An ominous development for anyone who isn’t blood thirsty, regardless of what side you take has occurred. Drone video shows a Ukrainian soldier shoot a wounded Russian instead of taking him POW. The leader of Wagner has announced in retaliation his forces will no longer take POWs in Bakhmut.

Clearly another escalation in this bloody war.

My 2c is it’s a little unclear of the motive of the Uke soldier. He might have intended murder or he might have been overly nervous and thought the Russ was going for a weapon (he may have been digging out his medical kit). This sort of thing will certainly cause the Ukes to retaliate and thence back to the Russ.

Video of the killing is is so short and edited it’s hard to tell either way.

“”Drone video shows a Ukrainian soldier shoot a wounded Russian instead of taking him POW. The leader of Wagner has announced in retaliation his forces will no longer take POWs in Bakhmut.””

That is absolute bull.

Here is the 86 seconds of that fight and there is no prisoner surrendering, they are engaged in a fight in the trenches.

Well now that the entire video is unedited it’s more, clear. As I said before from the highly edited version I couldn’t tell.

Just going off the video I had as the only source.

Why would your source give a fake description and not show the actual video?

Both side are guilty

One side is responsible for a lot more. Russia invaded Ukraine, is committing genocide in Ukraine, bombing civilians and their homes, forcefully deporting children, torturing and raping civilians, annexing land that isn’t theirs, beheading or dismembering Ukrainian soldiers, shooting POW's…. but sure, both sides have conducted war crimes

He is your source for why Wagner is going to murder prisoners, you posted the thread, and I assumed you had a reason for choosing him.

To: JoSixChip; anyone

Apparently this video is NOT the main evidence. Supposedly the Wagner commander has an AUDIO recording of the 2 Ukrainian soldiers planning to each other on some sort of communications to take no prisoners.

LOL I’m only the messenger here don’t demand I produce evidence or explain why the story was written this way or where the Audio is:

Your claim is false, but you are defending this fakery on this thread about Russian forces taking no one alive, which makes a point.

I've seen the whole video. The Russian is trying to hide, not surrender, so no foul by the Ukrainians.

The other explanation I've heard for Prigozhin's "no prisoners" order is that the Ukrainians are mining buildings with remote detonators as they slowly retreat in Bakhmut. When their guys are all out, and the Russians inside, they blow the building.

He blew the Russian to pieces with a hand grenade after he was already dead. But yes, more bloodshed and killing for sure.

Well yes that intent is clear. What I meant was the motive to protect himself and fight honorably because he thought the Russ was going for a gun/weapon? Or did he know the Russ wanted surrender and just wanted to massacre him?

The original video certainly didn’t make that clear. While the 2nd video was longer and more detailed the Russ decided to fight in a very odd way. Simply sit in his hole and not try to throw a grenade, pull out a rifle etc. Just sit there after the grenade went off and maybe..possibly reach for something when the Uke stuck the assault rifle in his face.

IMO I’m still unsure of what exactly happened (or why) after watching both videos.

“No prisoners order”

Exhibit A at the war crimes trial.

There is no way back for Prigozhin.
