According to a UN report released last month, there have been 129 verified executions of Ukrainian prisoners of war by Russian forces since 2022. This alarming statistic highlights the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the region.
The UN has previously warned of a marked increase in cases involving the execution of POWs, emphasizing the need for urgent international intervention and accountability.
Kyiv has called on the global community to take action and address these violations, stressing the importance of protecting human rights in conflict zones.
