UKRAINE Russians likely committed another war crime during the war in Ukraine. They executed their Ukrainian prisoner with a sword. He was found with the sword still stuck in him. It had the words “for Kursk” written on it in Cyrillic.
Executing prisoners of war is a serious violation of the Geneva Conventions. According to them, no soldier who is no longer able to fight may be killed or tortured. In the war in Ukraine, these rules are violated relatively often by both sides.
