Russian troops executed two captured Ukrainian National Guardsmen near Dobropillia in Donetsk Oblast, according to Ukrainian prosecutors, who have launched a war-crimes investigation into the incident. The case adds to a documented pattern of alleged executions of Ukrainian prisoners of war by Russian forces. Ukrainian officials have repeatedly condemned such incidents as violations of international humanitarian law, and the case is expected to be added to a growing body of evidence being compiled for potential future war-crimes prosecutions.
