“Today, as an official document of the Security Council and the General Assembly, we circulated a letter addressed to the UN Secretary General with information about new evidence of Ukraine’s cruel treatment of Russian prisoners of war and an appeal to António Guterres to stop Kyiv’s violations of international humanitarian law,” the diplomat noted in his Telegram.
According to him, the Russian side will continue to focus on these and other crimes of the Kyiv regime during the meetings of the Security Council and the UN General Assembly.
Gennady Gatilov, Russian permanent representative to the UN Geneva branch, called the execution of prisoners of war by Ukrainian soldiers a war crime.
The Russian Ministry of Defense stated that the brutal killing of prisoners of war is a common practice in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The Investigative Committee of Russia opened a criminal case.
