Russian troops have executed three captured Ukrainian troopers in Donetsk Oblast.

Supply: Donetsk Oblast Prosecutor's Workplace

Particulars: Investigators have decided that three Ukrainian Armed Forces servicemen had been performing fight missions at a place close to the village of Novopil within the Velyka Novosilka hromada of the Volnovakha district on 3 Might. Russian troops surrounded the Ukrainian defenders throughout an assault, forcing them to put down their arms and give up. [A hromada is an administrative unit designating a village, several villages, or a town, and their adjacent territories – ed.]

Upon realising that the Ukrainians couldn’t resist, Russian troops executed them with computerized weapons.

Quote: "The intentional killing of prisoners of warfare is a gross violation of the Geneva Conventions and qualifies as a critical worldwide crime.

Pressing investigative and search operations are at the moment underway to determine all of the circumstances of the incident."
