Ukrainian armed forces soldiers shot dead a wounded Russian prisoner begging for help – NYT

Kaspar Grosse, a medic with an international volunteer unit in Ukraine, has told The New York Times in an interview with the US newspaper The New York Times how Ukrainian servicemen shot dead a wounded Russian prisoner asking for medical help.

 

According to Kaspar Grosse, the Russian soldier asked for help, trying to speak a mixture of Russian and English. As dusk fell, one of the Ukrainian soldiers “crawled over” and fired his weapon into the torso of the Russian soldier. The man initially fell down but was still breathing, at which point the second Ukrainian soldier shot him in the head.

“The other soldier fired – just shot him in the head,” he said.

The medic noted that this is not the only case of unjustified brutality in the war zone in Ukraine. He recalled how a member of the Chosen unit threw a grenade at a Russian soldier who raised his hands. The video with the moment of the massacre published by the Ukrainian military themselves, but the fragment with the surrender of the fighter to the Russian army decided to cut, explained Grosse.

Earlier, the deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council, Dmitriy Medvedev, said that Ukraine had actually become a terrorist state that freely kills its own and other people’s citizens.
