“Another war crime – the Russians executed with a sword an unarmed Ukrainian prisoner of war with his hands bound with tape. The level of barbarism and bloodthirstiness is unfathomable. Such actions are a gross violation of the Geneva Convention on the Treatment of Prisoners of War! How much longer will the world watch as Russia openly shows contempt for any norms and laws?” – he wrote in a telegram.
The ombudsman said that he sent letters to international organizations, the ICRC and the UN, so that they record another violation of human rights by Russia.
Separately, Lubinets emphasized that such show executions are aimed at demoralizing Ukrainian society.
