Ukraine's human rights ombudsman has raised concerns over the alleged execution of several Ukrainian prisoners of war in Russia's Kursk region. According to reports from a Ukrainian battlefield analysis site, Russian troops are said to have shot and killed nine Ukrainian 'drone operators and contractors' on October 10 after they had surrendered. The ombudsman has reached out to international organizations, including the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross, regarding the incident, labeling it as 'another crime committed by the Russians.'
Following these claims, the Ukrainian Prosecutor-General's Office has initiated a criminal investigation into the matter. This comes after previous reports of Russian troops killing 16 captured Ukrainian soldiers in the Donetsk region earlier this month.
