"The UN Human Rights Mission has confirmed an increase in the number of executions of Ukrainian prisoners of war by Russia. At least 79 cases have been reported since the end of August 2024. This may represent one of the largest campaigns of deliberate killings of prisoners of war in modern history. These atrocities demand urgent international action," he stated.
A Ukrainian diplomat described the executions of Ukrainian prisoners of war as "horrific."
"The horrific executions of Ukrainian prisoners of war by Russia demonstrate that Ukraine is facing true beasts. The world must not only condemn this but also take urgent action. We need new and effective international legal tools and concrete steps to hold the perpetrators accountable," Sibiga believes.
