In the video, grainy drone footage shows a group of more than 10 people leaving a trench. They are lined up and then fall down after being fired upon by other, indistinct figures.

Ukraine's prosecutor general Andriy Kostin said on X: “This is the largest reported case of the execution of Ukrainian POWs on the front line and yet another indication that the killing and torture of prisoners of war are not isolated incidents.

“This is a deliberate policy of the Russian military and political leadership. We will identify and hold accountable the perpetrators of these crimes.”
He added that the incident took place on the Pokrovsk front, an area of intensified Russian assaults.

Moscow did not immediately comment on the accusations. The Kremlin denies that Russia commits war crimes in Ukraine. Ukrainian prosecutors have previously accused Russia of killing prisoners of war. They said in September they were investigating the deaths of at least 73 Ukrainian prisoners.

Kyiv says it has documented over 130,000 war crimes committed by Moscow since its full-scale invasion began in February 2022.

On September 23, a United Nations commission of inquiry on Ukraine said it had gathered evidence of torture, and the recurrent use of sexual violence as a form of torture, in almost all the Russian detention centres it has investigated.
