A video is actively circulating on social media showing what appears to be Russian troops executing a Ukrainian POW. The footage shows a person tied to a motorcycle and dragged along a road.
This was reported by Ukrainian Parliament’s Commissioner for Human Rights Dmytro Lubinets.
This incident is a demonstration of extreme brutality and a gross violation of international humanitarian law and the Geneva Conventions. The Commissioner has already sent official letters to the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross.
«Russia is acting as a terrorist state. And it must be held accountable for every crime, ” the ombudsman emphasized.
