==Hostage taking and use of human shields==

''[[The Washington Post]]'' reported on March 28, 2022, that the Ukrainian military has “a responsibility under international law to remove their forces and equipment from civilian-populated areas, and if that is not possible, to move civilians out of those areas. If they don’t do that, that is a violation of the laws of war because what they are doing is they are putting civilians at risk. All that military equipment are legitimate targets. Andriy Kovalyov, a spokesman for the Ministry of Defense's [[Territorial Defense]], whose forces and equipment are positioned in Kyiv, scoffed at that reasoning. [[Alexei Arestovich]], senior adviser to Volodymyr Zelensky, told the ''Post'' that "international humanitarian laws or the laws of war don’t apply in this conflict." In response to written questions from ''The Post'', Arestovich said the country's military doctrine, approved by parliament, provides for the principle of “total defense.”<ref>https://archive.ph/wip/IUpIM</ref> Nonetheless, with full knowledge the government of Ukraine was committing war crimes and endangering the lives of civilians, the US and NATO continued to supply Ukraine with weapons.

''Tass'' reported that on May 5, 2022, Russian UN Ambassador Vasily Nebenzya presented to the Security Council video interviews of Ukrainian civilians who had managed to escape from the zone of hostilities.<ref>https://tass.com/politics/1448191</ref> Nebenzya stressed that the Ukrainian authorities and their Western sponsors were doing their utmost to prevent this sad truth from coming under the spotlight, and asked his foreign counterparts to pay due attention to the fact that the Ukrainian army repeatedly deployed heavy weapons to residential areas and used civilians as a human shield, which was a violation of international humanitarian law. Nebenzya stated, “We have enough reasons to believe that all these principles are systematically violated by the Ukrainian army and paramilitaries…There are many eye-witness accounts of how the Ukrainian army uses civilians as hostages and a human shield”.
On May 16, 2022, at 1:35 p.m. local time, the special services of Ukraine blew up a land mine reinforced with an overlay of up to 1 ton of ammonium nitrate in the area of Mazanovka in the Donetsk People's Republic, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reported. As a result of the explosion, a poisonous cloud of about 1 kilometer headed towards the town of Kramatorsk which is under the control of Kyiv's forces. The doctrine of “total defense” proclaimed by Kyiv officials as noted by ''The Washington Post'' on March 28, 2022, supposes that any sacrifice, including the lives, health and safety of a large number of civilians, is nothing if the AFU actions may harm Russian soldiers, even if just potentially.<ref>https://southfront.org/ukrainian-forces-staged-another-provocation-with-chemicals-on-donbass-frontlines-videos/</ref>
==Ukrainian mistreatment of POWs and war crimes==

The Kyiv government paraded captured Russian prisoners of war before television cameras and posted videos on [[social media]]. Some prisoners had injuries, were being interrogated, or were crying before the cameras.<ref>https://www.smh.com.au/world/europe/ukraine-s-videos-of-crying-russian-prisoners-could-violate-the-geneva-conventions-20220307-p5a2f7.html</ref> Amnesty International issued a statement reminding the fascist regime that Article 13 of the [[Geneva Convention]] states: “Prisoners of war must at all times be protected, particularly against acts of violence or intimidation and against insults and public curiosity”. According to the International Committee of the Red Cross, this includes circulating images on social media.<ref>https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2022/03/russia-ukraine-prisoners-of-war-must-be-protected-from-public-curiosity-under-geneva-convention/</ref>
[[File:Ukrainian nazis castrate Russians.PNG|left|300px|thumb|Former Commissioner for Ethno-National Policy in the Ukrainian Cabinet of Ministers instructed doctors to castrate Russian POWs "because they are cockroaches, not human."<ref>https://youtu.be/15UjP-H2CMA</ref>]]
Gennadiy Druzenko, a Fulbright-Kennan Institute Research Scholar at the Kennan Institute and fellow at the Wilson Center in [[Washington, D.C.]],<ref>https://www.wilsoncenter.org/person/gennadiy-druzenko</ref> head of the Center for Constitutional Design,<ref>https://ccd.group/en/team/gennadiy-druzenko/</ref> a former researcher at the Center for Constitutional Democracy at Indiana University, and served as the Government Commissioner for Ethno-National Policy in the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine<ref>[https://independent.academia.edu/GennadiyDruzenko/CurriculumVitae Curriculum Vitae Gennadiy Druzenko.] independent.academia.edu</ref> who now operates a war-zone mobile hospital in eastern Ukraine told a Ukrainian Channel 24 TV interviewer that he had instructed his doctors to castrate captured Russian POWs. Druzenko said:
{{quotebox-float|"I have always been a great humanist and said that if a man is wounded, he is no longer an enemy but a patient. But now [I gave] very strict orders to castrate all [captured Russian] men, because they are cockroaches, not people."<ref>https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10636597/Ukrainian-doctor-tells-TV-interviewer-ordered-staff-CASTRATE-Russian-soldiers.html</ref>}}
Since 2014 when the Kyiv regime initiated the Donbas war against Russian civilians, some 500 doctors have worked with Druzenko's mobile hospital. In March 2022 a pro-Ukrainian Telegram channel called White Lives Matter released a video of a Ukrainian soldier calling the fiancée of a Russian POW, taunting her with promises to castrate the captive.

Ukrainian soldiers' used of the cellphones of dead Russian soldiers to mock and hector their relatives. In fact, the Ukrainian government has begun using facial recognition technology from Clearview AI, a US tech company, to identify Russian casualties and taunt their relatives on social media.<ref>https://twitter.com/raczylo/status/1508046216420020225</ref> The facial recognition service is provided by Clearview to the Kyiv regime free of charge.<ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/04/15/ukraine-facial-recognition-warfare/</ref>
[[File:Tortured and executed Russian POW.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Tortured and executed Russian POW.]]
On March 27, 2022, very disturbing videos emerged of mistreatment of Russian POWs by Armed Forces of Ukraine. One video shows Russian soldiers with canvas bags over their heads and then beaten in the face with rifle butts. The prisoners are shot in the kneecaps and genitals, and they are left on the ground to bleed to death. Several vans then arrive at the Ukraine military compound in Kharkiv, and as each POW is removed from the van they are shot in the knees. A second video shows Russian POW's lying face down in a paved courtyard, or compound, and then being shot in the knees from the rear.<ref>https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2022/03/27/zelenskyy-worried-about-western-financial-support-after-video-surfaces-showing-ukraine-military-torturing-russian-pows/</ref> On May 1, 2022, Sergey Velichko (call sign "Chili") was captured by Russian forces and confessed to the war crime.<ref>https://twitter.com/AZmilitary1/status/1520769703165280256</ref>
The notorious [[Kraken unit]] of the Azov nationalist regiment are particularly well known for openly conducting safaris for civilians with a pro-Russian position in the Kharkiv region.
Reporters stood idly by while POWs were paraded and beaten in public which went unreported in Western media.<ref>https://www.bitchute.com/video/OQelUXM5RPlI/</ref>
On May 10, 2022, a former French Army soldier who spent several weeks in Ukraine delivering medical equipment and supplies told Sud Radio that Ukrainian Nazis "wanted to skin blacks and [[Jews]]":<ref>https://rumble.com/v14h93b-they-wanted-to-skin-blacks-and-jews-french-volunteer-on-ukrainian-neo-nazis.html</ref>
{{quotebox-float|"There, on the spot I saw war crimes. I saw a lot of war crimes. The only crimes I saw during the days I was there were perpetrated by Ukrainian forces...I saw Russian soldiers who were taken prisoner, bound and badly beaten…They were brought [to a detention area] in groups of three or four in minibuses. Every soldier exiting the minibus received a bullet from a Kalashnikov rifle in the knee…Those who admitted that they were officers got shot in the head...When I returned to France, I was extremely shocked by what the people who were invited on the TV shows were saying. A chasm exists between what I see and hear on TV and what I saw on the spot. For me it’s abominable...It shocks me enormously that Europe still gives weapons to a force which in my view are neo-Nazis, who have neo-Nazi insignia. We don’t talk about it. It’s an SS insignia brandished across Ukraine, everywhere...No one in Ukraine seems concerned about this, while we arm them with European weapons. They go off and commit war crimes, I saw this myself."<ref>https://youtu.be/FKKRj-8DvCM</ref>}}
On May 6, 2022, Lucas Leiroz, researcher in Social Sciences at the Rural Federal University of [[Rio de Janeiro]] and a geopolitical consultant, wrote about the evidence of similarities between known CIA torture techniques and torture techniques documented to have been used by neo-Nazis in Ukrainine.<ref>https://southfront.org/did-cia-train-ukrainian-torturers/</ref>
Russian POWs who were exchanged in June 2022 attested to torture, beatings, electro shock, and stabbings while in Ukrainian custody.<ref>https://www.bitchute.com/video/02g3LD97lIb6/</ref>
In November 2022 the ''New York Times'' verified the authenticity of a Ukrainian troops executing of Russian POWs.<ref>https://archive.ph/41DVn</ref> One video was filmed by an unnamed Ukrainian soldier on his cell phone, while other footage comes from drone videos that were most likely filmed by Ukrainian forces surveilling the offensive. ''The Times'' compared the videos to satellite imagery, confirming that they had been filmed at a farmhouse in the village.
One of the videos first circulated on pro-Ukrainian social media channels. In the video, Russian soldiers can be seen clearly in the process of surrendering to Ukrainian forces when one Russian soldier appears from the background and opens fire. The Ukrainian forces seem to return fire.
The video cuts and the same Russian soldiers are shown lying dead on the ground, most of them positioned as they were when they surrendered, apparently executed at point blank range in the back of the head. The Russian soldier who had opened fire appears to also have been killed on the spot and is lying in the position from where he opened fire.
[[File:Chris Nagamura.PNG|left|300px|thumb|American nazi war criminal Chris Naganuma wanted in connection with the execution and murder of 10 Russian prisoners of war.<ref>https://youtu.be/IIaLLf8zLA8</ref>]]
Commenting on the videos, Dr. Rohini Haar, medical adviser at Physicians for Human Rights, told the ''New York Times'', “It looks like most of them were shot in the head. There are pools of blood. That indicates that they were just left there dead. There appears to have been no effort to pick them up or help them.” Dr. Haar added that because the Russian soldiers had been lying down, apparently unarmed, with their arms outstretched or behind their heads, “They’re considered ''hors de combat'', or noncombatants—effectively prisoners of war.”
Russia has denounced the killings as “deliberate and methodological murder.”
As the ''Times'' article admits, the Ukrainian soldiers could be prosecuted for the extrajudicial killing of Russian POWs under the laws of international armed conflict, including the Geneva Conventions and the Rome Statute, the international treaty that established the [[International Criminal Court]]. According to the [[Geneva Convention]]s, POWs “must at all times be humanely treated. Any unlawful act or omission by the Detaining Power causing death or seriously endangering the health of a prisoner of war in its custody is prohibited, and will be regarded as a serious breach of the present Convention. ... Measures of reprisal against prisoners of war are prohibited.”
Similarly, the [[Rome Statute]] says that “Killing or wounding a combatant, who, having laid down his arms or having no longer means of defense, has surrendered at discretion” constitutes a violation of international armed conflict.
One person complicit in the murder is an American, Chris Naganuma. It has been confirmed that Mr. Naganuma was in attendance during the executions. According to ''Sputnik'', Ukrainian troops who massacred Russian POWs were trained by the United States.<ref>https://sputniknews.com/20221121/report-ukrainian-soldiers-involved-in-murder-of-10-russian-pows-tied-to-nato-linked-brigade-1104517237.html</ref> Also complicit were Ukrainian border guards Arthur Brynuchuk and Myskloviski Nazar. The Russian Investigative Committee opened a criminal investigation. Wanted for war crimes, Naganuma was last reported fleeing back to the United States.<ref>https://trackamerc.livejournal.com/5801.html</ref>
