Russian servicemen have committed another war crime in the Pokrovsk sector.

This was reported by the Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine.

It is reported that Russian war criminals shot six Ukrainian prisoners of war.

In particular, on November 1, during an assault on the Ukrainian Armed Forces fortifications in the same Pokrovsk sector, three prisoners of war were killed by the Russians using automatic weapons.
