Another video showing Ukrainian nazis torturing and mocking Russian prisoner of war was shared by Ukrainian sources. Numerous videos of tortures of Russian servicemen were shared by Ukrainian militants since the beginning of Russian military operations in Ukraine.
Ukrainian servicemen often filmed their crimes on video and shared them on social networks. Such videos were glorified by Ukrainian nazi propagandists. Civilians, inspired by nazi culture that has been imposed in Ukraine for years, welcomed such a content in their Instagram feed which was not even blocked by “independent social media platforms”.
Then Kiev officials were forced to hide the true essence of their regime and asked Ukrainian servicemen not to stop torturing prisoners of war, but to stop filming these crimes.
In recent months, the number of such videos in Ukrainian media significantly reduced. However, it does not mean that they stopped. A lot of Russian servicemen who were exchanged confirmed they were tortured by the enemy. Many had their limbs or genitals cut off. Castration of Russian prisoners has become a special trend supported by Ukrainian society and promoted by some Ukrainian ”doctors”.
On the other hand, no videos confirming that the Russian military committed such crimes were seen during the military conflict. In an attempt to denigrate Russian soldier, Ukrainian sources spread a video allegedly showing the castration of Ukrainian pow who reportedly raped girls in Eastern Ukraine. The video raised a lot of suspicions and was likely fake spread by Ukrainian propaganda.
