In Ukraine, Killings of Surrendering Russians Divide an American-Led Unit
In Ukraine, Killings of Surrendering Russians Divide an American-Led Unit
A German medic said he was so troubled that he confronted his commander. Others boasted about killings in a group chat.
The fact the NYT is reporting this makes me think it's joever
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Hours after a battle in eastern Ukraine in August, a wounded and unarmed Russian soldier crawled through a nearly destroyed trench, seeking help from his captors, a unit of international volunteers led by an American.
The shooting of the unarmed, wounded Russian soldier is one of several killings that have unsettled the Chosen Company, one of the best-known units of international troops fighting on behalf of Ukraine.
In a second episode, a Chosen member lobbed a grenade at and killed a surrendering Russian soldier who had his hands raised, video footage reviewed by The Times shows.
In a third episode, Chosen members boasted in a group chat about killing Russian prisoners of war during a mission in October, text messages show.
A Greek soldier known as Zeus was at the center of all three episodes — tossing the grenade and, Mr. Grosse says, firing at the wounded Russian in the trench and bragging about another kill.
But in the United States military, a video showing the killing of a surrendering soldier, regardless of the circumstances, would prompt an immediate investigation, said Rachel E. VanLandingham, a professor at Southwestern Law School and a former U.S. Air Force lawyer.

Damn, that last line. The PTSD is palpable.
Nazis doing warcrimes. Shocker!
.ml user being a russian shill, shocker
I hope they get laid for all this shilling. That's a lot of work and dedication to a hostile foreign actor.
I know the mental gymnastics are strong, but only one side in this war sided with the Nazis, and it wasn't the US

The Ukrainians?
Fun fact: There are less nazis in the Ukrainian parliament than in France or in Germany ... let alone Russia. Go look for nazis there ... especially in the armed forces ... You'll find more than you might like. lol.
Then how come all those other governments can seem to organize a simple photo op without nazi SS symbols?
Next thing you'll tell me Hitler got into power because he got voted in lmao
Why should I give a shit about the parliament when they exert their power differently?
