A Danish soldier who volunteered to fight alongside the Ukrainian armed forces has made unverified claims that Ukrainian soldiers have been executing Russian prisoners of war.
The Dane, who uses the pseudonym Jonas, has alleged that Ukrainian soldiers have killed Russian prisoners of war during the war, saying: “I have heard of one successful prisoner exchange, and that’s it,” and adding: “People are being killed.”
Said to be a marksman, Jonas travelled to Ukraine to volunteer to fight alongside the Ukrainian armed forces and told state-owned Danish broadcaster TV2 he has also killed Russian soldiers — but never any captured prisoners.
He told the broadcaster of an 18-year-old Russian prisoner of war who told him he had worked as a compute programmer in Russia prior to the war and did not want to be in Ukraine. According to Jonas, the teen was buried the next day after being killed.
TV2 admitted that they had no way to confirm whether or not the Danish volunteer’s claims were accurate but still cited prior claims of similar behaviour by the Ukrainian armed forces.
Last month the official Facebook page of the Command of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine implied that surrendering Russian gunners would be executed, which in itself would be a war crime.
“From now on, there will be no more captured Russian artillerymen. No mercy, no ‘please do not kill, I surrender’ will not pass,” the post stated, adding that such Russians would be “slaughtered like pigs.”
Unverified videos have emerged allegedly showing Ukrainian soldiers killing surrendered Russian soldiers, including one published this week allegedly showing a Ukrainian soldier shooting and killing a wounded Russian soldier near Kyiv.

Oh PLEASE, of course he’s lying - otherwise CNN wouldn’t be reporting that the Azov-controlled Ukrainian Army is the second coming of Mother Teresa.
That is war.
He may be telling the truth. I would be surprised if the Ukrainians did not respond to Russian brutality in kind.
I’m not surprised. Russian soldiers kill your family, you catch some and kill them. That’s the reality of war.
So what? The Russians started it. Life can be hard.
“Get off my lawn.”
“TV2 admitted that they had no way to confirm whether or not the Danish volunteer’s claims were accurate...”
But we’ll ‘report it’ anyway. *Rolleyes*
How I despise the ‘media’ in all of her guises.
It’s not a war crime if WE do it....
Bullsh!t.
And you are a chickenhawk coward.
“I’m not surprised. Russian soldiers kill your family, you catch some and kill them. That’s the reality of war.”
I would be shocked if they weren’t. It’s the way wars are fought in most of the world.
Unverified videos have emerged allegedly showing Ukrainian soldiers killing surrendered Russian soldiers, including one published this week allegedly showing a Ukrainian soldier shooting and killing a wounded Russian soldier near Kyiv.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba commented on the video, stating he was aware of it but had not seen it himself and that, in any case, the Ukrainian military “observes the rules of warfare. There might be isolated incidents of violations of these rules and they will definitely be investigated.”
Zelensky opened the prisons and hired Nazi street thugs to fight this war, should be no surprise they would engage in war crimes.
A good start. This is a war. Russians need to die.
Russia might declare war! OH, wait.....
They also had probably one on the best Waffen SS Divisions of the war.
Zero war crimes. Didn’t even execute captured Russian prisoners.
Heck of good fighters. Google them in Army Group North.
“they are despicable limp wristed race. Not worthy of respect.”
Thanks Marvin Stinson for supporting Ukraine and Zelensky.
“And you are a chickenhawk coward.”
Pretty strong words. The poster just said he was not surprised, and that if someone invades your home and kills your family, well, you kill them right back. He is right about it being the “reality of war.” I don’t like the idea of abusing POWs. But, if it was my family that had been killed, I can’t sit here and say for certain I wouldn’t exact some revenge. I hope I’m never in a position to have to make that decision.
