Horrific footage shows Russian soldiers ‘castrating’ Ukrainian PoW with retractable blade

TOE-CURLING footage posted online appears to show Russian troops castrating a captured Ukrainian soldier with a retractable blade, in a horrific act of torture.

Analysis of the video suggests it is genuine, but experts said it was not possible to state when or where it had been filmed. Ukrainian politicians reacted with outrage and repeated calls for Western nations to arm them so they could push the Russian invaders from their borders.

Since the invasion began over five months ago, Russian soldiers have been accused repeatedly of dreadful crimes against civilians and captured fighters.
Ukrainian women and children are said to have been raped by Putin’s occupiers, and there have been widespread accounts of torture.

The gory castration footage was shared by a Telegram account believed to belong Yevgeny Rasskazov, a member of the DShRG Rusich company – an allegedly neo-Nazi outfit linked to the Wagner group – who has previously praised Adolf Hitler.
The account, referring to Ukrainian soldiers as “children of prostitutes”, accused the defending forces of “very often question our soldiers, and often soldiers who cannot possess any information that would be expedient to obtain through torture

In the video, a man – who appears to be a Russian soldier or mercenary, wearing the now-famous ‘Z’ symbol – is seen wielding the Stanley knife while other men hold the captured soldier down.
The Ukrainian soldier is kicked in the head as he struggles on the floor, his arms bound and his mouth gagged

The first man proceeds to rip the captive’s army fatigues open and mutilate his genitals, holding them up in his hand triumphantly before tossing them to one side.

Aric Toler, a researcher for investigative website Bellingcat, told the Times that “unfortunately the video is genuine” and showed no signs of editing or manipulation.
Several other Russian soldiers are visible in the horrific footage, some of whom were filmed on the front lines in the Donbas region last month.

Mr Toler said he had been able to identify the Russian soldier – potentially called Arslan – because he had appeared in a Russian television clip filmed at the seized Azot chemical plant in Severodonetsk.



The soldier filmed in June was wearing the same distinctive hat and bracelet in both clips. A ‘Z’ symbol on a car in the new footage also suggests the incident occurred since the invasion of Ukraine began

A U.S. marine gives a cigarette to an injured Japanese soldier, buried in the sand at the battle of Iwo Jima in 1945. Equipped with a grenade, the soldier lay in ambush for 36 hours. Marines spotted him concealed in the dark sand and managed to dislodge the grenade out of his reach. Although he surrendered, the cautious Marines suspected potential booby traps and approached carefully. At his request, he was given a cigarette, and thereafter, they cautiously removed him from the shell hole.

Isolated pockets, totaling some 3,000 enemy soldiers, remained around the island. US V Amphibious Corps Command declared Iwo Jima secure at 1800...
