After capturing the town of Avdiivka in eastern Ukraine, Russian soldiers, according to information from Kiev, probably shot seriously wounded Ukrainians who remained there – even though an agreement effectively forbids this.
The enemy agreed to evacuate the wounded, provide them with aid and later exchange them, the 110th Brigade, which was withdrawn from Avdiivka in the Donetsk region, said on Facebook on Monday.
However, at least five of those who remained were later identified as dead in videos posted by the Russian side. The whereabouts of one soldier are uncertain.
War crimes investigation
A day earlier, the Ukrainian Public Prosecution Service announced that it had opened an investigation into war crimes and murder following the shooting of six seriously injured Ukrainians by the Russian army.
This is what Avdiivka looks like today:
In another case near the town of Wessele, also in the Donetsk region, there was also a drone video showing two more Ukrainian soldiers being shot after being captured. The Russian army finally captured Avdiivka on Saturday after months of attempts.
Ukraine has been fending off a Russian invasion for almost two years. Since then, Kiev and international organizations have repeatedly accused the Russian side of war crimes.
