Ukraine’s foreign minister on Monday called for an investigation by the International Criminal Court following a video emerged showing Russian soldiers executing a Ukrainian prisoner of war.
Dmytro Kuleba said on Twitter: “A horrific video clip of the execution of an unarmed Ukrainian prisoner of war by Russian forces just for saying ‘Glory to Ukraine’. Further proof that this war aims for genocide.”
“It is imperative that (International Criminal Court Prosecutor) Karim Khan launch an immediate investigation into this heinous war crime,” he added.
“The perpetrators of these acts must be brought to justice,” he added.
Dmytro Kuleba refers to a video clip circulating on social media, Monday, showing a soldier standing in a trench smoking a cigarette before being shot with an automatic weapon following he chanted: “Glory to Ukraine.”
