In a photo circulating online, a man is seen lying on his back on a rubble-strewn road with a sword protruding from his chest.

Duct tape can be seen around the wrists of one of his blood-stained arms.

The words “for Kursk ” are written in Cyrillic on the sword, in seeming reference to Ukraine ’s cross-border attack on the Russian border region.

Ukraine 's prosecutor general said the image showed “another act of barbarism” by Russia .
