You can see videos where Ukrainian troops shoot Russian prisoners of war in the knees and where they call the families and loved ones of deceased Russian soldiers to mock their deaths.
The video embedded below is graphic, and viewer discretion is advised.
We can’t verify the videos, but a foreign correspondent from the BBC has indicated that she reviewed the clips.
“Seeing (not sharing) graphic videos from Ukraine. Ukraine has enabled ICC prosecutors to investigate allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity on both sides in accepting ICC jurisdiction,” she tweeted. “Rhetoric from some politicians suggests focusing on Russians alone.”

Firstly, I personally can’t say neither this nor that regarding the veracity of the video (also, warning: graphic content) and what is said about it. But Eliot is right that it’s important to investigate also this type of incident. I hope some clarification will be forthcoming. https://t.co/uQs3aeYNdV

Russian commentators who track the war on Telegram stated that provoking a brutal response for Russia could be the true motive behind the release of the videos.
Russian soldiers are shown exiting a van under the guard of Ukrainian soldiers.
It might give the impression that the Russian military were captured after having been wounded. But that's not the case. At the end of the video, we can see Ukrainian soldiers shooting all the newly arrived prisoners through their legs.#WarCrimes pic.twitter.com/o7B7M1p2pG

Ukrainian soldiers shoot Russian prisoners of war in the legs and afterwards give them a severe beating. At the beginning of the video, there are Russian POWs lying on the ground with bullet wounds in their legs, some of them have got leg bones broken. #WarCrimes pic.twitter.com/t8Wj33X8rv

Commentators tried to portray the videos as Russian propaganda, stating that the victims have been deserters who were punished.
This is a dangerous trend that could be stopped with more cash to build facilities for these captured soldiers, something few expected necessary a the war's start.
Ukraine promising and delivering on humane treatment for POWs will encourage more Russians to surrender. https://t.co/z3HjARHwCQ

Carl Fridg Kleberg is a foreign correspondent with Sweden’s national public news, found the videos credible enough to warrant an investigation.
Plenty of alleged blood on ground in longer video as I’ll assume you know. I was actually shown the longer video in part by a seasoned combat medic who did not appear to share your immediate dismissal, so respectfully I disagree (with stated caveats).

I can tell you right now that many Ukrainians, not least in Kharkiv region, speak Russian as their mother tongue without accent, and also that not showing faces their faces would make sense for several reasons. But yes, should be investigated.
