Ukraine investigates suspected beheading of soldier by Russia, prosecutors say​

June 18 (Reuters) - Ukraine is investigating the suspected beheading of one of its servicemen by Russian forces in an occupied part of the eastern Donetsk region, the Ukrainian general prosecutor's office said on Tuesday.

Russia, which has repeatedly denied its forces carry out war crimes during the full-scale invasion of Ukraine launched in February 2022, has made no comment on the allegation.

"The fact of decapitation of a Ukrainian defender was recorded in the Donetsk region," Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin wrote on the X social media platform.

In a statement, the general prosecutor's office said the severed head of a Ukrainian soldier had been identified on a damaged armoured vehicle during aerial reconnaissance of the area.

It said the Ukrainian military had received information on Monday that members of a unit of Russian forces in Donetsk region's Volnovaha district had ordered their subordinates not to capture Ukrainian servicemen and to behead them.

Kostin posted an image on X of a damaged military vehicle that had an object on its bonnet that had been pixelated. Reuters could not independently verify the image. Kostin says that Ukraine has documented nearly 130,000 war crimes committed by Russia.

ISW - Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment
June 19, 2024

Ukrainian Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin reported on June 18 that his office has received confirmation that Russian forces beheaded a Ukrainian soldier in Volnovakha Raion, Donetsk Oblast and displayed the severed head on a damaged Ukrainian vehicle.

Kostin stated that Ukrainian intelligence revealed that the Russian battalion- and company-level commanders in charge of this sector of the front ordered their subordinates not to capture Ukrainian soldiers and take them captive as prisoners of war (POWs) as required by international law, but to kill them by beheading them.

ISW cannot independently confirm which Russian commanders issued the order to behead the Ukrainian POW, but Kostin's report is consistent with a larger observed trend of prolific Russian abuses against Ukrainian POWs that is apparently enabled, if not explicitly endorsed, by individual Russian commanders and upheld by Russian field commanders.

1. Just the one image that appears to be a screengrab from drone footage. I was unable to located one that was not blurred out.

Very difficult to say either way what we are looking at, we are not the investigators who will be tasked with looking into this, if they can access the site or obtain more imagery.

And don't shoot the messenger.

Pisses me off that no Russian will go to trail for this type of shit.

Another attempt of Ukro bots to spread the billshido.
These Ukrainian armored vehicles, tanks get destroyed by Russian artillery and FPV drones at the long distance where the Russian infantry can not get access. This Ukrop head probably landed after being hit by FPV drone.

Here's the thing:

The entire purpose of making it a war crime to murder captured soldiers, is to protect your own nation's troops. It has become an internationally recognized crime.

So what happens when one side blatantly murders surrendering and captures soldiers?

Retaliation. That's what has always traditionally happened in warfare. Now in modern times, retaliation would ALSO be a war crime. However, the Ukrainian military could very well have retaliation against captured Russian soldiers be overlooked by a sympathetic western-led criminal court system. Russia s doing this to Ukrainians only put THEIR OWN lives at even GREATER risk, considering this war.is NOT going the way that the Ork propaganda constantly has been making it out to be.

They didnt say it was for sure a beheading. Looks like one though and needs to be investigated

Well i think Ukraine could retaliate but in a legal way. Dont go and capture and torture and behead disarmed surrendered soldiers but just some kind of retaliatory strike or something. Ukraine is so limited in its ability to do that though. Another thing that annoys me.

Constant drive to lie to everybody and to yourself it's an innate nature of Ukrobots.
Maybe some gullible folks may believe in your bullshit but there is one MAIN indisputable fact that exposes your lies.
The numerous videos where wounded Russian soldiers commit suicide.
And you Ukrobots showed such videos here too.
Ask yourself why wounded Russian soldiers most of the time prefer death rather than Ukrop captivity. This is because they will be killed but before being killed they will be tortured.

You Ukrops castrate Russian POWs, break their legs and arm, forcefully fill colons with the polyurethane spray foam. You rape captured women and fill with the same foam their vaginas.
Meanwhile there is more than 10k Ukrop POWs in Russia and this number is constantly growing.

You kill your own soldiers if they decided to surrender to Russians.
The irony fact is that many Ukrainian POWs don't want to be exchanged with Russian POWs and be returned to Ukraine. Because they known that as soon as they come back to Ukraine they will be sent again as cannon fodder to the war.

I'm not big on torture. But I would think that a simple single shot to the head of captured prisoners for every Ork crime detected should be allowed as an exception to the international laws. And said executions should be made publically viewable.

Russia is the aggressor here. They illegally crossed an international boundary with no passport or other legal documents under Ukrainian law. They have committed mass vandalism of civilian and government properties. They have attacked, killed, and murdered security forces and civilians alike. Every single man that has worn the uniform of a Russian soldier and crossed over into Ukrainian territory, is complicit in all of the above crimes and more I didn't list.

Now, Ukraine abolished the death penalty in 2000. Considering this is an extraordinary situation with extreme national security issues at hand, they could easily institute the death penalty on all criminal terrorists that have crossed over into their nation.

The only legal purpose for any nation to go into any other nation, is to end criminal activities against civilian populations, such as genocide and mass theft. Also, as in the case of the Gulf War in 1991, to defend a nation against another aggressor nation and retaliate against the aggressor and impose international order. Which means every single US president, from Harry Truman (Korea), to Biden should all be considered criminals. Even Bush 1, because the Gulf War (one of the preceiously few legal actions), wasn't the only military campaign he engaged in.

That what they are saying on your state tv? Thats not true. My country wouldn't send weapons to them if they were doing that. Your side is the one doing the most war crimes hand down. Face it and make Russia better

Facepalm.

russia has done nothing wrong here, they are only liberating areas they think need it.
the USA (fuck yah!) has done this many times to great advantage of and for the local populations.

 

[dwdays]

BwaaHaaHaa…war crimes! Good one.

 

[Guipago]

You rape captured women and fill with the same foam their vaginas.

And just where do these captured women come from? All the towns in front of Russian advances get evacuated before the Russian artillery blows the fuck out of them, this evacuation is not shown on here, but is very real all the same, what your not smart enough to realize is there are war journalists all through Ukraine recording exactly what's going on, but you keep believing Russian news sources that only exist if they play ball with the Government, can you understand the meaning of this? Make everything look good for us or else! Are there any news outlets that have criticized the Government & survived? No?
https://www.trtworld.com/europe/rus...ands-to-evacuate-in-ukraines-kharkiv-18139006
Just an example, as well as fighting Russians Ukraine has to get the manpower together to move a lot of people & find food & housing, ever wonder where some tax dollars end up?

Russians have ALREADY BEEN TRIED for war crimes. In Russia. And in Ukraine. Ukrainian soldiers do just as much warcriming as Russia (or any other country for that matter).

Who? Show me evidence of this?

I don’t doubt Ukranian soldiers have done some war crimes but not like Russia and they are more attentive to stopping it. Maybe its because they are cynical and they know we and the EU won’t send them weapons if the go full barbarian idk but it’s a smear to try and say “oh they both do it, so they are the same”. Bullshit. Some of our troops killed prisoners and raped and stuff in WW2 but it’s not even close to our enemy.

When is the commanding commanding officer for this going to trial:

The soldiers in the Bucha massacre were tried and sentenced. You said none have been. 😐

This seems to have been missed by Western media, something this big would have been a gold mine for media, can you throw up the links?

I agree guipago, show me evidence because that has been missed in the west if it’s true. As far as I know the Kremlin doesn’t even acknowledge there was a massacre.
