After a little more research, it seems the prisoners “paraded” were “Paramilitaries”, (Right Sector “irregulars”, Kolomoisky “privateer” troops, and National Guard), and supposedly not covered by the Geneva Convention.

This man here has been identified, at the link, as a member of Ukraine's 51st mechanized brigade:

After a little more research

So far as I can tell, you didn't perform any research.

Ukraine Today - I really like the video stream quality, it looks like a totally professional enterprise right from the start although it might be on a small budget.

I was talking about the guy on the left.
I have no idea about the rest, and I did say “Supposedly”.
Did you miss that part?

Again, this is what the Rebels on Twitter are claiming. It doesn’t mean it is true, anymore than the Kiev claim of someone being from the 51st is.

I let this pass earlier since I was quick to post the photograph. But how is it that the National Guard is a "paramilitary," when it is part of the Ukranian army? Furthermore, even battalion Azov, which is a volunteer battalion and accused of being "Nazi," (although, even that American patriot recently killed in Ukraine was a member of it, and was no Nazi) is itself a part of the National Guard and has trained Ukrainian officers working within it. Its formation was authorized by the Ukrainian government itself. As for "privateers," who are these people that you are referring to?
