Russian forces executed five prisoners of war during a single incident in eastern Ukraine last month, the Attorney General’s Office announced today. Authorities said in a statement that Russian soldiers executed five unarmed Ukrainian soldiers after capturing them during an attack on their positions on October 2 near the eastern city of Vukhlendar. The announcement was accompanied by two aerial photographs of the incident, which Reuters was unable to independently confirm. Prosecutors have launched war crimes investigations. One of 13 such investigations launched in the past two months into the alleged killing of 54 Ukrainian prisoners of war, senior prosecutor Taras Shemkiv said on Ukrainian television today. Russia did not immediately comment on the incident, but has previously denied committing war crimes. Source: RES
