Russian forces executed five Ukrainian POWs in Blahodatne area

On December 22, 2024, the Telegram channel disseminated information that four AFU servicemen had come under shelling in the Vremivsk direction in the Volnovakha district.

The occupiers took them prisoner, left two defenders lying on the ground, and took two more to the road. After that, the military army of the aggressor state, in flagrant violation of the Geneva Conventions, cynically shot four captured defenders with automatic weapons.

The video shows how Russian soldiers shot five captured Ukrainian defenders.

Russian troops had shot four encircled Ukrainian soldiers dead. Another two were killed by shelling earlier.

One person (male, born 1999) was killed in Udachne due to Russian airstrikes; no casualties were reported in Pokrovsk despite damage.
