Ukraine Opens Probe Into Alleged Execution of Two Captured National Guard Soldiers Near Dobropillia
Ukrainian law enforcement has launched a pretrial investigation into reports that Russian military personnel executed two captured National Guard soldiers in the Donetsk region, according to Ukrinform.
Ukrainian law enforcement officers have opened a pretrial investigation into the alleged execution of two captured Ukrainian National Guard soldiers by Russian military personnel near the town of Dobropillia in the Donetsk region, the Ukrainian news agency Ukrinform reported.
According to Ukrinform, the soldiers were members of Ukraine's National Guard and had been taken prisoner by Russian forces before being killed, though the report did not specify when the alleged incident took place or provide further details on the circumstances.
The outlet said the investigation is being conducted by law enforcement authorities, though it did not name the specific agency handling the case or indicate what evidence has been gathered so far.
Ukrainian officials have previously reported similar cases involving the alleged killing of prisoners of war by Russian forces during the ongoing conflict, though such claims are typically investigated separately by Ukrainian authorities as potential war crimes.
Ukrinform's report did not include comment from Russian authorities, and the claims could not be independently verified at the time of publication.
