The ministry described the video as evidence of “a deliberate and methodical murder” of over ten Russian servicemen at the hands of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, who “shot them straight in their heads.” Such actions prove the “barbaric nature” of the government in Kiev led by President Vladimir Zelensky, as well as “all those, who defend and support it,” the ministry said.
The Ukrainian soldiers who surrendered to Russian troops this week are being treated in accordance with all of the relevant Geneva conventions, the ministry insisted.
