Russian troops carried out a covert infiltration into the combat formations of Ukraine's Defense Forces near Svyato-Pokrovske village in the Siversk direction.
A video appeared on Russian information channels showing Russian military personnel at one of the Ukrainian positions in the area.
The footage shows a Ukrainian soldier raising his hands and demonstrating his willingness to surrender, meaning he was no longer participating in hostilities. Despite this, the occupiers continued to keep him at gunpoint and probably opened fire.
The wounded soldier tried to take cover, but the Russian soldier finished him off with a shot from an assault rifle.
A pre-trial investigation has been launched into Part 2 of Article 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, a war crime that resulted in the death of a person.
