Russia Eliminates Georgian Mercenaries Involved in Torture-Killing POWs

Imagine that the West has the nerve to call foul on Russia sentencing mercenaries to death – which is legal under international law – while the Ukraine people are torturing and executing POWs.

Russian forces have eliminated a group of Georgian mercenaries, fighting on the Ukrainian side, who were allegedly involved in the abuse and murder of prisoners, the spokesman for the Defense Ministry in Moscow, Lieutenant General Igor Konashenkov, said on Monday.

According to Konashenkov, on June 26, three kilometers from the Lisichansk oil refinery in the Lugansk People’s Republic, Russian units “destroyed two sabotage and reconnaissance groups of mercenaries with a total number of 14 militants.”

The first group, according to the spokesman, “consisted of citizens of various European countries,” while the second listed only mercenaries from the so-called Georgian Legion. According to Konashenkov, “Georgian militants were involved in the brutal torture and murder of Russian servicemen near Kiev in March this year.”

Since the launch of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine at the end of February, Moscow and Kiev have been accusing each other of abuse and torture, as well as of atrocities against civilians. In May, the Russian Investigative Committee said it was looking into a video published on social media, showing a Georgian mercenary beating a captured Russian soldier.

There are no videos of Russians torturing or killing POWs!

And no one has denied the authenticity of the videos of Ukrainians and their goons doing that!

The West just makes these wild, baseless accusations, while Russia is like “well, uh – we have video, so…”
