Ukraines foreign minister on Monday urged the International Criminal Court to penetrate video flowing on social media that he stated showed Russian forces eliminating a Ukrainian detainee of war.
Horrific video of an unarmed Ukrainian POW performed by Russian forces merely for stating Glory to Ukraine.
Another (piece of) evidence this war is genocidal, Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba wrote on social media.Kuleba said it was imperative that International Criminal Court Prosecutor Karim Khan launches an instant ICC investigation into this heinous war crime.
Perpetrators need to deal with justice, he added.He was describing what appears to be amateur video footage of a detained combatant standing in a shallow trench, wearing camouflage and smoking cigarettes a cigarette, being shot to death with automated weapons after saying splendor to Ukraine.
AFP could not individually verify where or when the video was filmed or whether it showed-- as some Ukrainian authorities and social media users recommended-- a Ukrainian prisoner of war being shot.The phrase spoken by the alleged detained Ukrainian soldier was trending on social media and senior authorities in Kyiv blamed Russian forces and required justice.
Today, a video appeared of the occupiers brutally killing a soldier, who fearlessly said to their faces: Glory to Ukraine!, Ukraines President Volodymyr Zelensky said in his evening address.
Moscow and Kyiv have on a number of events implicated the other side of eliminating prisoners in the year because Russia attacked Ukraine.The Wagner mercenary group leading Russias assault on Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine is mainly comprised of Russian guys recruited from jails throughout the nation.
