The President of Ukraine, Volodimir Zelenski, asked the international community and its leaders on Tuesday, April 11, to act urgently with concrete measures to help Kiev defeat Russia, before the appearance of a video in which an alleged Russian soldier beheads a Ukrainian prisoner of war.
“It is something that no one in the world can ignore: the ease with which these beasts kill”Zelenski said, in a video recorded from the presidential office in which he affirms that it is not an isolated case, but rather “the new normal” that Russia would try to impose.
This is a video found on Russian social networks by the American television network CNN that supposedly shows the beheading of a Ukrainian soldier at the hands of a Russian soldier. The clip would have been recorded last summer and the Ukrainian secret service is trying to identify those who appear.
“It has happened before. It has happened before in Bucha. Thousands of times”Zelensky added, referring to the town around kyiv where hundreds of Ukrainian civilians were killed during the Russian occupation.
Zelensky asked “each one of the leaders” of the international community to react with measures that contribute to “defeating the terror” that, in his opinion, represents Russia.
“No one would understand that the leaders do not react,” added the Ukrainian president, who called for the creation of a special court to judge these actions by Russia.
The recording of the beheading has been published by the advisor to the Ukrainian presidential office Mikhailo Podoliak, along with a message in which he condemns Russia’s “lust for blood” and addresses those who ask Ukraine to exchange territories for peace.
“Perhaps the pacifists who cynically suggest ‘exchanging territories for peace’ will finally understand what ‘Russian world’ means,” Podoliak wrote, using the Russian expression for countries over which Moscow has exerted influence. .
More chilling murders
In the video, which has a blurred image, the throat can be seen and the victim’s screams of terror can be heard. CNN has also found a second most recent video in which alleged mercenaries from the Wagner group cut the throats of two Ukrainian soldiers killed in an explosion.
Ukraine’s Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Malyarhas asked not to broadcast the video of the beheading of the Ukrainian soldier or to speculate about the identity of the victim.
“Please, have respect for the relatives of the deceased, do not make public assumptions about his identity even if you are absolutely sure that you have recognized him,” he said via Telegram.
“Remember, the enemy wants to intimidate us, he wants to weaken us. But the only thing he will get is our rage and the total defeat of the occupiers, sentences for the murderers and a court for the aggressor state,” he added.
Malyar further said that since the video surfaced, Ukrainian services are studying it “frame by frame to identify the criminals.”
Russia responds
The head of the Wagner group of Russian mercenaries, Yevgeny PrigozhinFor his part, he denied that his units, which are currently fighting in Bakhmut, in the eastern region of Donetsk, are linked to the beheading of the Ukrainian soldier.
“vand that video. It is wrong when people are beheaded, but I did not find anywhere that this takes place in Bakhmut or that Wagner fighters participate in this execution“Prigozhin stated on his Telegram account.
