Ukraine: Russians shot prisoners of war in the back

Six Ukrainian soldiers captured by Russia have been executed, according to Ukraine's ombudsman for human rights, AFP reports.

The ombudsman, Dmytro Lubinets, refers to a video that is circulating on social media, in which Russian soldiers appear to shoot unarmed Ukrainian soldiers one by one in the back. AFP has not been able to verify the video in question.

Lubinets' statement is the latest in a long series of allegations of war crimes from both parties in the war.
