Vladimir Putin's forces have executed a Ukrainian prisoner of war (PoW) with a medieval-style sword, it has been alleged.
A view of destruction caused by shelling in the border region of Belgorod, in Russia Vladimir Putin’s forces have executed a Ukrainian prisoner of war with a sword, it has been alleged. A photograph shared on Telegram apparently shows the medieval-style murder of a soldier by Russia. His body was found laying in a pool of blood with a sword rupturing his chest and the inscription ‘For Kursk’, suggesting he was killed as revenge for the Ukrainian counterattack into Russia’s border region.
‘Footage of an alleged execution, with a sword, of an unarmed Ukrainian soldier with taped hands is spreading on the web. Preliminarily, the crime was committed in Novohrodivka, Donetsk region,’ prosecutor general Andriy Kostin said on X. A blurred image posted alongside his post and his office’s statement showed the bloodied body in military fatigues.
