Ukrainian leaders reacted with horror on Monday to a video of an alleged shooting of a prisoner of war by Russian soldiers. “War crimes are cultivated in Russia,” Andriy Yermak, head of the presidential office at the Mariinsky Palace (pictured above), wrote on Telegram.
It is an example of Russian weakness. “There will be a punishment for each of these war crimes. No one can escape it,” said President Volodymyr Zelensky’s confidante. Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba told journalists he was depressed after watching the video.
The authenticity of the video cannot be verified for now
The Human Rights Commissioner of the Ukrainian Parliament, Dmytro Lubinets, described the alleged shooting as “an expression of meanness and meanness”. The 41-year-old stressed that killing prisoners was a violation of the Geneva Conventions. He sent the video to his international colleagues as evidence of “another war crime by Russia”. The authenticity of the video could not initially be verified by an independent party.
“You’re a bitch! Die, bitch!”
There was a video previously published by the Internet portal “Ukrajinska Pravda” in which a man in a Ukrainian uniform shouted “Glory to Ukraine” and then the Russians shouted “You’re a bitch! Die, bitch!” screamed, killed with several shots.
The slogan “Glory to Ukraine” was coined by Ukrainian nationalists who collaborated with Hitler’s Germany during World War II. In 2018, it became a mandatory salute for police and military use.
Russia has been at war with Ukraine for more than a year. Hard-to-verify videos of Ukrainian soldiers shooting Russian prisoners have also surfaced in the past. Moscow had criticized this as a war crime.
