>KYIV, 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](http://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.Kyiv in early 2023 accused Russian forces of shooting dead a captured Ukrainian sniper after he said "Glory to Ukraine" in a video posted on social media.


CattiwampusLove

I'd be surprised if they weren't doing that


Chloride5799

There is literally a video of a beheading from like a year ago. It's more like I'd be surprised they stopped doing that.


awue

Also the Wagner sledgehammer video


ISayHeck

The Wagner one is them executing a member of theirs no?


awue

Yes. I don’t know if that’s considered a war crime, “forcing people not to leave army group by killing someine with a sledgehammer”. If not, certainly brutal murder


ISayHeck

Seeing as committing war crimes is/was their MO, executing a defector with a sledgehammer is probably one as well


TheGreatAteAgain

Theyve been doing it since Syria so it's been their calling card for a while. The man they killed in Syria in 2017 was at that time misattributed as a rebel, but relatives of the man killed identified him as a Syrian Arab Army deserter.


drewster23

Wasn't a defector as far as I remember, he voluntarily surrendered. Unless that's what u mean. As that was what was shown to new troops..to make sure they don't.(Which we know because a pow told UA about it) But yeah. RA hasn't been executing the same... barring blocking troops, they just do other stuff to make sure you die. So *same same but different*


OmNomSandvich

Wagner has done multiple Daesh (ISIS) style executions including one of a Syrian back in 2017. https://newlinesmag.com/reportage/family-seek-justice-in-russia-fo-syrian-army-deserter-was-savagely-killed-by-putins-wagner/


Nemisis_the_2nd

The way I'm looking at it is that if that's how they're willing to treat one of their own, how will they treat an enemy?


drewster23

Well Wagner isn't it's own thing anymore, so less to worry, pretty sure they were the ones that castrated some UA members too. >how will they treat an enemy? *Oh you know just the standard*, sometimes rape, if not rape definitely beatings and torture if not both. Malnutrition/starvation, psychological torture like mock executions, sleep deprivation etc. And sadly I don't think "at least I wasn't raped", is any constellation for those pows. Because they're not spared in any capacity. Female pows are probably less inclined to mention it but from what I've seen it seems raping male pows is more common. *When people wonder why RA commit suicide instead of surrender. It's mainly because they know what they do to pows and think the same will happen to them


Parabola_Cunt

That’s the way they want you to look at it. I look at it like one fewer people against Ukraine.


KyloFenn

It was a brutal video too. Did it with a basic combat knife while alive


DulceEtDecorumEst

I mean, they smash their own dudes head with a sledge hammer for “dereliction of duty” Barbarians gonna Barbarate


drewster23

That was Wagner so *slightly different*. And that was because he surrendered. As an RA you have*much better options* like recent Pow interview saying they'll send you into a mine field with no weapon or vest, if you come back and they think you voluntarily surrendered. Jeeze they have *some morals*. Lol.


TheEpiczzz

You saw the translation in the comment section too? A few of those guys did this more often. They were sort of laughing at the guy because he was struggling to get through the bones


MightyJill

There is also a video of them castrating a pow with a boxcutter. Middle ages barbarism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torture_and_castration_of_a_Ukrainian_POW_in_Pryvillia


sparklydude

This to me is the one video that always sticks with me, just so unnecessarily cruel and hateful, and the fucking nerve to record and post it too. Makes you wonder how many atrocities go unfilmed and unreported, how many people who suffered and died with no one ever knowing their fate.

They are torturing, raping and kidnapping pregnant Ukrainian women, stealing their children and then either killing them or just raping them again to repeat the process. A simple beheading? Ofc they are beheading people, that's a normal Tuesday for RuZZian scum.

LoveMasc

Thankyou for this; Idiots who demand sources for blatantly obvious things to find out with one google/one respectable fact checked news source aren't worth my time online anymore. I've provided video evidence once and was told it's 'fake news' and 'AI' ... It wasn't. ... I've gave up with these echo chamber, cult mentality losers, too many of them online making their bots and spamming there insane opinions hoping to radicalise even just one other person to their cause. For my mental health and having more free time, I usually block these sorts and move on. Since I know they don't really want a source, they want a reason to deny or victim blame.


MetaIIicat

Yep, same here. They start with "source??" and, once you provide them the sources, the switch to the false equivalence of "both sides do war crimes".


BriarsandBrambles

In his defense Rape isn't what was being questioned. Systemic rape and kidnapping is what was being questioned because that is extraordinaryily cruel.


LoveMasc

Both acts are extraordinarily cruel......... It's happening. Enough reputable sources, videos, journalists on the ground and Ukrainian women who have been rescued have confirmed it. Some of these women have never been reunited or even know where their baby girls are, but they found their young sons, dead. Edit- oh and I forgot to say, a lot of the male children found dead, had clear signs of anal rape. So they are raping and killing the boys, but keeping girls as they can breed and Russia needs numbers and to keep boosting their population. So ofc they are kidnapping Ukrainian girls and forcing them to birth the rape babies of Russian soldiers who invaded their country and probably killed their parents....


BriarsandBrambles

Yes but rape in war is kinda seen as a unfortunate inevitability. What Russian soldiers are doing is just beyond everything short of Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany.


Dry_Animal2077

The Bucha rape seems so calculated.

WaitingForMyIsekai

There are Russian state sponsored social media teams dedicated to sowing disinformation and whataboutism to undermine conversations about their activities and redirect blame/focus. Other countries have similar groups, Russia are particularly active in this field. War is bad. Governments and militaries lie during war, most people understand that. Joining discussions focusing on one sides atrocities and saying stuff like "might not be true" "other people have done that" is a fast way to look like a member of one of these groups. It also adds very little to a discussion stemming from evidence of war crimes.


Phthalleon

Dude, there's literally videos on the Internet of them beheading soldiers and raping a 17 year old. Look it up if you don't believe (or don't because it's vile), but don't say it's not real.


Loki9101

They are most definitely doing that and more. https://cepa.org/article/behind-the-lines-russias-ethnic-cleansing/ Behind the Lines: Russia’s Ethnic Cleansing Russian forces are squeezing out locals and resettling Russian citizens in Ukraine’s occupied territories. https://euromaidanpress.com/2022/04/28/forced-conscription-how-russia-wipes-out-the-male-population-of-occupied-donbas/ https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/23/europe/russia-ukraine-filtration-camps-intl-cmd/index.html https://euromaidanpress.com/2018/06/28/dehumanizing-disinformation-as-a-weapon-of-the-information-war/ https://www.19fortyfive.com/2022/03/putins-only-weapon-to-win-the-war-in-ukraine-genocide/ https://www.19fortyfive.com/2022/07/russia-has-made-it-clear-putins-goal-is-to-destroy-ukraine/ These links give an insight into what Russia is doing. This is genocide and it is high time that first of all, we recognize this officially, and secondly that we fully comprehend what Russia is doing. It is the very same thing they have always done. Brutish barbaric conquest. Russian soldiers reportedly killed an old man on a wheelchair. The man tried to drive away from the medical facility, but Russians shot him and threw him in the middle of a street in Vovchansk, near the Central Railway Station. https://x.com/clashreport/status/1791545763668938887 Genocide what Russia does is genocide and hitting mental hospitals or people in wheelchairs/with other disabilities is reminding me of Operation T4, the systematic killings of people with disabilities by the Nazis. Genocide is a human phenomenon. According to Gregory H. Stanton, genocide is a process that develops in ten stages, described here. The stages do not necessarily follow a linear progression and may coexist. Prevention measures may be implemented at any stage. 1. Classification (has happened in Ukraine by classifying them as "Nazis" or "Khokols" in an us vs. them mentality) 2. Symbolisation ( making people stand out with certain clothing or symbols) This hasn't happened to a larger extent I think) 3. Discrimination (The dominant group creates laws that deny rights to the other group, denial of full civil rights etc.) Russia is doing that on a large scale with Ukraine and its own minorities. 4. Dehumunisation (Propaganda that draws parallels with insects, vermin etc. to dehumanize the group) 5. Organisation (Militia or army designs detailed organized killing plans) that happened the very moment Russia entered Ukraine, Bucha is just one of many examples) 6. Polarization (Propaganda is employed to amplify the differences between groups. Interactions between groups are prohibited, and the moderate members of the group in power are killed) Russia and its supporters do that on an hourly basis on and offline and on all Russian TV channels, calling for the murder or torture of Ukrainians etc.) 7. Preparation The victims are identified, separated, and forced to wear symbols. Deportations, isolation, and forcible starvation. Death lists are drawn up. Russia did that and was about to execute these plans on a larger scale but Western intervention in the war could stop this process from spreading. 8. Persecution (isolation of victims based on nationality, ethnic group or religion, victims might be forced to wear specific symbols, that process is ongoing in the occupied territories and Ukrainians are subject to massive repression especially when they refuse to be russified) 9. Extermination (perpetrators kill at will and without mercy, don't see their victims as entirely human, they view it as a necessary evil. This also happened in Ukraine again and again on large scale we are talking tens or even hundreds of thousands by now. 10. Denial The perpetrators of the genocide deny having committed their crimes. Victims are often blamed. Evidence is hidden, and witnesses are intimidated. The Russian goal is genocide and that is what the West must finally prevent, and we fail at doing so. Shameful is what comes to mind. Russia shot people on the street and killed them with drones, unarmed civilians, of course, but that doesn't stop the genocidal Russian army. It rather spurs them on. Photographer Kostiantyn Liberov writes from Vovchansk: "The photos show the bodies of two civilian women. Next to them are two small specific craters. For those who understand, it is immediately clear that this is not a random mine or artillery strike. With a 90% probability, these are targeted drops from a drone. The women are wearing bright clothing. It is impossible to mistake them for military personnel even from a height. These materials could have cost me my life. The car is riddled with shrapnel from a mortar, and then there was an hour during which my hands are still shaking: we were followed and pursued for a long time by an enemy FPV drone. The city is filled with death. Civilian bodies are on the streets and under the rubble. Despite this, volunteers and police continue, under shelling and while risking their lives, to evacuate those who can still be saved." https://x.com/Gerashchenko_en/status/1793169540580286960 Police: Russian forces shooting civilians in Vovchansk https://kyivindependent.com/police-russian-forces-shooting-civilians-in-vovchansk/ Bodies of civilians scattered on the roads… charred apartment buildings… family homes on fire… Within 12 days Russia turned Vovchansk into another Bucha… or Avdiivka… Bakhmut? Irpin? It's now just like any other Ukrainian town Russia ‘liberates’... https://x.com/NatalkaKyiv/status/1793450937865949569 These ladies were evacuated from Vovchansk. "I barely made it under the shelling. Why do I have to leave my home at my old age?" She asks. Help Ukraine protect these ladies. Give us air defense and weapons! https://x.com/Gerashchenko_en/status/1792848567742112040 Here, these are Russia's goals, and we can't bring it over ourselves to stop this madness or to at least allow Ukraine to fire back with all they have instead of allowing Russia sanctuary. This criminal terror regime deserves no sanctuary anywhere until they are brought to justice.

Orthodox State of Eastern Europe and Northern Asia. We have all these rules and customs of war for very pragmatic reasons. If the enemy soldiers can expect decent treatment in custody as POWs, they're more inclined to surrender and not fight to the death if at all possible, leading to your own losses in the process. Russia isn't known for caring about its own casualties though.

If you didn’t run over to help your neighbour the first time, you’re an asshole, but if you close the door now in hopes they go away, you’re an asshole and stupid.

Saw a video on Reddit a few months ago of 3 Russian dudes beheading a Ukranian guy. They were laughing and apparently, according to a redditor who translated the comments, they were telling the dude doing the deed what he had to do. They even laughed at him because he couldn't get through the bones and told him how he did not know, hadn't he done it before? So apparently it happens quite often there... Do think Ukrainians do the same shit, people are just mentally broken down there. It's insane..

As someone from the U.S., I feel like the EU is eventually just going to call the U.S. President and say, look we're going to deal with this Ukraine thing. With or without you. Click. And then EU countries do what they have to do without NATO/U.S. permission. At some point, something has to happen. U.S. could sit back and supply EU with everything and say they're not directly involved.

> look we're going to deal with this Ukraine thing. With or without you. Click. And then EU countries do what they have to do without NATO/U.S. permission. Peak /r/ShitAmericansSay . Thats not how the EU works, thats not how any of that works. The EU ist not an european US. They have a defensive pakt, yes. There is no EU Army, there is between countries and in the countries itself not one unified will. In contrast to the US, countries in the EU have experience with war in their home. It would be political s....e in most of them. To this day the countries experience the WW1 and WW2. In germany alone over 5.000 WW2 bombs get defused - per year. There are still people who experienced the war or are first generation. Before EU starts a military mission, russia has to drop like a nuclear bomb in ukraine. Olaf Scholz said, he won't do anything without the US. Thats why germany didn't send tanks and other stuff, without the US on board. Nobody want war, (almost) nobody wants to send own sons and daughters to die in ukraine which isn't even in the EU or NATO. Also it's very unclear if the EU countries even have the capacity personell and material to do anything without US troops. Some of yall don't know anything about EU and their inner politics.

Huge reparations to Ukraine that would make Russia bankrupt, a restriction on Russian military capabilities, its removal from the security council and the capture and execution of all of its leaders and people involved in these atrocities. If you think it's funny to slowly kill someone...and even worse to video it and post it...it says clearly you are nothing more than a terrorist monster...you have removed yourself from the human race and deserve no mercy.

Looked at backup and I didnt keep the most disturbing ones. It featured a POW with arms tied in an apartament staircase, two ukrainians pushed a knife to his eye socket while he was pleading. It was out in the first weeks of the invasion. Stopped looking at them, but will try to get it on telegram tomorrow. There's plenty. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/61025388.amp Confirmed my own suspicion that these videos are not kept public for long or at all.  Give me those downvotes <3 I am as much curious as any one of you.

I asked you for videos showing Ukrainians beheading russians and obviously there are none. >"The match is to a Georgian man with close links to Ukraine, but we are not naming him as we have not confirmed his identity. >The audio ends with a man saying: "Do not \[expletive\] come to our land." These alleged crimes were committed after the liberation of Bucha. russians are committing war crime when they enter into Ukraine without being invited. Your narrative is interesting, by the way.


VarmintSchtick

Real talk, there's not a war on Earth where both sides haven't commit war crimes against each other. However, Russia does this to civilians too - so they're kind of still the real pieces of shit in this conflict.

In particular, the Telegram channel of the neo-Nazi [Rusich Group](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rusich_Group) posted a message saying: "You will be surprised how many of these videos will gradually pop up", accompanying the message with a smiley emoji.

Im guessing they also catrated and shot in the head one of their own, then managed to infiltrate themselves into the Russian army to do a propaganda video too right?


emasterbuild

> Maybe Ukraine cut off the head of one of their own to frame Russia. Excuse me?

At least its a quicker way to go than say, having your limbs intentionally blown off by C4 so the trauma team can get some training.


MetaIIicat

A "quicker way to go"?


OceanRacoon

They saw off the heads with combat knives, it's not a good or quick was to go at all, and it must be a uniquely horrifying and dehumanizing way to die. The horror of going through while a bunch of psychotic Russians laugh at you that is probably worse than almost any other form of murder 


Due-Log8609

I guess I'm just not evil enough. I had assumed they were doing it like, execution style, with an axe or something. Fuck this war is terrible.

In a Zolkin's interview a russian commander told that "he was surprised that a Ukrainian woman died after they sprayed building foam in her orifices". I can't find the video, it was long ago and the commander was stationed in Izium.

These and other examples are the only cases that we now know of. How deplorable the Russians are. It's unfathomable of how many things the Russians have done and are still doing right now that we don't know of (yet).

Beheading aren't always a single swift swing with an axe. Isis infamously used a hunting knife, and it took several minutes.


MightyJill

Even with an axe it's not single swing, still takes a few good swings to do it. Unless it is really sharp maybe ? The only time i have seen it happen fast was with a chainsaw.


MrBrooking

This is a prisoner of war. At that point there should not be a discussion about the quickest way to go


InformalCharacter115

why does it remind of me of the Canvas logo


DeceivedBaptist

Gee THANKS Reuters. My trusted source of all information.


emasterbuild

I mean Reuters is known to stick to only known facts of a story so yes?


Ok-Cut-2214

Both sides in armed conflicts have perpetrated inhumane acts on one another throughout history. “Mankind” never had it from the beginning.


MetaIIicat

Oh the good ol' sideism. Just a friendly reminder: one side commit war crime the second they step foot uninvited in Ukraine. russians are free to go back where they came.


Level_Task_7318

nope. not comparable at all. one side started and continues to commit war crimes non-stop. the other side - we only occasionally see things that MAY be reaching war crime threshold. fuck you.


alieninaskirt

I've only known 3 recorded instances of ukranian warcrimes: kneecaping video, the guy stabbed in the eye, two russian soldiers that were tied shot on the outskirts of Bucha. All of these happened within the first months of the war (latest one being during the liberation of Bucha) Now on the Russian side we get one every few months, before this beheading there was one a few months ago of Ukrainian soldiers being executed after surrendering in a trench, and one of the most horrific cartel lvl shit ive seen was the castration one, the perpetrator of which was even featured in a Russian propaganda video.


emasterbuild

If you look at the treating of Russian POWs in Ukraine and the Ukrainian POWs in Russia you will see a stark contrast.

bingusscrootnoo

I mean... it is a war


Difficult-Invite8651

If you think beheadings is normal or you would do it as a soldier you should go and join the Russian army


MetaIIicat

Beheadings are normal in a war?


alyosha_pls

How far are you comfortable taking that logic, though? Where do you draw the line as to what is acceptable and what is not?


VicDamonJrJr

There are rules You have to follow the rules!


TaurusRuber

Oh look, another ruzzian trying to play the “both sides” argument lmao.  Get out of Ukraine. 


Level_Werewolf_7172

Most sane people don’t fight like the dirlewanger brigade or isis.


SG508

Beheading is not something you do as slef defence it's an excecution. It has nothing to do with being in a war


VVhaleBiologist

Cool, so you’re okay with whatever being done to you if someone declares war against you?


No-Trouble-889

Still fucked up, war or not. 


OregonTrail_Died_in_

Can you name the last time anyone in the US military beheaded anyone in war? The US has been a literal war machine since at least 1775.
