The United Nations voiced alarm Wednesday at a recent surge in alleged Russian executions of Ukrainian prisoners of war, saying it had verified 68 cases since the start of the war.

"I call on the Russian authorities to halt the summary executions of Ukrainian prisoners of war," Nada Al-Nashif, the deputy UN rights chief told the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva.
