Several intercepted radio conversations and drone footage have captured Russian orders to kill surrendering Ukrainian troops.
According to foreign media, it is reported that the intercepted order was clear: 'Capture the commander and kill the others'.
These intercepts were part of a series of radio transmissions between Russian forces, which Ukrainian officials say provide further evidence that Russian superiors are ordering soldiers to execute Ukrainian troops who surrender, in violation of international law.
Intercepted radio communications from Ukraine, which were obtained by CNN from a Ukrainian intelligence official, appear to correspond in time with drone footage of an alleged execution by Russian soldiers in the eastern Zaporizhzhia region of Ukraine last November. The footage shows six soldiers lying face down on the ground, at least two of them being shot at close range and another being forcibly removed.
The deaths are under investigation by Ukrainian prosecutors, who shared a screenshot of the drone video on social media after the incident. A Ukrainian official familiar with the investigation said the same radio intercepts that CNN had obtained were being reviewed as part of the investigation into the killings. (A2 Televizion)
