Ukraine Accuses Russia of Mass Executions of POWs

Ukraine accuses Russia of mass executions of prisoners of war in the Donetsk region. Ukrainian prosecutors allege that Russian soldiers executed two Ukrainian soldiers after capturing them, with one being executed while naked. Kyiv authorities claim these actions constitute war crimes and violations of the Geneva Convention. Several similar cases have been recorded in the past, with Ukraine continuing to insist on its accusations of inhumane treatment of prisoners of war by the Russian army. The situation further exacerbates the already tense relations between the two countries.
