Investigative actions are currently underway to establish all the circumstances of the crime and the persons involved in its commission.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The video, which has circulated widely on social media since January 23, shows what appear to be Russian soldiers taking turns shooting six unarmed Ukrainian POWs in their backs.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\"><span class=\"img embed__content\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" alt=\"ukraine-russia-pow-donetsk-video.jpg \" height=\"415\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/01\/29\/d96144af-9023-4fd7-a533-cab2792a07f6\/thumbnail\/620x415\/04ddc2693cfec165c26d01070876bfef\/ukraine-russia-pow-donetsk-video.jpg?v=d4034f91d2441fe84007132fdf593e3f 1x, https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/01\/29\/d96144af-9023-4fd7-a533-cab2792a07f6\/thumbnail\/1240x830\/94bb91458a6b45f001300ab45ca4c2f4\/ukraine-russia-pow-donetsk-video.jpg?v=d4034f91d2441fe84007132fdf593e3f 2x\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\"><span class=\"embed__caption\">A screengrab from a video that was circulating widely on social media by Jan. 23, 2024, shows an incident being investigated by Ukrainian authorities as a possible execution of Ukrainian POWs by Russian forces in the Donetsk region.

The six men seen in the clip haven&#8217;t been identified by Ukrainian authorities, but the yellow armbands they appear to have been wearing are consistent with those worn by Ukrainian forces operating in the region.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The video appears to show the men being shot just outside a dugout, which lends credibility to the prosecutor general&#8217;s assertion that they were killed after being captured during an assault.<\/p>\n<p>Before the video stops, one of the Russian soldiers says: &#8220;One is mine,&#8221; and a seventh soldier is shown on the ground, but his condition is not clear.<\/p>\n<p>The Ukrainian government&#8217;s Ombudsman, Dmytro Lubinets, <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/dmytro_lubinetzs\/7753\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">said<\/a> he had filed a war crimes claim with the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross over the incident shown in the video.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Russian army has never been known for its decent treatment of prisoners of war, and once again it demonstrates its helplessness and criminality,&#8221; Lubinets said in a statement. &#8220;The lack of accountability has turned the crime into a system. We cannot turn a blind eye to this! Ukraine needs justice and accountability for those who commit crimes and do not comply with any norms!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The allegations against the Russian forces come as President Vladimir Putin&#8217;s nearly three-year invasion of Ukraine grinds on, with his troops making small but steady territorial gains across Eastern Ukraine&#8217;s Donbas region.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, Russia&#8217;s military claimed troops had recaptured the village of Dvorichna, near the northeastern city of Kharkiv. Russian forces first seized the village not long after Putin launched the full-scale invasion in February 2022, but it was retaken by Ukrainian forces months later during a counter-offensive.<\/p>\n<p>The war has shown no signs of easing despite President Trump taking office for a second term in the U.S., after repeatedly claiming he could end the war within days.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Many Ukrainians, and their backers in Europe, have worried that Mr. Trump could pressure Ukraine, by <span class=\"link\"><a
