The Russian Embassy in Moldova called the statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Integration of the Republic indiscriminate and hasty. The ministry stressed that the authenticity of the video and the nationality of people in camouflage uniforms have not been established.
The head of the HRC, Valery Fadeev, will send a video of the murder to international organizations. The materials are already being studied by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. The Russian Ministry of Defense stated that the brutal murder of prisoners of war is a common practice in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
