Ukraine’s president has appealed to the international community to act after videos circulated on social media that appeared to show Ukrainian soldiers being beheaded by Russian forces. 'This is not an accident. This is not an episode. This was the case earlier. This was the case in Bucha. Thousands of times. Everyone must react. Every leader,' Volodymyr Zelenskiy said.

One video being circulated appears to show the beheaded bodies of two Ukrainian soldiers on the ground next to the remains of a military vehicle. A second clip, which may have been filmed last summer, judging by the appearance of foliage in the footage, claims to show a member of Russian forces using a knife to cut off the head of a Ukrainian soldier. The Guardian has not independently verified the origins and veracity of the two videos, but Ukrainian authorities are treating them as genuine.
