Horrifying footage appears to show Russian captors castrating a Ukrainian prisoner of war

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.

I’m sorry, when did you say you were leaving for the Ukraine to fight ? I didn’t see your answer. We’re all waiting.

I saw the video, the “parts” were blurred but it looked real. The source said the guy was a rapist.

Your whole “argument” is to keep invoking Soros at every turn.

Thank you for this post.

Just like the ganged-raped little Ukrainian boy.

You post Sorosbot talking points, propaganda, gaslighting and other globalist lies and you’re going to get rightly called out as one. You might as well be openly campaigning for Demonrat causes here: Pedo/Whore ‘24 !

That FR continues to allow this propagandizing trash Sorosbot here is appalling. A small group of these loons is spamming this warmongering crap all over the place.

__________

Read them carefully (I believe you already do so) and you identify the same locutions, the similar affect and the now-too-familiar relentless and non-empathic drive forward, no matter what has or will happened.

Some are bots. Some are iterations of the WEF talking points. All are committed to disruption. Even the eerie manner in which they all flip the sane arguments around into an elementary school playground taunt of “You are, too.” is choreographed.

They are here to disrupt and slide the conversation. They attack everyone w/the same ad hominems and go on to pollute the keywords, similarly. EVERY source, from every nation, in any language is *garbage* (sic). Precisely the same WEF, nudge, regime tactics of “Not a *recession*, but a *transition*”

Same with threads on C19/vaxxx.

I don’t even think they are paid, but if they are, they cannot fathom that they are being paid in devalued tokens simply _deemed_ currency.

They play to the lurkers. They pretend to present a faux consensus. When the principles slip and momentarily speak a truth, they are to the forefront to inform us we are incapable of hearing, interpreting or reading a scientific/economic professional report. Indeed, their handlers are busy scrubbing the internet as fast as they can to vanish any vestige of contrary information. Thing is, they contradict themselves so often, the entire process ends in self-whiplash.

Let them speak. They are such transparent puppets that it is simply a good mental exercise to engage. If we ban them, they win. Recall the mass bans back in the day that resulted in countless anti-FR forums, although none of them lasted for long. They simply *transitioned*.

I share the angst. Just keep on refuting. There are more of us.

Excellent post.

I’ve noticed that too. And you’re right; it’s the same horrid little group of creeps.

Same with threads on C19/vaxxx.

Yep. Same little bunch of lefty trolls.

I share the angst. Just keep on refuting. There are more of us.

It’s even fun to toy with ‘em and piss them off for a few minutes. But talking with liberals has always been so tiresome. It’s like talking to a room full of snotty kids. I don’t have a lot of patience for stupid people, but I’m going to keep calling them out when I see them polluting this site with their sewage.

Thanks for your post. Your observations of these trolls are dead on the money. They don’t even want to talk about the subject, just devolve to idiotic personal attacks. They “argue” just like leftists.

As you pointed out, we see similar garbage/propaganda/attacks in Covid threads or with ones over the legitimacy of the 2020 election. One particular troll hit on the latter and turned it into a 200-post personal attack, and that still wasn’t enough for the Mods to come down hard (they removed all of one post of his, which wasn’t even the most disgusting offering, and removed one of mine where I let him know what would happen if he kept insulting respected FReepers).

My reasoning for wanting them zotted is because I’ve been told privately that some people don’t even want to participate if they’re at risk for getting personally attacked by these trolls (and by that reckoning, it might diminish wanting to donate to FR - and it’s been behind in getting those donations recently). Of course, just by posting anything, you can get attacked, that’s the name of the game, but some folks would rather not participate in a discussion if all it means is getting swarmed by these trolls that seem to have carte blanche to attack without punishment.

Exactly. These punks don't talk like or conduct themselves like anyone remotely "Conservative." It's just down to "I know you are, but what am I ?" playground level nonsense. What's really amazing is that the age of some of these trolls appears to be at or around 65-75(!) What's the excuse to be behaving like this at such an age ? Do they model this behavior to their grandchildren ? No wonder we have the TikTok generation of perpetual toddlers.

There are no Soros talking points about Russia attacking Ukraine psychotic one.

You just label anything you don’t want someone to say about Russia attacking Ukraine a Soros talking point psychotic cretin.

For example your psychotic cretin brain regards the statement “Russia attacked Ukraine” as a Soros talking point.

Ah, name calling. Because you consistently lose the argument and repeat lies like the above, it's all you have.

"You just label anything you don’t want someone to say about Russia attacking Ukraine a Soros talking point psychotic cretin. For example your psychotic cretin brain regards the statement “Russia attacked Ukraine” as a Soros talking point."

'Psychotic cretin.' Another morsel from an intellectual giant repeating Soros talking points and personal attacks in lieu of anything coherent and logical.

Try writing something new instead of copying and pasting the same hackneyed drivel from your prior post. Just to be festive.

Your whole “argument” is to keep invoking Soros at every turn.

Well, Soros *did* come right out and say “We must stand with Ukraine” last February and then doubled down at the WEF conference at Davos in May. Seeing as how Ukraine is one of the largest money-laundering centers in the world, the Biden-Burisma connection only being a small part of that, then invoking Soros when people rabidly support Ukraine is pretty darn legitimate.

This is not my circus, not my monkeys and I, like any decent conservative, resent my money going to support the Biden Crime Family’s schemes in Ukraine.

The Zelensky-worshippers claim daily and repeatedly that Ukraine is handing Russia its ass. Fine. Then they don’t need *our* money, do they?

Ukraine is not "one of the largest money-laundering centers in the world". In any case labeling any statement about Russia's attack on Ukraine "Soros talking points" does not logically follow from that bogus claim even if it were true.

Well, Soros *did* come right out and say “We must stand with Ukraine” last February and then doubled down at the WEF conference at Davos in May.

What is that supposed to prove?

Yet another exchange in this other thread with one more Sorosbot troll, my post here and theirs below mine.

You see they never answer straight questions, just hurl insults.

You’re exceptionally disingenuous. It proves that you’re in absolute accord with the Soros/globalist agenda.

Ukraine is not "one of the largest money-laundering centers in the world".

It most certainly is and anybody with two properly firing brain cells knows that. Ukraine is incredibly corrupt.

Your buddies Soros and Biden & Son sure know it.
