Ukraine’s Prosecutor General reported the murders as another Russian war crime, saying: “This is the largest case of execution of Ukrainian POWs on the front line.”

In an unprecedented war crime, 16 Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs) were executed by Russian forces to whom they were surrendering in the Pokrovsk district of eastern Ukraine.

The atrocity came to light through a video released on Telegram on Oct. 1.
