Amnesty International has said it has evidence pro-Russian rebels in eastern Ukraine summarily killed four Ukrainian soldiers in their captivity.

Witnesses told the group that one government soldier was shot at point-blank range by a separatist commander.

Amnesty also said it had videos of three others shown alive in captivity, then dead in a morgue with bullet wounds to their heads and upper bodies.

Remember, that’s what NATO soldiers can expect from Russian soldiers.

Men, fight, fight, fight! Don’t be captured. Escape! Evade!

You can not believe anything Amnesty International says or wrights. I had a first hand experience with them and they love to lie and twist facts.

BTW, I am not pro-Russian when it comes to the Ukraine.

Amnesty International has a reputation for committing acts that compromise their ostensible purpose.

Many unconfirmed reports of incidents like this, from both sides, over the last year.

But, it is well known that some of the Rebel units, like “Somali” and the Cossacks, don’t take prisoners from the Nazi and Kolomoiski Mercenary units, because of the alleged civilian atrocities they have committed.

“the Nazi and Kolomoiski Mercenary units”

There are NO Nazi units. And please don’t muddy the waters by pretending Right Sector is Nazi. It isn’t.

Oh please....
We’ve been through this a hundred times, and no amount of Orwellian language control BS about the Nazi’s not being Nazi’s is going to change the facts.

Just watch Vice News Ukrainian coverage. It is as pro-EU as possible, doing their best to show rebels as a bunch of Neo-stalinist hillbillies and the Ukrainian government as noble as possible but they still can’t hide the Nazi side of pro-government militias. Quite a hard to spin when you are surrounded by a bunch of scum who has Nazi symbols tattooed all around their bodies, eventually rising their arms to greet and saying ‘Sig Heil!’ to each other.

Russian Nazi’s are fighting against Ukraine.

Very few of the “rebels” are actually from Ukraine.

Yeah, their women are extremely gorgeous. Polish women are beautiful, but Ukrainians take it one notch higher and wear less!

Typical Russian behavior. They probably raped them as well in the name of anti-NAZIism. It’s one of their favorite canards that even their sympathizers here like to spread.

BBell, I believe they have a certain bias and it is for-Russia and against the western world. Du to their bias against Ukraine it is more likely that it is worse than they report as Amnesty International is carrying Russian water any chance they get.

Don’t get distracted by the noise. Amnesty either has the video(s), or it doesn’t. At worst, you have lefties going after lefties.

” the Nazi’s not being Nazi’s”

Except they’re not Nazis. They aren’t even “Nazi’s”.

Putin’s a pedophile, take that rumour and smoke it in your pipe. You certainly put up a good defense for a leader of a dumpster nation.

Just like Ted Cruz says, arm Ukraine. Oh, will the Putin supporters be supporting Cruz...

Instead of arming Egypt and Pakistan and Iraq, I think arming Ukraine makes a ton more sense.
