A photojournalist and a soldier who were killed by Russian forces in Ukraine were "coldly executed," a press group said.

Maks Levin and serviceman Oleksiy Chernyshov, both Ukrainian, were killed by Russian forces weeks after the invasion started but new details about where their bodies were discovered suggest they were executed, Reporters Without Borders said Wednesday.

Levin’s body was found lying in the dirt, with a single bullet buried in the soil underneath, the group said.

"He was probably killed with one, perhaps two bullets fired at close range when he was already on the ground," the group determined.

Levin’s clothes and a media helmet were found nearby.

Chernyshov’s body was burned and was discovered near a jerrycan for gasoline, the group said.

These findings "show that the two men were doubtless coldly executed," Reporters Without Borders said.

Their bodies were initially found on April 1 near the village Huta Mezhyhirska, north of Kyiv. 

They were last heard from on March 13, days after Levin reported being under fire from Russian soldiers on March 10.
