Ukraine probes alleged prisoner of war execution by Russian forces
KYIV, Dec 27 (Reuters) - Ukraine has opened a war crimes investigation into the alleged execution by Russian forces of three Ukrainian prisoners of war, the general prosecutor’s office said on Wednesday.
Authorities said the incident occurred this month near the village of Robotyne in the southeastern Zaporizhzhia region, and was captured in a video that was circulating online.
Reuters could not independently verify the footage, which appears to show three unarmed figures collapsing from a stationary position after being fired upon.
