Human rights activists were “shocked” by the brutal footage and called such actions by the Russian occupiers war crimes.
Torture of prisoners of war and their summary execution are war crimes. This was announced on Friday, July 29, by the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine.

In this way, human rights activists reacted to the video with the military of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who were brutally tortured by Russian mercenaries, and noted that they were “surprised” by these shots.
“Such actions qualify as war crimes,” the Mission insisted.
The UN calls on both Russia and Ukraine “to avoid torture, killings and commitments not to spare combatants who have surrendered (people who are part of the armed forces of a belligerent state and have the right to take part in hostilities – ed.)”.
“Parties must promptly and effectively investigate all possible cases of torture and unlawful killings. War criminals must be prosecuted and their cases heard by competent courts,” the organization said.
Recall that after the appearance of the video of the bullying of the Ukrainian military occupiers, the Office of the President of Ukraine called Russia a country of cannibals and promised compensation to all those guilty of atrocities.
