According to the Ombudsman, the incident occurred near the village of Neskuchne, Volnovakha district, Donetsk region. According to preliminary data, the Russian occupiers shot three Ukrainian prisoners of war. They tied their hands and shot them in the back of the head.

Lubinets reminded that according to the Geneva Conventions, prisoners of war are under special protection, and no country has the right to torture, abuse or take their lives. Nevertheless, Russia demonstrates disregard for international norms.

“I, as the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights, once again immediately appeal to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the United Nations. These organizations must condemn this crime and put pressure on the Russian side to stop such acts,” Lubinets wrote.
