UKRAINE Video showing a likely war crime committed by the Russian side during the war in Ukraine has begun circulating on social media. Russian soldiers brutally executed their Ukrainian prisoner of war. With a bag pulled over his head, he was dragged into an abandoned building, where he was strangled with a rope.
The Geneva Conventions explicitly stipulate that prisoners of war must always be treated humanely and protected from violence. The deliberate execution of a prisoner of war is prohibited, regardless of which side of the conflict they belong to. However, the final assessment of a specific case depends on the verification of the evidence and the circumstances of the incident.
