Execution of prisoners in the Pokrovsky direction: what is known
Recall, on Tuesday, 1 October, information appeared in Telegram channels that the occupiers probably shot 16 Ukrainian servicemen.
The footage shows how, under enemy control, the captured Ukrainian Armed Forces servicemen left from the forest plantation. After they lined up, the occupiers deliberately opened fire on them to kill. The wounded who showed signs of life were finished off point-blank with a burst of machine gun fire.
For violation of the laws and customs of war, combined with premeditated murder (Part 2 of Article 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) , the prosecutor's office has launched an investigation.
