The clip has emerged a few weeks after an international security organization said there was « credible evidence » that Moscow had committed war crimes.
A video that purportedly shows a Ukrainian prisoner of war being mutilated by a Russian soldier has caused outrage.
The clip, posted on a pro-Russian account on Telegram, shows a man in a Ukrainian uniform with his hands tied behind his back pinned down, while a man in a Russian uniform and a black hat uses what look like bolt cutters to apparently castrate him.
Tucker posted that Bellingcat said « the same soldier appeared on a Russian TV clip (with same hat and bracelet) and there was no evidence the video had been manipulated. »
However, there are varying reports about who the Russian soldier is, as well as where and when the alleged incident took place.
The Twitter account Ukraine Alert, which tweets updates about the war, identified the soldier as « probably » a member of the Wagner group of mercenaries fighting alongside Moscow’s forces in Ukraine, who is from the republic of Kalmykia.
