Wagner Group Accused of Beheading Ukrainian Servicemen
Newsweek ^ | April 11, 2023 | KAITLIN LEWIS

According to Monday's assessment from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), members of the Wagner Group have reportedly committed war crimes in the battle for the eastern Ukrainian city, according to videos posted by Russian social media users "purportedly showing the remains of a head belonging to a Ukrainian serviceman on a spike at an unspecified area in Bakhmut." "Social media users recalled similar instances of skulls mounted on spikes in Popasna, Luhansk Oblast, where Wagner troops operated over spring-summer of 2022," the assessment read.

Nothing to see here, just the “defenders of Christianity” hard at work.

War is Hell. No Good Guys here! Give Peace a chance! No more bullets for Zelenskyy —To the Tables now and lets talk this out. Wagner people are the worst dregs of society—what do you expect from them? Just ne glad they haven’t captured any women Ukraine soldiers— yet! To Ruzzians, Rules of war are just suggestions to follow when cameras are around (The same can be said of Ukraine).

Flip the sides, to many videos self posted that show this behavior and worse. Not appropriate for FR, but they are out there.

We should pick at random when we believe anything we see put out. Don’t question anything. Those Serbs were a bunch of murdering savages.

I heard it was a well-produced video, which makes sense, given the Entertainment background of Zelensky and his staff.

Strange how these old videos ( based on seasonal folkage) come out on Ukrainian telegram channels just as they face a humiliating bloody fruitless butt-kicking by Wagner

First, Ukraine actually even took back territory in Bakhmut just a day ago, and Russia has officially run out of time to take wht they’ve been fighting for for the past 6 months as Ukraine’s offensive is about to begin.

Secondly, Wagner is notorious for these types of execution videos, beginning in Syria where they did it to a civilian for no good reason, smashing him with a sledge hammer on his fingers, hands and feet, before cutting off his head with a knife.

Contrary to what the pathetic FR Putinists brigades state, this is very much a Russian phenomena. No other nation state, other than probably the Chinese to their prisoners like the Uyghers, engage in this style of mass torture and murder.

Stuff like this usually results in combatants fighting even harder because they know no one is taking prisoners.

We blew up the Nord Stream pipelines. That is a war crime.

The Ukrainians have used civilians as human shields, shelled a nuclear power plant and targeted civilians in Donetsk.

What's amusing is that anyone takes any claims about this war from the Biden regime or Ukraine serious. We're the evil empire in this proxy war.

Yes. Terrorism is strategically stupid.

A reason Uke channels make and release these videos
Timing is always optimal
Timely now that so many Ukes in Bakhmut are being ordered to stand and fight to the death with no surrender

You're stupid enough to believe Russia blew up their own pipeline? Only imbecile would believe that, especially in light of the detailed report by Seymour Hersh detailing how we blew it up.

Rent a brain.
