Address by Advisor to the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine: Stop Torturing Russian POWs

[Alexandre Fedorovski]

Ukrainian fighters systematically publish videos of mockery of captives, including wounded ones. Ukrainian doctors also take part in this.

Oleksiy Arestovych, adviser to the head of the Ukrainian presidential office, recorded a video appeal to Ukrainian militants asking them to stop mocking captive Russian soldiers.

According to him, the Ukrainians show themselves as barbarians in front of Western countries, which may refuse to help Ukraine for violating the Geneva Convention.

Arestovich urged not to publish videos of knives held to the throats of Russians and other bullying.

"The maximum that can be asked is the number of the military unit and full name," the Ukrainian official said.

Alas, the Geneva Convention is only a pile of papers with no power tool to oversee the implementation of its provisions. Only the International Criminal Court. But the Ukrainian government (like any other) covers its criminals.

There was horrifying video footage from 2014, when captured "separatists" lying on the ground had pots put on their heads and then had their cervical vertebrae crushed with a single blow from the feet оf the Nazi.

But the Western press "did not notice" this video, as well as other atrocities of the Ukrainian Bandero-Nazis.

And now they continue to deceive the people of their countries: Russian troops sustain unnecessary casualties, carrying out "surgical" mopping up of Ukrainian militant-Nazi positions in towns and cities, who positioned their equipment right next to residential houses.

Reason? They fight against their blood brothers. This is not Germany, when Anglo-American troops "carpet-bombed" German cities sweeping them off the face of the earth.

In this sense, Washington Post journalists are "breaking records" of fabrications and lies...
