Washington D.C./08.03.23/Turan: The State Department said on Tuesday that it is aware of the “gruesome video” of the execution of an unarmed Ukrainian soldier, allegedly in Russian captivity, TURAN's Washington correspondent reports.
“The harrowing imagery of this unarmed Ukrainian being executed after making the simple statement of ‘Glory to Ukraine’ is just breathtaking in terms of its barbarity,” Spokesperson Ned Price told a daily press briefing.
“Russia, we believe, should be ashamed of itself,” Price added. "It is flouting the basic rules of war, basic humanity, basic decency, when its forces take part in atrocities like this."
Early on Tuesday Ukraine said that it had identified the soldier in the video - which spread on social media on Monday - who it claimed was shot dead by Russian invaders.
Price told reporters that it wasn't the first evidence of Russian war crimes and crimes against humanity in Ukraine.
"We’re not naïve to believe that Russia will admit to this or – in the near term – even change its ways. This, of course, is not the first evidence of Russia’s apparent atrocities in Ukraine. Unfortunately, it probably will not be the last. A tally that our Ukrainian partners are maintaining of potential war crimes or atrocities now has tens of thousands of instances on it," he added.
The spokesperson went on to emphasize: "Russia has – repeatedly says that it wants peace. There can be peace in Ukraine today; there could have been peace in Ukraine a year ago. Russia, if it is serious about that, can withdraw its forces from Ukraine."
