Zelensky calls on world leaders to respond to video of execution of Ukrainian prisoner of war
Russian occupants brutally killed a captured Ukrainian soldier and recorded it on video.
On the evening of April 11, a video of the brutal murder of a Ukrainian prisoner was shared on social media. The footage shows a Russian soldier cutting off the head of a Ukrainian defender, who was still alive at the time, with a knife.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on world leaders to respond to the video showing Russian occupiers beheading a Ukrainian prisoner.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy«There is something that no one in the world can ignore. How easily these beasts kill. The world should see this video of the execution of a Ukrainian prisoner. This is a video of Russia as it is.
What kind of creatures are these? There are no people for them. A son, a brother, a husband, someone's child. This is a video of Russia, which is trying to make this the new normal - a habit, to destroy lives.
This is not an accident, this is not an episode. It happened before, it happened in Bucha. Thousands of times. Everyone must react, every leader. And do not wait for it to be forgotten, for time to pass...
No one will understand if the leaders do not react. Now we need to act and focus on the frontline in Ukraine. We need to help drive the occupier from our land as much as possible. The main goal is to win.»
Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said that the new video of the brutal execution of a Ukrainian prisoner emphasizes the need to expel Russia from the UN Security Council and the organization as a whole.
Dmytro Kuleba«It is absurd that Russia, which acts worse than ISIS, presides over the UN Security Council. Russian terrorists must be expelled from Ukraine and the UN and brought to justice for their crimes,» Dmytro Kuleba emphasized.
The Estonian Foreign Minister said that after such facts it is impossible to talk about any dialog with Russia or the presence of Russian athletes at the Olympic Games.
Ukrainian human rights activists also reported that there are about a hundred places in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine and in Russia where about a thousand Ukrainian civilians are being held.
