In an interview with the online newspaper Ukrajinska Pravda, the Human Rights Commissioner of the Verkhovna Rada (Ukrainian Parliament – editor’s note) Dmytro Lubinets said he had received “dozens” of videos in the past 10 months showing Ukrainian soldiers being brutally murdered by Russian troops .
The recordings are unimaginably brutal. According to Lubinets, they show Ukrainians “have had their heads, genitals, ears, noses and limbs cut off”. It has been possible to identify some of the Russians responsible for these atrocities. One of them has already been punished. He was killed in combat with Ukrainian forces.
Russian site deliberately publishes material?
The human rights commissioner assumes that the Russian side deliberately distributes such material. This is intended, among other things, to make the Russian soldiers believe that they should not voluntarily become Ukrainian prisoners of war. Because otherwise the Ukrainians would kill them.
“Nature of the Terrorist State of Russia”
In mid-April, a video was released showing the beheading of a Ukrainian soldier by Russian troops. Head of State Volodymyr Zelenskyy demanded a response from the political elite. Lubinets turned to the UN. According to an adviser close to Zelenskyy, the video “reveals the whole essence of the terrorist state of Russia”.
According to her, it is also a psychological operation by Russia, designed to intimidate both Ukraine and “Western societies”. In turn, pro-Russian channels said the Ukrainian side was behind the videos. The reason for the crimes is that they want to “disguise the identity of the soldiers”.
