According to the head of the OP Yermak, this is an example of “national worthlessness and weakness” of the Russians. Zelensky was promised that the military involved in this would be punished.
The Russian occupiers shot a Ukrainian soldier for saying “Glory to Ukraine.” Relevant video on Monday, March 6, published blogger and volunteer Sergey Sternenko on his Twitter account.
“Another war crime of the Russians. A Ukrainian soldier was captured. After he said “Glory to Ukraine,” the Russian shot him and filmed it,” Sternenko said.

On the recording, the Ukrainian defender, smoking his last cigarette, says “Glory to Ukraine” to the camera, after which an automatic burst is heard in his direction, and the prisoner of war falls to the ground.
The Office of the President reacted to the incident. The head of the OP, Andriy Yermak, stressed in his Telegram channel that the participants in the execution would be held accountable for a war crime.
“War crimes are cultivated in Russia. And they are whitewashed with propaganda and myths about the ‘Nazis’. The murder of a prisoner of war is another example of this. It is also an example of their national insignificance and weakness. Retribution will come for every such war crime. No one can hide from him” , — wrote Yermak.
Note that the identity of the deceased Ukrainian soldier has not yet been established.
Recall, on March 5, Stephen Rap, a judge at the People’s Court in The Hague, said that a successful vote of the UN General Assembly is necessary to create a tribunal over Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Earlier, on March 1, the Prosecutor General of Latvia, Juris Stukans, believes that a special tribunal to investigate the crimes of the Russian Federation can be created in one day.
On February 28, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba said that during the opening of the 52nd session of the UN Human Rights Council dedicated to the genocide in Ukraine, he called on the world community to join the international coalition to create a special tribunal for the political and military leadership of Russia.
