Ukraine says it will investigate video footage circulated on Russian social media which Moscow alleges shows Ukrainian forces killed Russian troops who may have been trying to surrender.
Matilda Bogner, who heads the U.N. monitoring mission in Ukraine, said earlier this week that Ukrainian troops are suspected of some abuses, too.
The longest snippet, 36 seconds long and with cuts, shows a group of about 10 men in full military gear, some lying on the ground and others emerging one by one from an outbuilding with their hands raised, apparently unarmed. Under orders shouted by someone off-camera, they join the others already on the ground.
The video also features other men watching them, shown to be armed and wearing flashes of yellow on their arms, legs and helmets.Ukrainian forces often wear bits of yellow, blue or green to identify themselves on the battlefields. In the last few seconds of the video, a man emerges from behind the outbuilding. He appears to be armed. Amid what sounds like sustained gunfire, the video then becomes too blurred to see what happened next. The video cuts off a few seconds later.
