Ukraine's top prosecutor said on Monday that a criminal investigation had been launched into what he called the"brutal and brazen shooting of an unarmed person" depicted in a video shared on social media, and accused Russia of ignoring the laws of war.
Reuters was not immediately able to verify the authenticity, date or location of the video, which is of poor quality. Russia's Defence Ministry did not immediately respond to a query about the video. Ukrainian authorities did not say where or when the shooting occurred. He added,"I want us all in unity to respond to his words, 'Glory to the hero. Glory to the heroes. Glory to Ukraine.' And we will find the murderers."
"The murder of a captive is the latest Russian war crime," Yermak wrote in a tweet."For every such war crime there will be retribution."
