Ukraine's Prosecutor General initiates pre-trial investigation into Ukrainian serviceman's execution by Russian forces, violating international humanitarian law.

Ukraine's Prosecutor General's Office has initiated a pre-trial investigation into the execution of a Ukrainian serviceman by Russian forces, violating international humanitarian law. A social media video showed a probable Ukrainian officer's decapitated head impaled on a stake. Ukraine's Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets appealed to the UN and ICRC, stating the video is another violation of international humanitarian law by Russia. The alleged crime scene is believed to be the Kolotilovka checkpoint in Russia's Belgorod Oblast.
