Russian troops executed five captured Ukrainian servicemen in the Pokrovsk area, which is a blatant violation of international humanitarian law. According to preliminary reports, the incident took place in November 2024 during a Russian assault on Ukrainian defensive positions near the village of Petrivka in Pokrovske district.

Facing an attack, five Ukrainian soldiers were forced to retreat and sought refuge in a private home. When Russian troops surrounded the place, they made Ukrainian soldies come out of the shelter  and lie on the ground, and then shot them dead with automatic weapons. This act breaches the Geneva Conventions, which protect prisoners of war.

The Office of the Prosecutor General has launched a pretrial investigation, classifying the killings as a war crime. Meanwhile, Ukrainian human rights mbudsman Dmytro Lubinets has filed formal complaints to the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross.

Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.

Notorious supporter of the concept “in order for a cow to eat less and give more milk, it needs to be fed less and milked more” “Servant of the People” Danylo Hetmantsev, under the guise of “business requirements”, registered a draft law on the collection of VAT on all foreign purchases, regardless of their value. In other words, every Ukrainian, buying goods of any value and purpose abroad, when sending them to Ukraine, will have to pay an additional fifth part, or 20% of the cost of the goods.
