Whether this is government policy or individual war crimes needs determination. That someone posted this on social media suggests someone at the scene was horrified enough to expose fellow soldiers. 4/7/22 Newsweek:
A video posted online Monday appears to show a group of Ukrainian troops shooting captured Russia soldiers dead outside a village west of Kyiv.
The New York Times verified the video, which was shared on the social messaging app Telegram, on Thursday. The apparent killing of prisoners of war, which would be forbidden under the Geneva convention, comes as Ukraine has accused Russia of multiple war crimes since it invaded in February.
"He's still alive. Film these marauders. Look, he's still alive. He's gasping," a man in the video says while an apparent Russian soldier with a jacket covering his head, is seen breathing heavily, surrounded by a pool of blood.
A soldier then shoots the man in the head twice. The man keeps moving, so the soldier shoots him again, and he stops.
