Two Russian men who claim to be former Wagner Group commanders have told a human rights activist that they killed children and civilians during their time in Ukraine.
The claims were made in video interviews with Gulagu.net, a human rights organization targeting corruption and torture in Russia.
In the video interviews posted online, former Russian convicts Azamat Uldarov and Alexey Savichev – who were both pardoned by Russian presidential decrees last year, according to Gulagu.net – describe their actions in Ukraine, during Russia’s invasion.
CNN cannot independently verify their claims or identities in the videos but has obtained Russian penal documents showing they were released on presidential pardon in September and August of 2022.
Uldarov, who appears to have been drinking, details how he shot and killed a five- or six-year-old girl.
“(It was) a management decision. I wasn’t allowed to let anyone out alive, because my command was to kill anything in my way,” he said.
According to Gulagu.net, the testimonies were given to founder and Russian dissident Vladimir Osechkin over the span of a week. It said Uldarov and Savichev were in Russia when they spoke.

“I want Russia and other nations to know the truth. I don’t want war and bloodshed. You see I’m holding a cigarette in this hand. I followed orders with this hand and killed children,” Uldarov said, describing his motivation for the interview...
Uldarov said in the eastern Ukrainian cities of Soledar and Bakhmut – which have seen some of the fiercest fighting – Wagner mercenaries “were given the command to annihilate everyone.”
At one point in the interview, Savichev described how they “got the order to execute any men who were 15 years or older.”

Uke int prop narrative to push war.
Zeeper: “Let’s post it anyway!”
Right, because Russia arrests US journalists as spies.
—> Right, because Russia arrests US journalists as spies.
Zeeper dude: “it still has to be true, even if we can’t prove it! I know, it’s because Russia is evil, so of course it’s true,”
“CNN cannot independently verify their claims or identities in the videos...”
Exactly, and don’t forget that 17 ‘Intelligence Agencies’ claimed that Trump colluded with Russia, and 51 ‘Former Intelligence Officers’ claimed that Hunter’s laptop was “Russian Disinformation”.
If people of that stature would LIE to push their agenda, why wouldn’t people no one ever heard of also LIE to push their agenda?
As Ukraine loses we must expect more of this sort of thing. I do not blame them—all is fare in love and war. I might do the same in their case. Ukraine must get US Boots, lots of them, on the ground soon. Some say the Brits set up the Lusitania to be sunk, others that FDR sent out the fleet to Pearl Harbor to be hit, What is true? All I can guess is that in the coming days more awful “war Crimes” will fill the internet and newspapers. If I was Zelenskyy I would make something really horrible happen and blame it on Russians—must be terrible, must kill Americans and Brits, Make sure it can not be traced to Ukraine! Blow up the embassy maybe? We shall see.
50 former and present CIA analysts have confirmed it!
You don’t have any proof that this is not true. It looks true to me. Did you even look? Nahhhhhh...
You Putinistas have a one track mind. BTW your hero Vlad had been putting his doubles out in public. Some say he has at least two look-a-likes making public appearances for him. While he kicks back to get his Chemo drips for cancer.
The shills around here will still be shilling when the mass graves get uncovered after the war is over.
Let's add your hallucinating post to...
-Putin is dying of cancer
-Russia is running out of bullets and missiles
-Ukraine is winning the war
-Hunter's laptop is Russian disinformation
-Russia is losing a general a week in the war
Get the picture?
This is simply more of your propaganda, except this time, you drag in the kids.
Way to go, tlozo -- or is it Brandon?
Defending CNN? Really? 🙄
pure evil
May putin/russia be held accountable
“Well, you are one of those crazy, Russian propagandists that still denies Russian executions of civilians in Bucha, so no amount of evidence will ever convince you.”
We point it that there were no reports for THREE DAYS after the Russians left Bucha, not one report. Lots of things can happen during those THREE DAYS, such as the Ukrainian military deciding to ‘teach those Russia collaborators a lesson’ (with collaboration being defined by Ukraine as talking to any of the Russian occupiers).
...and if it was Ukraine that committed the crimes (which is the likely case), does ANYONE HERE think that the Neocons would call it out, since that would mean the end of their quest to ‘Weaken Russia’?
CNN reported it, CNN is known for fake news and propoganda. Therefore I consider it nothing but lies and war propoganda unless I were to actually witness the supposed act. How can anyone believe anything CNN reports?

Zeeper Dude: [spits on screen, changing subject] “It’s all about Putin!!”
“Putin’s version of the ‘dirty dozen’.”
Good comparison, actually.
CNN - Deep State Affiliated Media.
