Lubinec condemns suspected brutal killing of Ukrainian prisoner and labels Russia’s actions a war crime
Disturbing reports and graphic footage circulate daily from the frontlines and social media, revealing what appears to be a cruel killing of a Ukrainian prisoner by Russian forces. According to Ukraine’s Human Rights Commissioner, Dmytro Lubinec, a video shows a person tied to a motorcycle and dragged along the road—a blatant display of brutality and a violation of international humanitarian laws. Lubinec emphasized that such acts constitute grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions and International Humanitarian Law, characterizing them as yet another war crime committed by Russia. He further announced that official letters have been sent to the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross, demanding accountability for the perpetrators. Lubinec stated that Russia behaves like a terrorist state, and every such crime must be subject to justice and international condemnation, as these actions severely undermine humanitarian principles and global security.
