it’s amazing to me that they would want this to become public
perhaps westerners are not the intended audience... or more disturbingly, maybe we are...
Russians are still the evil empire
(do I have to . . ./sarc)
Don’t tell Paul Craig Roberts. He thinks the Russians are heroic in their fight against US imperialism. /sarcasm
These are war crimes. I predict Givi will be dead within a year.
My good Russian friend translated that video. I think it’s important for non-Russuan speakers such as ourselves, understand what is teally going on. The separatists territories are being blown to smithereens by the Ukrainian army. Very sad situation. Here are my friends’s comments:
Very tame torture thing. And he (seperatist interrogator)actually talks to them, says to the colonel “How long have you been serving? 20 years? look around! you did this. Do you wanna see inside? we have a 1.5 month baby left without mother and father! Look me in the eyes! where are you from again? Zhitomir? Well, i promise you, everything you’ve done here on my land i’ll do in Zhitomir! how much do you get for this? Bind his eyes, before my nerves have given in”
Then he talks to then asks “Have you seen what you are doing to the city?” The guy says “Yes, now i’ve seen it” Givi says :” I’m letting you live so that you can tell others, we’ll exchange you for one of our guys”
The wounded guy then says that their command told them to go to the airport and get smth (300 he says, i dont know what it means), and when they got to the airport, it turned out they were send for an attack, that their command simply deceived them. He said it’s because whenever they were sent for an attack they all refused, so command used this different tactic. Then he says he isn’t gonna serve again, says it would have been better if they had just put him in prison for desertion. (of course he could have said it simply out of fear, but he seemed sincere)
You know, i think if they showed more pictures of dead soldiers like this they’d be fewer wars cos people would just refuse to do this shit! It’s unfair to the prisoners cos they are just cannon meat...but the real culprits are unattainable, so people leash out on whomever they can reach.... Poor soldiers :( BTW, that woman there says “don’t act like them, don’t let yourself turn into them” to the guy who i think said they should be shot.The crowd is saying things like “What are you killing us for? Boys, what are you doing!” and then “May Poroshenko’s hands fall off dry” Then the POWs are shown bombed building etc. Then people who are beating that guy are saying they should be hanged on the square.
And then i read the comments here under the article and see people saying “Russia is evil”....Ok then...
This video without subs is misleading. Actually my mom was angry when she heard how ukranian POWs got medical treatment and all that, she said they should all be killed, while my dad answered to that that they are drafted by force, what can they do.
