'Summary killings' of Ukraine soldiers in east - Amnesty

1 hour ago
Europe

Amnesty International has said it has evidence pro-Russian rebels in eastern Ukraine summarily killed four Ukrainian soldiers in their captivity.

Witnesses told the group that one government soldier was shot at point-blank range by a separatist commander.

Amnesty also said it had videos of three others shown alive in captivity, then dead in a morgue with bullet wounds to their heads and upper bodies.
