North Korean soldiers fighting on the side of Russia in the Kursk region executed Ukrainian soldiers who tried to surrender.. This is a direct violation of international humanitarian law.

The Wall Street Journal reports this. According to information received by the Korean branch of the Human Rights Foundation, Ukrainian intelligence services analyzed documents seized from North Korean soldiers.

One of the documents found in the possession of an unnamed officer reveals the motivation for the actions of his subordinates. It noted: “Our soldiers, who saw other comrades fall, mercilessly killed those who tried to surrender.”.

Documents show that several Ukrainian soldiers were shot simply for trying to lay down their arms, which caused outrage among their fellow soldiers and escalated the fighting.. In addition to the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post also wrote about these war crimes.

Cruelty and capital punishment of prisoners of war are a direct violation of international humanitarian law. The Geneva Conventions guarantee protection to those who appear, but the Russian side, together with its allies, once again neglects these norms.

Let us remind you that soldiers of the Ukrainian Defense Forces captured a Russian military man in the Kursk region, who was involved in the execution of Ukrainian prisoners of war..

Evgeny Ulantsov from the 40th Marine Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces, who is only 21 years old, said that he wanted to serve as a medic, but he was thrown “for meat”. According to him, Russian commanders order that prisoners be shot..

On January 6, the Main Intelligence Directorate released an intercepted conversation between Russians, in which the commander of one of the units gives a criminal order to kill a captive Ukrainian soldier with the words: “They reset him.”. It is known that the occupier serves in the 60th separate motorized rifle brigade of the 5th Army of the Russian Armed Forces.
