The Russian Ministry of Defense accused Ukraine of executing more than 10 Russian POWs by shooting them in the head.
The defense ministry has responded to a video circulating on Russian social media that it says shows the execution of Russian POWs. Reuters could not confirm the claim.
The defense ministry said the video showed “more than 10 immobilized Russian soldiers being deliberately and methodically killed by corrupt Ukrainian soldiers with direct shots to the head.”
The defense ministry said the video was a sign of the “savage nature” of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his “regime” in Kiev and said he will “give account to the people of Russia and Ukraine before the court of history”.
There was no immediate response from Kiev to Moscow’s claims. Ukraine has previously said that its service personnel were tortured while in Russian captivity. Moscow denies these allegations.
As a result of Turkey’s mediation and diplomatic traffic with country leaders, the two countries exchanged hundreds of prisoners.
