Ukrainian SOF Target Russian Soldiers Implicated in POW Executions
In response to the execution of two Ukrainian prisoners of war by Russian soldiers from the 40th Arctic Brigade, Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces conducted a targeted operation. The operation resulted in the deaths of three Russian soldiers and the capture of three others, who have reportedly confessed to the killings under orders from their commander. These actions followed numerous documented violations of the Geneva Conventions by Russian forces, including the reported execution of at least 124 Ukrainian POWs. The captured soldiers’ testimonies and the recovered bodies of the Ukrainian soldiers are now being used as evidence of these war crimes.
