UN human rights monitors have documented dozens of summary killings of Ukrainian and Russian prisoners of war, as well as other possible war crimes such as the use of torture, human shields and other abuses against POWs since Russia invaded its neighbour, according to a report.
The first full look by the UN human rights office’s mission in Ukraine at the treatment of POWs was released on Friday along with an update of human rights violations overall from a six-month period that ran through January.
