“Imitation of surrender and opening fire on the military of the Armed Forces of Ukraine — proceedings have begun on the fact of perfidy of the Russian military,” the agency said in a statement.

It is noted that the case was initiated under the article "Violation of the laws and customs of war."

Earlier, a video of the massacre of the Armed Forces of Ukraine over captured Russian soldiers appeared on the network.

After that, the Investigative Committee of Russia opened a criminal case.

The Russian side demanded that international organizations condemn the crime of the Ukrainian military and conduct a thorough investigation into the incident.

The New York Times analyzed the video of the execution of Russian prisoners of war in Makiivka and concluded that the APU soldiers may be guilty of a war crime.
