The DIU records over 150 instances of extrajudicial executions of Ukrainian soldiers by order of the Kremlin

According to the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, the number of executions of Ukrainian soldiers on the battlefield is increasing – more than 150 such cases have already been recorded.

This is reported by DIU of the Ministry of Defence.

Intelligence officers have also documented direct orders to kill prisoners.

The DIU also quotes the words of the UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial executions, Dr. Morris Tidball-Binz, who is confident that such executions "would not occur with such number and frequency without the order or consent" of the Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin.

"These crimes – are not isolated incidents, but part of a deliberate policy by the leadership of the aggressor state — Russia," noted the DIU.
