Russian Forces Execute Ukrainian POW with 'For Kursk' Sword in Novogrodivka
Sep 17, 2024, 06:56 AM
Russian forces have reportedly executed an unarmed Ukrainian prisoner of war with a sword in the Donetsk region, specifically in Novogrodivka near Pokrovsk. The incident, confirmed by Ukraine’s Human Rights Commissioner Dmytro Lubinets, shows the prisoner’s hands bound with tape and a sword inscribed with 'For Kursk' thrust into his chest. This act constitutes a clear violation of the Geneva Convention on the treatment of prisoners of war. Ukrainian officials have appealed to international bodies such as the United Nations and the Red Cross for intervention.
