Killing of Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers: Russian propagandists create fakes – InformResistance.

Russian propaganda tries to deny the shooting of captured Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers in the Kursk region and uses false versions to distract attention from the obvious war crimes. This was reported by the National Resistance portal.

Russian propagandists seem to have received instructions on how to cover this war crime involving the killing of captured Ukrainian drone operators in the Kursk region.

This is a fake created by the Ukrainian authorities allegedly to make the Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers afraid to surrender.

There is a sharp increase in the number of Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers considering surrender to Russian captivity. They want to intimidate them with constant horror stories about the alleged shooting of Ukrainian prisoners by Russian soldiers.

This story was actively commented on Z-channels. Some supported the killing of prisoners, others explained it by the realities of war. Only a few channels condemned the killing of prisoners and recognized it as a war crime.

According to the Geneva Convention on the treatment of prisoners of war, which Russia has also signed, prisoners must be provided with life and humane conditions of detention. Killing or ill-treatment of prisoners of war is a war crime. But the Russians constantly violate all rules. The Russian command approves the losses of Ukrainian prisoners.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha stated that the international community should respond harshly to the killings of Ukrainian military by Russians, as such actions are a serious violation of international law.

Recently, there have been more cases of killing Ukrainian prisoners of war. This may be due to the fact that the command of the Russian troops either encourages or orders such actions. This is reported by analysts at the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) in the USA.

An investigation into the incident of the possible killing of a Ukrainian serviceman by representatives of the Russian army has been launched. This is reported by the Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine.
