Over the past 9 months, the Office of the Ombudsman has received “dozens of videos” of public executions of Ukrainian military personnel by russian soldiers, Ukrainian Parliamentary Commissioner for Human Rights Dmytro Lubinets said in an interview with pravda.com.ua.
“This is cutting off the head, cutting off the genitals, cutting off the ears, nose, limbs, phalanges on the hands. Some [of the russian soldiers who carried out these executions – UT] were identified. And I know that one person suffered punishment”, he said.According to the ombudsman, russia publicly distributes videos of Ukrainian military executions to “maintain a degree of anti-Ukrainian hysteria” within russian society. Secondly, to convince his soldiers not to surrender to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Thirdly, to intimidate the Ukrainian military, which is preparing for a counteroffensive.
