Russian soldiers shared a video, exhibiting what appears to be the severed head of a Ukrainian serviceman.

Ukraine’s Prosecutor General’s Office is investigating 27 cases involving the execution of 54 Ukrainian Prisoners of war (POWs) by Russian forces since 2022. These incidents, which include instances of torture and inhumane treatment, are being treated as war crimes.

Ukrainian Commissioner for Human Rights Dmytro Lubinets reportedly reached out to the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross, citing this incident as another violation of international humanitarian law by Russian forces.

“Russians use these videos to intimidate and demoralize Ukrainians. However, this only strengthens us in our desire to bring everyone who commits such inhuman atrocities to inevitable responsibility,” Lubinets wrote.

18+ russians cut off the head of a Ukrainian soldier in the Kursk region.

The crime scene is the Kolotylivka checkpoint, Sumy Oblast, which border Russia’s Belgorod Oblast. Around 12 August, Ukrainian forces unsuccessfully attempted to break through the enemy, according to Deep State.

The 155th Separate Guards Marine Brigade of the Russian Pacific Fleet claimed responsibility for the act.

Other Russian executions of Ukrainian POWs

This development follows a recent incident where photos circulated online allegedly showing a Ukrainian prisoner of war with severed limbs and head. Ukrainian law enforcement agencies have initiated an investigation into the matter.

In May, Russian soldiers executed four unarmed Ukrainian prisoners of war in Zaporizhzhia Oblast. Ukrainian intelligence identified Russian officers responsible for the execution and linked them to the 58th Combined Arms Army of Russia.

In April, Russian forces executed three unarmed Ukrainian POWs, captured on video, which has sparked outrage and condemnation from Ukraine and international observers. Ukrainian authorities have identified the soldiers and are calling for accountability for these war crimes.

This was posted by a militant of a brigade (155th) notoriously known for its HUGE losses in the Vuhledar area which even kept in shock the russian military command (and when i say huge i mean even worse when compared to already devastatingly high losses of some other brigades , truly a failure). So a loser brigade with a horrible reputation that even russian military bloggers made fun of countless times.

Just a fake ´victory ´ which only displays the barbarianism of these losers and believe it , they will get what they deserve, as they always did before.

You can watch War Archive's video on the Battle of Vuhledar , you will see the brigade in 'action' on the map , they basically got completely wiped out countless times and are reponsible for the loss of hundreds of armor equipment , those being lost in stupid 'straightforward' attacks through the minefields.

They posted a different beheaded Ukrainian soldier earlier this week. And two weeks ago it was a beheaded and de-limbed Ukrainian soldier. That’s just in the last few weeks. 95% of Ukrainian POWs have experienced some sort of abuse or torture in Russian captivity. If the powers that be weren’t sufficiently moved by Bucha or Irpin, they definitely won’t give a shit about this. Russia has cut more heads off than ISIS, and yet most in the west don’t even know.

Desecration of war dead is indeed a war crime as well.
