Quote from Lubinets: “Another war crime, the Russians executed an unarmed Ukrainian prisoner of war with his hands tied with tape. The level of barbarism and bloodthirstiness is incomprehensible.”

Details: Dmytro Lubinets stressed that such actions are a gross violation of the Geneva Convention relative to the treatment of prisoners of war.

Lubinets said that he had sent letters to international organisations, the International Committee of the Red Cross and the UN, to record another human rights violation by Russia.

A photo of an executed Ukrainian soldier was posted on social media on the morning of 17 September. The soldier was stabbed to death with a sword with the inscription ‘For Kursk’ on it. Grey adhesive tape is visible on the soldier’s hand, which means that his hands were probably tied before the execution.

The photo shows a bloody body lying on the road against the backdrop of damaged machinery and a house with smashed windows. It is unknown where exactly this happened.
