Ukraine has urged the international criminal court to investigate footage circulating on social media that appeared to show Russian fighters killing a Ukrainian prisoner of war.
In the graphic clip that first circulated on Telegram, a detained combatant is seen standing in a shallow trench and smoking a cigarette. The soldier says “Glory to Ukraine” and is then apparently shot with automatic weapons.
🇺🇦 Murdered for being Ukrainian and not giving the Russians any information. His last words. "Glory to Ukraine" they shot him in cold blood. They murdered a prisoner of war.
Khamzat Galeav, the Hero. 🕯️
Remember his name.
Do not forget his defiance in the face of evil. 🇺🇦 pic.twitter.com/gVtJPRCSUc— Hiding in the cracks. 🇬🇧🇺🇦 (@moscow_english) March 6, 2023
