"Tragedy Strikes as Russian Soldiers Allegedly Kill Ukrainian Family of Nine"

Two Russian soldiers have been arrested on suspicion of killing a family of nine, including two young children, in the Russian-occupied town of Volnovakha in eastern Ukraine. This is the first known case of Russia arresting its own soldiers for killing Ukrainian civilians since the invasion in 2022. Graphic photographs of the aftermath showed blood-splattered bodies in beds. Russian prosecutors claim the motive was a "domestic conflict," but independent sources and witnesses blame Russian soldiers. The Kremlin denies targeting civilians and has previously honored a brigade accused of war crimes.
