Chilling evidence has emerged of the br*tal execut!on of two Ukrainian prisoners by Russian troops.
Graphic
drone footage appears to clearly show two surrendering Ukrainian PoWs being
k!lled in a hail of nine sh0ts fired by Putin soldiers near Robotyne in
Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia region.
The
apparent cold-blooded killings are believed to have happened last month, but
the footage just surfaced online this week.
Ukraine's
Zaporizhzhia Regional Prosecutor's Office has started a criminal investigation
into the flouting of the rules of war and premeditated murder by invading
Russian troops.
The
shootings are being probed by Ukraine's SBU security service.
The
Russian soldiers are believed to be from the 70th motorised rifle regiment,
which is already under investigation for previous heinous killings of PoWs.
'The
killing of prisoners of war is a gross violation of the Geneva Conventions and
qualifies as a grave international crime,' said a Ukraine report based on the
distressing footage.
Ukraine
has previously claimed that Russian forces are under orders from their
commanders to sl@ughter captured Russian troops.
Last
month the severed head of a surrendering Ukrainian PoW was placed on the bonnet
of a captured Kozak-2 armoured vehicle.
Andriy
Kostin, prosecutor-general of Ukraine, said at the time: 'This is dreadful
barbarism that has no place in the 21st century.
'This
is further confirmation that the aggressor's war crimes are not isolated
instances, but rather a part of the Russian regime's planned policy.
'These
criminal orders were issued by the occupation forces' battalion and company
commanders.
'We
will not let these crimes go unpunished.’
