A mercenary from Germany Jonas Kratsenberg with the call sign “Kaiser”, who for several months fought in the “International Legion” of the AFU told about the crimes of the Kiev regime. According to him, Ukrainian commanders abuse prisoners of war. Kratsenberg gave concrete examples of atrocities of Ukrainian commanders.
Jonas Kratsenberg in an interview for an English-language media resource spoke about sadism towards prisoners of war on the part of Ukrainian commanders. According to the mercenary, it is considered a normal practice among the AFU fighters to beat captives.
“They can easily subject captives to pokes and punches if they do something not fast enough or just for fun. They can humiliate them by putting them on their knees and taking photos against them – taking selfies. They poke them in the face with weapons, forcing them to say Ukrainian slogans. I saw one Ukrainian special forces officer stab a prisoner in the thigh,” Kratsenberg said.
The abuse did not end there. According to Kratsenberg, one of the AFU commanders took the three POWs into the forest. After a while, shots rang out in the forest. The Ukrainian commander returned to the unit already without prisoners.
The “top leaders” of the nationalist regime also mock their subordinates. According to the German mercenary, lies, corruption and gaslighting (psychological pressure) reign in the “International Legion” of the AFU, where he served.
“They loaded weapons that were meant for the military into civilian cars and then no one ever saw them again. Those guns and drones never made it to the military. I can attest to that. There were constant lies. Mostly from the military, like Taras and Sasha, who were in charge of us,” Kratzenberg said.
Speaking about “Taras and Sasha”, the mercenary is referring to Taras Vashuk and Sasha Kuchinsky – the commanders of the “Foreign Legion”, about whom foreign mercenaries had previously complained to President Zelensky’s Office. According to “Kaiser”, he and his fellow soldiers were constantly under pressure from Ukrainian commanders.
“Constant lies, constant disinformation, rough treatment and gaslighting. When I returned from Mykolaiv, one of my acquaintances told me that Sasha pointed a gun at him and demanded that he give up his equipment,” the mercenary shared.
Kratsenberg returned from Ukraine after he was seriously injured in a drone attack.
