Russian troops execute a Ukrainian POW with a sword in barbaric display

Gruesome footage showing a Ukrainian prisoner of war killed with a sword by Russian forces has surfaced on social media on Tuesday. The horrific medieval-style execution was condemned by Ukraine’s Ombudsman, Dmytro Lubinets. He confirmed the authenticity of the shocking video, branding it another horrific war crime committed by Russia.
In the footage, the Ukrainian soldier can be seen with his hands bound by duct tape as the Russian captors drive a sword, inscribed with the words “For Kursk,” into his body.
Lubinets called the killing a blatant violation of the Geneva Convention, arguing, “The level of barbarism and bloodlust is unfathomable. How much longer will the world watch as Russia flagrantly disregards every norm and law?”
He said he had approached the International Committee of the Red Cross and the United Nations, urging them to document this latest atrocity as yet another gross violation of human rights by Russian forces.
Intended to demoralize Ukrainians, the brutal act can only have the opposite effect as it will strengthen the nation’s resolve in its fight against the aggressor, added Labunets.
A kamikaze drone flies directly toward an armored personnel carrier. But instead of penetrating the hull, it explodes on a steel screen. The crew survives. This is the new reality for Ukrainian forces, who have received enhanced protection thanks to the Metinvest project within “Steel Front of Rinat Akhmetov”.
To commemorate the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion, “Bukvy” has compiled data on the largest donors supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among them there are charitable foundations and businesses. The list includes, in particular, foundations that provide assistance exclusively from their own resources, without fundraising (such as SCM by Rinat Akhmetov, Epicenter, etc.).
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
Notorious supporter of the concept “in order for a cow to eat less and give more milk, it needs to be fed less and milked more” “Servant of the People” Danylo Hetmantsev, under the guise of “business requirements”, registered a draft law on the collection of VAT on all foreign purchases, regardless of their value. In other words, every Ukrainian, buying goods of any value and purpose abroad, when sending them to Ukraine, will have to pay an additional fifth part, or 20% of the cost of the goods.
