Dmytro Lubinets says he sent letters to the United Nations and the International Red Cross regarding alleged killings.
Ukraine’s human rights ombudsman has urged international organisations to respond to an allegation that several Ukrainian prisoners of war were executed in Russia’s Kursk region.
DeepState, a Ukrainian battlefield analysis site close to Ukraine’s Defence Ministry, said that Russian troops killed nine Ukrainian “drone operators and contractors” on October 10 after they had surrendered.
Dmytro Lubinets said on Sunday that the international community “must not turn a blind eye” to the alleged executions.
The ombudsman wrote on Telegram that he had sent letters to the United Nations and the International Red Cross about the incident, referring to it as “another crime committed by the Russians”.
Ukrainian Prosecutor-General Andriy Kostin also said his office had opened a criminal investigation into the alleged execution and said killing prisoners of war was a “gross violation” of the Geneva Convention.
