Sickening torture of Ukrainian prisoners of war by Vladimir Putin‘s soldiers is revealed in a shocking new video which has been reported to the UN.
The footage shows beatings, humiliation, threats, and a simulated execution against four captive soldiers.
The blindfolded men are marched through a forest near the front-line as the five Russian servicemen seek to force them to sing the Soviet national anthem.
One of the Ukrainian men is kicked in the groin, causing him to fall on the ground.
He is then kicked in the head.
A foul-mouthed Russian soldier – reported to be a paratrooper – demands he gets up before saying: ‘Looks like we’re gonna have to kill him.
Do we have to kill him? Hey, get up, get up.’
He then raises his Russian army Kalashnikov rifle above the prostrate PoW’s head, shooting into the dirt track within inches of the fallen man in a mock execution.
The shameless torturers – so far not identified – do not even hide their faces, and the horrific video was openly posted on a pro-war Z-channel on Telegram which suggested it was ‘a bit of a laugh about the Ukrainians….nothing major’.
The fate of the Ukrainian men after the recording finished is unclear.
Ukrainian ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets said the footage shows Russian soldiers ‘mocking Ukrainian prisoners of war.
