A video with brutal footage of the beheading of a Ukrainian POW has been posted online. A man with his hands tied, wearing a Ukrainian military uniform, lies on the ground while an executioner, whose face is concealed by a mask, cuts off his head. The POW screams “It hurts” several times as a voice in the frame hurries the killer to finish what he has started. After the beheading, the executioner shows the head of the Ukrainian POW to the camera, then shows his chevron, indicating his affiliation with the AFU. A voiceover orders the head to be put in a sack and sent to the commander.
The released video of the brutal murder of a Ukrainian POW is the epitome of Putin’s approved genocide of Ukrainians. It is not only a violation of the laws of war but also a confirmation of the genetically inherent pathological hatred towards Ukrainians that Russians have displayed throughout all the wars in which they have been involved. Executing a Ukrainian prisoner of war made no sense to the Russians – they simply killed him, wanting to vent their hatred for Ukraine. This was already embodied in the massacre in Bucha, and earlier executions of other Ukrainian POWs, who were shot and had their body parts cut off. On 12 April, CNN found another video of two Ukrainian POWs being executed: their heads cut off and their hands chopped off – the weather conditions in the footage suggest that the execution took place recently, tentatively in the Donetsk direction, and was carried out by Wagner Group mercenaries.
Such brutality is the norm for the Russian army. While the West ponders whether to give Ukraine all the weapons it needs or push Ukraine to negotiate with Russia, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are protecting Europe from Russia at the cost of their military lives, and Putin is preparing to shift hostilities to EU countries. This is by no means a far-fetched scenario: in 2021 no one believed that Russia would undertake a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and in 2023 the Russians are posting online footage of Ukrainians being murdered with medieval brutality.
The only way to defeat the evil nurtured by Putin in Russia is to defeat the Russian army and liberate all the Ukrainian territories occupied after 2014. Putin is preparing for a protracted war, and if he enters Europe, his army will begin a far bloodier genocide than in Ukraine. The only way to establish peace in Europe and a credible security system is to provide Ukraine with the necessary weapons to stop the destruction of the Ukrainian people initiated by Putin’s army.
