Yermak condemns killing of Ukrainian POW by Russian forces

The murder of the Ukrainian prisoner of war by the Russian soldiers, shot on video, is an example of their national “weakness.”

That’s according to Andiy Yermak, Head of the Ukrainian President’s Office, who addressed the issue on Telegram, Ukrinform reports.

"War crimes are cultivated in Russia. And they are whitewashed by propaganda and myths about the ‘Nazis.’ The killing of a captured man is yet another example confirming this," Yermak noted.

According to the head of the president’s office, "this is an example of their national insignificance and weakness."

"There will be retribution for every such war crime. No one will be able to hide," Yermak emphasized.

As reported, footage of how the occupiers executed a Ukrainian soldier for his phrase "Glory to Ukraine" is circulating online. Where and when the video was shot remains unclear.
