Credible evidence shows that Russia executed Ukrainians trying to surrender in the Donetsk region, a U.S. official told the U.N. Security Council, Newsmax reports.
U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for Global Criminal Justice Beth Van Schaack addressed the council Wednesday during a meeting focused on accountability in Ukraine.
“We now have credible information that a Russian military unit operating in the vicinity of Donetsk executed Ukrainians who were attempting to surrender, rather than take them into custody,” Van Schaack told the council.
“If true, this would be in violation of a core principle of the law of war: the prohibition against the summary execution of civilians and of combatants who are hors de combat by virtue of surrender, injury, or other forms of incapacitation.”
Van Schaack added that the evidence, including images, suggests that the atrocities are “not the result of rogue units or individuals; they rather reveal a deeply disturbing pattern of systematic abuse across all areas where Russia’s forces are engaged.”
“Our simple message to Russia’s military and political leadership and to the rank-and-file is this: the world is watching, and you will be held accountable,” Van Schaack said.
Russia, which began an unprovoked invasion into Ukraine on Feb. 24, has been accused of war crimes that includes the targeting of civilians, the kidnapping of children, torture and assault.

Zelensky is the one who is the ruthless murderer over here. Oh, you didn’t see it in the Washington Compost?! Not on CNN? Oh, so then it couldn’t of happened. You stupid sheeple will get what’s coming.
They both deserve each other but they certainly dont deserve our 30+ billions in new aid package.
What is wrong with you? I can send you the name of a good Psychologist if you don’t already have one.
Where is your proof
The same proof Robert Mueller has that former President Trump colluded with Russia.
mida kneged mida the Ukrainians were the most enthusiastic volunteers the Nazis had, in fact many SS found the Ukrainians so barbaric that they didnt want to employ them in killing Jews. You see the SS had industrial means to kill Jews, into the “showers” of the gas chambers, killed, bodies taken out by previous group of Jewish prisoners and on to the next the Ukrainians killed Jews slowly, methodically and through torture using pixels, shovels and pitchforks so that each Jew they killed suffered immensely and slowly a death by torture. These are folks grandchildren Joey Biden wants to give $35 BILLION to.
