  • A new report says that Russia has executed people.

  • The report is based on interviews with people.

  • A woman said her husband was shot dead by Russian soldiers after asking for cigarettes.

According to a new report, Russian soldiers have extrajudicially executed civilians in Ukraine, based on interviews with over 20 people from villages and towns near Kyiv.

We have gathered evidence that Russian forces have committed extrajudicial executions and other unlawful killings, which must be investigated as likely war crimes.

There are testimonies that show that civilians are being killed in their homes and streets in acts of shocking brutality. The deaths must be thoroughly investigated and those responsible must be brought to justice.

A 46-year-old woman from the village of Bohdanivka, who was not named in the report for security reasons, said that on the evening of March 9 she and other family members, including her husband, 10-year-old daughter, and mother-in, were killed She said that they shouted to the Russian troops that they were civilians. Two Russian soldiers pushed them into the boiler room after they came downstairs.

They slammed the door after forcing us in. They opened the door and asked my husband if he had a cigarette. He had not smoked for a couple of weeks. He was shot in the arm. She said that the other told them to shoot him in the head.

He did not die immediately. He was breathing from 9:30 pm to 4 am. I put his hand on my knee and begged him to move his finger. He had blood coming out of him. When he died, I turned to my daughter and said, "It seems daddy has died."

According to the report, a neighbor said that he saw the husband's body in the corner of the boiler room after Russian forces broke into the home. The woman and her daughter were able to leave the village, but the woman's mother-in-law was unable to.

Kateryna Tkachova said she hid in the cellar as her parents were killed by Russian troops. Tkachova said she saw tanks roll down her street, which was marked with the letter Z.

I jumped over the fence to the neighbor's house after the tanks passed by. I wanted to know if they are still alive. I looked over the fence and saw my mother lying on the side of the road and my father lying on the side of the street. He had large holes in his coat. I went to them the next day. Tkachova said that her father had six large holes in his back and her mother had a smaller hole in her chest.

Russia has been accused of committing war crimes. President Joe Biden called for Putin to be put on trial for war crimes.

Biden said that he got criticized for calling Putin a war criminal. We have to gather the information.

It can take years to investigate and prosecute war crimes, and experts say it would be difficult to bring Putin to trial and enforce any penalties.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russia of genocide after it was discovered that hundreds of people were killed in a suburb of Kyiv. Horrifying images of corpses scattered in the streets and dead people with gunshot wounds and their hands tied behind their backs emerged.
