The Ukrainian armed forces executed more than 10 Russian prisoners of war, shooting them in the head at point blank, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Friday, noting that this was a crime that can't be presented as a "tragic exception".

"The intentional and methodical killing of more than ten immobilized Russian servicemen by the UAF degenerates with shots in the head at point blank cannot be presented as a 'tragic exception'," the ministry said.

According to Moscow, the crime was committed against the backdrop of the constant violation of the rights of the prisoners of war at the hands of their Ukrainian imprisoners.

The newly published video of the mass massacre of Russian POWs, the defense ministry said, "confirms the savage essence of the savage essence of the current Kiev regime led by Zelensky and those who protect and support it."

This happened sometime in 2022/11.

Russia underlined that the Ukrainian armed forces habitually brutally kill Russian prisoners of war, which is outright ignored by the West, the Russian Defense Ministry said.

The ministry stressed that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and his "henchmen" would have to answer before the court of history and the people of Russia for each and every tortured and killed Russian prisoner of war, the ministry added.

This is not the first violation toward Moscow this week, as a representative of the emergency services of the Kherson region said Thursday that Ukraine's forces were carrying out punitive measures in public as a demonstrative means of punishment against residents of Kherson for their support of Russia.

According to the Kherson official, the punitive measures, which included execution, are being carried out by the Ukrainian security forces under the leadership of western advisers. The main targets are pro-Russian activists who were unable to withdraw back with the Russian forces to the left bank of the Dnieper River.

This comes after Russia's Defense Ministry announced last week the complete withdrawal of Russian troops and equipment from the right bank of the Dnieper River, Kherson, as Moscow noted that there will be a need to build defenses on the left bank. Soon after, Ukrainian forces entered Kherson.

Commander of the Joint Russian Forces in Ukraine Sergey Surovikin reported last Wednesday to Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu that it was necessary to withdraw the troops from the right bank of the Dnieper River, including the city of Kherson, and organize a defense on its left bank, and the proposal was accepted by the minister.

Kherson, along with 3 neighboring regions of DPR, LPR, and Zaporozhye, voted to join the Russian Federation in September. The vote was later approved by Moscow following legal and political procedures and finalized on October 5.

According to the Kherson emergency services official, some 39 pro-Russian activists were executed in Moscow's former stronghold.

Following the accession of the regions into Russia, Russian President Vladimir Putin promised to protect Russia's new territories, by all means, saying Moscow would rebuild all the leveled cities and towns and back the industrial sector, develop enterprises, upgrade the infrastructure, and introduce healthcare systems.

This led to an escalation from the Ukrainian side against the pro-Russian peoples of the region, which included increased shelling and bombing and various intimidation campaigns.

Conditions of Ukraine POWs fit Geneva Convention

While Kiev's forces torture and murder their Russian counterparts, the Russian defense ministry revealed that the Ukrainian soldiers that surrendered earlier in the week were being held in accordance with all the requirements of the Geneva Convention on Prisoners of War.

The ministry stressed that, "unlike the militants of the Kiev regime," Russia complies with the provisions of the Geneva Convention on Prisoners of War.

"At the same time, the Ukrainian servicemen who surrendered this week, are being held in accordance with all the requirements of the Geneva Convention on Prisoners of War," the ministry underlined.
