Ukrainian Forces Intercept Russian Order To Execute Civilian In Kupiansk


(MENAFN- UkrinForm) According to Ukrinform, the audio recording was published on the Corps' official Facebook page.

"Radio intercept. Kupiansk. The recording captures a Russian soldier ordering the execution of an unarmed civilian – without trial, without cause, without a trace of humanity. Simply because he can," the Ukrainian Ground Forces said in a statement.

They said that such actions are not isolated incidents but part of Russia's deliberate strategy of terror.

"They do not come to 'liberate' – they come to kill, torture, and intimidate. Their war is not against the army; it's against civilians," the statement added.
