This comes after footage of Russian prisoners of war being shot in the legs has emerged online. According to the Investigative Committee of Russia, the video was made "at one of the Ukrainian nationalists bases in the Kharov region."
Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that Kiev’s confirmation of the need to ensure a non-nuclear and non-bloc status of Ukraine, and their delegation's understanding that the issues of Crimea and Donbas are resolved show significant progress at the negotiations.
Russia launched a military operation last month with the stated goal of putting an end to war crimes committed by Ukrainian troops against civilians during an eight-year offensive against Donbas residents.

Ambassador Accuses State Dept of Exceeding Russian Losses in Ukraine to Incite Unrest
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov said that the US Department of State was consciously exceeding the Russian military losses in Ukraine to incite public unrest in Russia.
The ambassador thus responded to the remarks of Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland, who said that Russia lost over 10,000 servicemen during the special military operation in Ukraine. The Russian Defense Ministry said on March 25 that the military operation had left more than 1,300 Russian servicemen dead and over 3,800 injured. Ukraine claims even higher Russian losses than the United States: about 14,000 killed and some 16,000 injured.
"The official of the State Department is consciously exceeding the losses of the Russian Armed Forces in Ukraine. These remarks have a cynic goal: to trigger public unrest in our country. This will not happen," Antonov said, as quoted by the embassy's Telegram channel.
