Russian Troops Routinely Execute Ukrainian POWs, Claims Hero of Ukraine

Major Oleh Shyriaiev, a decorated Ukrainian soldier and Hero of Ukraine, claimed Russian forces routinely execute Ukrainian prisoners of war in a December 29, 2025 interview with GB News. Shyriaiev stated the killings have become 'systematic,' contradicting international law and ongoing peace negotiations. The allegations add to mounting evidence of war crimes since Russia's full-scale invasion began in February 2022. GB News reported the story from London, citing Shyriaiev's firsthand accounts of Russian military conduct on the front lines.
