America: We are investigating the issue of execution of Russian soldiers in Ukraine

According to IRNA from Reuters news agency, this American official told reporters in a telephone conversation on Tuesday that all parties should face the consequences in case of misbehavior in the conflict.

On Friday, the Russian Ministry of Defense released a video showing Ukrainian soldiers executing Russian prisoners of war.

The US representative on war crimes emphasized that the laws of war apply equally to the attacking country and the defending country, and all parties must adhere to international law or face consequences.

Yesterday, the American newspaper New York Times confirmed the authenticity of the pictures of the execution of more than 10 Russian prisoners of war by Ukrainian forces and wrote that it seems that these people were shot dead from close range.

The American newspaper reported that the events shown in the clips took place in mid-November in a village in Lugansk.

Russia has read these images as proof of the intentional killing of its soldiers by Ukraine. The United Nations has also demanded an investigation into these videos, and Kiev has said that it will conduct an investigation.

The First Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the United Nations said on Saturday that Moscow has sent a letter to Secretary General Antonio Guterres as an official document of the Security Council and the United Nations General Assembly about the new facts of Ukraine’s brutal treatment of Russian prisoners of war.
