Russians shoot captive Ukrainian soldiers on Pokrovsk axis

On the Pokrovsk axis of the Donetsk Region, russians shot captive Ukrainian defenders again. Law enforcement officers have launched a pre-trial investigation.

This is stated in a message of the Prosecutor General's Office.

"Under the procedural leadership of the Donetsk Regional Prosecutor's Office, a pre-trial investigation has been launched into the fact of committing a war crime that caused the death of people (Part 2 of Article 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine)," it says.

According to law enforcement officers, on November 10, during an assault on the fortifications of the Defense Forces near the village of Novodmytrivka, Pokrovsk District, the invaders captured two Ukrainian soldiers. After that, they forced the prisoners to undress and led them through a forest plantation at gunpoint, where they were shot.

Information about the killing of three more wounded Ukrainian defenders by the russians at this position is also currently being verified.

"Such actions are qualified as a grave international crime and a gross violation of the Geneva Conventions," the Prosecutor General's Office emphasized.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on November 10, russian terrorists shot a woman on the outskirts of Terny, Donetsk Region. Law enforcement officers have launched a pre-trial investigation into another war crime by the occupiers.

Earlier, the Donetsk Regional Prosecutor's Office launched a pre-trial investigation after a video of the execution of a Ukrainian prisoner spread on social networks.

Meanwhile, russia wants to try a military man for voluntarily surrendering to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
