This is an illegal action.”Ukrainian prosecutors and United Nations officials say such extrajudicial killings of Ukrainian POWs — a crime under international law — have surged and are being encouraged by high-ranking Russian officials.

“We’ve documented a startling spike in the number of executions of captured Ukrainian service persons,” said Danielle Bell, the head of the U.N. Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine. “Calls on social media by public officials, amnesty laws, dehumanizing language within the context of impunity for these acts — it’s contributing to an environment that allows such acts or these crimes to take place.”At least 245 Ukrainian POWs have been killed by Russian forces since the war began, according to Ukrainian prosecutors.

“It’s definitely part of the policy, which is fully supported by the top leaders of the Russian Federation,” Yurii Bielousov, head of the war crimes department for Ukraine’s prosecutor general, told AP. “This isn’t the action of specific commanders. It is supported on the top level.”

The U.N. Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine documented 91 extrajudicial killings of Ukrainian POWs since August 2024. In the same period, they found one case of Ukrainian soldiers killing a Russian POW.Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris appears on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live,” with Maya Rudolph, Nov. 2, 2024 in New York.
