The FT investigates the rise in cases of Russian soldiers executing Ukrainian prisoners of war
The Financial Times investigates claims that Russia is systematically executing Ukrainian prisoners of war, with Ukrainian prosecutors asserting this constitutes a deliberate policy. Evidence includes video footage of such executions, often captured by Ukrainian drones and Russian soldiers themselves. The film highlights the normalization of these war crimes and the need for accountability, suggesting that high-ranking officials, including the Russian president, may bear responsibility. The case of Oleg Yakovlev, a Russian soldier involved in these acts, is also examined.
