Three captured Ukrainian defenders who were shot online, were soldiers of the 82nd Separate Air Assault Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
This was reported by the Press Center of the 82nd Air Assault Brigade on Telegram.
It noted that this video became another proof of war crime of the Russian army. On it unidentified persons from among the occupants, acting intentionally, despite the laws and customs of war, being on the collision line in Zaporizhzhya region, deliberately killed people who were supposed to be protected in the conditions of armed conflict.
According to the paratroopers, three military men of the 82 separate airborne assault brigade were taken out of service and captured after receiving wounds and contusions of varying degrees of severity.
Thus, Russians violated Article 3 of the Geneva Convention on the Treatment of Prisoners of War of August 12, 1949, as well as other norms of international humanitarian law..
The criminal offense is included into the Unified Register of Pre-Trial Investigations, and the case materials will be transferred to the International Criminal Court, the AAB added.
