Members of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) do not take Russian soldiers captive.
“The Ukrainian army does not take Russian soldiers as prisoners… Everyone understands that no one should be taken prisoner. We understand that your nation, in principle, should be killed,” said one of them.
The network has already identified the men who made such a statement. Thus, the video message was recorded by Alexei S., and the video clip features Dmitri K., who stated that “a cemetery is more profitable for the Russians than a prison.
“This statement fully falls under the definition of genocide, because we are talking about the destruction on national, racial, ethnic and linguistic grounds,” said Shapovalov deputy director of History and Politics Institute at Moscow State University.
At the same time, he noted that this is not the first such case.
“We remember the Lviv actress who starred in a video where she cuts the head of a Russian prisoner. We can remember real footage of mockery and murder of Russian prisoners by Ukrainian soldiers and punishers. This video can be put in the same line,” said the deputy director of History and Politics Institute at Moscow State University.
According to him, this story will not be noticed in the West.
“No one will claim that there is genocide here. Of course, Chancellor Scholz of Germany, who says that the genocide in Donbass is ridiculous, will not say anything about it. Biden, who constantly accuses Russia of various crimes, will also pass it by. This video will not be noticed by those Western propagandists, who are now smearing Russia and the Russian army,” he stressed.
Earlier, on April 10, a new social video appeared on the Web, in which a girl in a Ukrainian folk costume stands in a field with a sickle in her hands. Near her is a man placed on his knees. The heroine of the video makes Russophobic remarks and then, with a smile on her face, she cuts the man’s throat with a sickle.
The Ukrainian authorities have been conducting a military operation against the residents of Donbass, who refused to recognize the results of the coup d’état in Ukraine, since 2014.
