Re-Execution of Defenseless Prisoners of War by the Russian Army!
In their counteroffensive in the western Russian region of Kursk, Putin’s soldiers take swift action. Gruesome footage of disarmed and naked Ukrainian soldiers, who were all reportedly executed with headshots after their surrender, has surfaced, as both Ukrainian and Russian sources confirm.
Nine Ukrainian soldiers of the 1st Brigade were “shot in the Kursk region” after surrendering to the Russian attackers, according to activist group “DeepState.” They were drone pilots. An army photo shows the young Ukrainians lying face down on the ground with their hands crossed over their heads.

“It is known that the guys went to their positions and were forced to attack the enemy there. However, the number of FPV drones was limited, and they were forced to surrender,” explained “DeepState.” The incident occurred on Thursday near the village of Selenyj Schlyach, about seven kilometers inside Russia.
“Serious Violation of the Geneva Convention”
“Such actions are a serious violation of the Geneva Convention on the treatment of prisoners of war,” said Ukrainian Human Rights Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets.
He added: “Russia is a terrorist state that violates all rules and norms of war. The international community must not turn a blind eye to such crimes!”
Russian military bloggers confirmed the incident and celebrated the war crimes of their own army. Russian war blogger “Alex Parker” (240,000 subscribers on Telegram) praised Putin’s death squad: “They did the right thing. They surrendered. But they were executed for their shameful acts.”
Ukraine Denies Russian Advancement
The Russian Defense Ministry announced over the weekend that its forces had recaptured two villages in Kursk.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky contradicted on Saturday in his evening video address: “As for the Kursk operation, Russia tried to push back our positions, but we hold the designated lines.”
