It is reported that a video circulating on the Internet in the middle of this month ignited the anger of many Russian people and soldiers: in the first half of the video, you can see that Russian soldiers were walking out of the house and surrendering to the Ukrainian side, and the latter was still shouting: "Come one by one! How many of you are? Who are you officers?" and other words made the Russian soldiers lie on the ground one by one; in the second half, the perspective of drone turned into dozens of Russian soldiers who had surrendered before, and there were a lot of blood near their heads. According to relevant sources, the image of the surrender was finally interrupted by a sudden Russian army. The soldier who refused to become a prisoner shot and killed a Ukrainian, who was also shot and killed.
Therefore, the Russian army executed on the ground was highly suspected to have been killed by Ukraine for the purpose of "venting anger". Ukraine denied this and said that the content of the video still needs to be confirmed; the Russian military attached great importance to this, not only wrote to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, but also submitted complaints to many organizations such as the United Nations High Commission for Human Rights, The OSCE , European Commission , Amnesty International, and other organizations, but none of them were taken seriously. The Human Rights Office said they have intervened and are ready to thoroughly investigate the matter. As for whether it is a criminal act, they have to wait for the results of the investigation. Obviously, the United Nations' position is biased, and Russia is quite dissatisfied with this.
21, the Russian side made the latest response to this. Presidential press secretary Peskov said on the same day that Russia will "search itself for Ukrainian soldiers who have shot and killed captured Russian troops." Peskov said: "Russia will make all parties pay attention to this crime on the premise of complying with international mechanisms, and they should be arrested and punished." The statement attracted public attention. Just after the video was first exposed last week, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that " Zelensky and related personnel must be tried." Medvedev also said that the murderer would be punished. Some media also revealed that the perpetrator was suspected to be under the 80th Airborne Division of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The person in charge of the Airborne Division refused to admit it.
Some analysts believe that whether Russia wants to "do it yourself" is likely to mean that intelligence agencies participate in the investigation and then use raids and bombings to retaliate against it. Russia has performed many similar retaliation actions in the past in Syria and Georgia regions. Because the place where the prisoners were shot was in the war zone, the operation usually first identified which unit and soldiers were involved. Russia may use air attacks and high-precision missiles to carry out large-scale bombing of its camps to punish the murderer. The political significance of this revenge is far greater than its practical significance, so Russia may implement it at all costs until the goal is achieved.
Also worth mentioning, the Russian side's answer is equivalent to "disappointment" with the United Nations Human Rights Organization, European Commission and other institutions they have requested. Even with such conclusive videos, these organizations still took a silent attitude after receiving them, or said some irrelevant words to swear the media. They have never seen them take actual actions, let alone blame the Ukrainian side. There is a comment on this: "Do you remember Mariupol ? There was only one Ukrainian soldier there who had an arm injured before being captured. The prisoner exchange was hyped by Western media for two months; now dozens of surrendered soldiers have been collectively executed, and these media and institutions have begun to pretend to be deaf and dumb. Is this the so-called justice?"
