A human rights group has accused Russian military forces of committing war crimes against Ukrainian civilians during the invasion of Ukraine.
Human Rights Watch, a nongovernmental organization, says that it has documented several instances in which Russian soldiers have committed war crimes against the Ukrainian people, according to a statement released on Sunday. Instances of violent crimes include rape, murder, and violence committed against civilians.
One instance occurred in Bucha, a suburban town outside of the capital city of Kyiv, where five men were executed by soldiers after being forced to kneel on the side of the road, a witness told HRW. Another instance involved six men who had been apprehended on Feb. 27 also being executed, one of the victims' mothers said.
