Ombudsman’s office received dozens of videos of Ukrainian military executions, - Lubinets
Over the past 9 months, the Office of the Ombudsman has received "dozens of videos" of public executions of Ukrainian military personnel by Russian soldiers.
As Censor.NET informs, Dmytro Lubinets, the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights, stated this in an interview with "Ukrainian Pravda".
"This is cutting off the head, cutting off the genitals, cutting off the ears, nose, limbs, phalanges on the hands.
Some (of the Russian soldiers who carried out these executions. - Ed.) managed to be verified. And I know that one person was punished (she died during a combat clash with Ukrainian troops)," he said.
According to the ombudsman, Russia publicly distributes videos of Ukrainian military executions for several reasons.
First, to "maintain the degree of anti-Ukrainian hysteria" within Russian society. Secondly, to convince his soldiers not to surrender to the Armed Forces ("They will kill you like this if you think of surrendering"). Thirdly, to intimidate the Ukrainian military, which is preparing for a counteroffensive.
Also remind, that a video appeared on the Internet, in which Russian war criminals from the "Rusich" SARG cut off the head of a captured Ukrainian soldier.
The Defence Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense stated that the invaders are trying to intimidate the Defense Forces of Ukraine with such publications.
President Volodymyr Zelensky said that no one in the world can ignore Russian terror.
CNN reported that two videos of the beheading of Ukrainian soldiers were published on social networks: filmed now and in the summer.
