"In connection with the appearance in the Internet of a media file with the beheading of an allegedly "Ukrainian" soldier against our state, hasty and indiscriminate accusations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Integration of the Republic of Moldova followed," RIA Novosti quoted the Russian embassy as saying.

The ministry stressed that the authenticity of the video and the nationality of people in camouflage uniforms have not been established.

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

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.

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 of the incident.
