Russia sent a unit of Ukrainian prisoners of war to fight against their own countrymen, Russian media reports said.
The Institute for the Study of War think tank cited Russian state media reports saying the prisoners of war fought Ukrainian troops near Urozhaine, east Ukraine, according to Business İnsider.
According to reports in November, about 70 Ukrainian prisoners of war had been recruited from Russian penal colonies to form a fighting unit.
They were trained and sent back to fight in the frontline Donetsk region, the reports said.
Russian state media outlet RIA Novosti in November broadcast footage showing what it claimed was Ukrainians swearing an oath to fight for Russia.
But Ukrainian intelligence officials disputed the Russian reports, claiming they were part of a disinformation operation.
"As of now, this is yet another information and psychological operatio of the occupiers and yet another public war crime of the Russian invaders," Andriy Yusov, of Ukraine's Main Directorate of Intelligence, told the Kyiv Post.
The prisoner of war unit is said to be called the Bogdan Khmelnitsky battalion, after a cossack leader who in the 17th century brought parts of what's now Ukraine under Moscow's control.
The ISW notes that "the use of prisoners of war in military activities on the side of the power that has captured them" is banned under the Geneva Conventions, which Russia claims to uphold.
