Several news outlets in Ukraine have condemned the incident saying it shows how Vladimir Putin's forces "are simply not human".
A video has surfaced on various social media platforms that reportedly shows Russian soldiers executing three Ukrainian troops who were captured in the Zaporizhzhia region during the ongoing war. The video was first posted on Telegram on Wednesday and later appeared on social media, where it was shared by many journalists. The clip shows the three soldiers, kneeling with their hands behind their heads, being shot by their captives. As the video gained traction, Ukraine's Prosecutor General's Office launched an investigation.
After they shoot the "Prisoners of War (POWs)", smoke is seen emerging from the weapon purportedly held by Russian soldiers before the men collapse to the ground.
