The kremlin kills and tortures Ukrainians POWs.
russian troops regularly publish images of executions of captured Ukrainian soldies.
This is the English version of my letter to Hallandsposten which was published 22 October. It was also published in Kristianstadsbladet and Norra Skåne 26 October.
A campaign for "peace" in Ukraine is carried out by so called peace activists through letters to Swedish newspapers. In these letters, the proponents argue, among other things, that thousands of Ukrainians are dying unnecessarily with our weapons. In some cases, the arguments have been spiced up with stories of Ukrainians trying to avoid the mobilization. It is true that it occurs. It is no wonder that young Ukrainian men try to avoid mobilization because they know what awaits them if they are captured by russian troops. The testimonies of released prisoners speak for themselves. Torture, mutilation and starvation and sometimes executions are systematically carried out on Ukrainian prisoners of war.

Where civilization ends.
Source: Someone on Twitter. Note: I deleted an image showing dead Ukrainan soldiers who had been executed by fascist kremlin troops. I deleted it because I realised that it was disrespectful to the Ukrainan heroes and their relatives. I am ashamed that I published it and apologises to everyone who has seen it.
It is done systematically by a regime that has full control over what is allowed to be shown on social media. The purpose of publishing these films is to discourage Ukrainian men from defending their women from gang rape and torture.
A few days ago, an unusually heinous unit of the russian army published pictures of itself using combat gas against Ukrainian troops.

The unit is infamous. It was Rusich, one of the neo-Nazi units that russia used in the invasion of Donbas back in 2014. The terror that followed in the wake of Rusich and another unit Russian Imperialist Movement caused the Jewish congregations of Luhansk and Donetsk to flee to Kyiv and Israel.
The russian atrocities are widely known and documented by UN envoys and representatives of human rights organizations. That doesn't stop those who are participating in the campaign to try to stop helping Ukraine defend itself against the fascist dictatorship.
