KYIV: The United Nations on Friday expressed deep concern over what it said were summary executions of prisoners of war (PoWs) by both Russian and Ukrainian forces on the battlefield.

The allegations came shortly after Kyiv accused Moscow's forces of killing a captured Ukrainian serviceman who was filmed saying 'Glory to Ukraine' before being shot dead.
