Video shows Russian drone killing white flag-waving civilians and dog, Ukraine opens war crimes investigation

Prosecutors in Kharkiv have opened a pre-trial war-crimes investigation after a video appeared to show a Russian FPV drone killing two unarmed civilians and their dog near the village of Kruhliakivka on Nov. 3.

The footage, released by Ukraine's 77th Airmobile Brigade, was recorded near Kruhliakivka in the Kupiansk district of Kharkiv Oblast, an area now under Russian control. There were no military targets or positions near the site of the strike, the brigade says.

UN Commission concludes that Russian armed forces’ drone attacks against civilians in Kherson Province amount to crimes against humanity of murder

"From July 2024, Russian forces have recurrently killed and injured civilians in an area stretching over more than 100 kilometres along the right bank of the Dnipro River in Kherson Province. The drone attacks have been widespread, systematic and conducted as part of a coordinated state policy, the report said."

"They are simply chasing and hunting civilians who are on their way to work or walking their dogs. They drop explosives from drones like it is a video game."

"The use of drones to target civilians and civilian objects is a violation of the fundamental principle of international humanitarian law, according to which attacks may only be directed at military objects. The evidence collected leaves no doubt that the perpetrators intended to carry out these acts. The Commission therefore concludes that Russian armed forces perpetrated the war crime of intentionally directing attacks against civilians in Kherson Province."
