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.”

From November 2023 — weeks after the Israel-Hamas war began — until January of this year, the Houthis targeted over 100 merchant vessels with missiles and drones,and killing four sailors.
