Lubinets made the statement during a U.N. Human Rights Council meeting.
“As of the end of 2025, 337 Ukrainian prisoners of war were deliberately and brutally executed by Russian forces,” Lubinets said.
Citing U.N. data, he said more than 95% of Ukrainian prisoners of war have been systematically tortured by Russian forces. “Russia uses torture as a weapon,” he added.
Lubinets urged the international community to increase pressure on Russia and hold those responsible to account.
“This issue is critically important; the world cannot stand aside,” he said.
In April 2025, the U.N. Human Rights Monitoring Mission
in Ukraine said it had documented 91 extrajudicial executions of Ukrainian
prisoners of war since August 2024. In July 2025, the Office of the
Prosecutor General said prosecutors had documented the killings of 273
Ukrainian prisoners of war since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in
early 2022.
