A horrific video posted online on Thursday appears to show a Ukrainian prisoner of war being castrated by his Russian captors.
While Yahoo News cannot independently verify the authenticity of the video, the footage, which was initially posted on a pro-Russian Telegram page before spreading rapidly on social media, showed what appears to be a Russian soldier or mercenary wearing a distinctive black fringed hat, mutilating a man who appears to be a captured Ukrainian soldier.
he victim in the video wears Ukrainian-style camouflage fatigues and is shown gagged, his hands tied behind his back. He lies helpless on the floor, as the man in a Russian uniform, which features a “Z” patch, uses a box cutter to cut off his clothes and then appears to castrate him while shouting degrading insults in Russian. At least two other men who appear to be Russian soldiers can be seen in the video.
While it is unclear when the video was filmed, what appears to be the same man wearing the black fringed hat also appeared in a June broadcast by the Russian state-backed media outlet RT. In that clip, the apparent soldier can be seen carrying a Dragunov sniper rifle as he walks around the Azot chemical plant in the city of Severodonetsk after the Ukrainian withdrawal from the city. In a post that was published on the RIA Novosti Telegram channel, the Russian news agency identified the man as part of the Chechen “Akhmat” battalion of the Russian army.

Thank you very much for this post. The degree of propaganda that comes to us is unprecedented, and the Daily Mail leads the league in dispensing it. I’d love for someone to do a deep dive into that organization and expose their connection to government and the MI5, MI6.
Even the lies of the Soviets couldn’t hold a candle to the the LIES that our own governments, through our media, are fostering on us.
Vaccines, anyone? Don’t forget your boosters!!!
To say we’ve traded places with the Soviet media is an INSULT to Stalin/Khrushchev/Brezhnev, as their media was never THIS BAD.
You know, I don't know if it's fake news or not.
But I know something that our leaders, our narrative writers, and a lot if our people do not, and that is that war is bad. Very bad.
One of the reasons we keep losing is that we don't actually do war, not since 1945.
A great American war leader once wrote: "You cannot qualify war in harsher terms than I will. War is cruelty, and you cannot refine it...You might as well appeal against the thunder-storm as against these terrible hardships of war. They are inevitable... I want peace, and believe it can only be reached through union and war, and I will ever conduct war with a view to perfect and early success."
It's my opinion that war in Ukraine was NOT inevitable, and the cause of the war was Zelensky's failure to conciliate a more powerful neighbor, and further that his foolishness in this regard was caused by bloodthirsty neocons who run America's foreign policy...but reasonable people can differ about that.
But it is unreasonable to keep, in effect, appealing against the thunderstorm by publishing these atrocity stories.
If you want this war, or any war (Israel-Palestine is a good example), then someone must win and someone else must lose.
Deciding not to win is deciding to lose (Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, etc, etc).
I assume he has not “gone all over the world begging for weapons of mass destruction”. Why don’t give me a link? If these articles exist I assume they have zero verifiable sources - just like those Russia collusion articles. IOW they are written for people with low IQ’s.
Soros is not Zelensky’s puppet master. Totally idiotic. The Russians are killing thousands of people including children and you like it because you think they’re fighting Soros I guess. What a nutjob.
It’s very hard to understand these posters.
Russia is putting Ukrainians under inhuman torture and these posters think this is not enough for the Ukrainians to decide to fight them. For some reason they say Ukrainians need to be deceived by Soros and Klaus Something to fight.
How’s that Turd Dough working out for you ?
Why don’t you go ask pretty much any FReeper how you trolls pimping for Soros goes over here ? Do it.

I’m shocked, shocked, that Ukrainians would post false propaganda.
Shocked.
Really.
He has done precisely that, and I’m not going to go fetch articles for you that are readily apparent to anyone with basic reading skills. The rest of your post is just debunked lies, typical. You’re just a Sorosbot troll.
Nummy-yummy Sorosbot kool-aid.
War is hell?
Nice attempt to avoid my comment. Typical.
Go on over there, talk to them like you’ve spoken to me with your filthy mouth and even filthier mind. Berate the 99.99% of FR that objects to you hypocritical warmongers spewing the globalist Sorosbot line. Do it.
The 4chan anonymous conversations do not prove anything
speculations are not facts
The Buryat with the fringed hat (Vitaly Aroshanov) wasn’t the castrator. But he was the squad leader of his team members (Buryats, Chechens) that castrated the POW and then shot him and desecrated the rest of his body.

This is two levels up from #FAKENEWS.
Always on the side of Putin, the Kadorovite Chechens and the Buryat savages. Sad.
Does anyone believe this? Even if it happened does anyone believe for one second that it would be filmed OR released on the internet in any way shape or form?
It’s PROPAGANDA.
It was posted on the Russian Telegram channels.
