An unverified video footage shows a man in Ukrainian-style camouflage fatigues who is gagged with his hands tied behind his back.
According
to report, Russian troops have been described as 'inhuman cannibals' after a
horrifying video emerged which appeared to show a Ukrainian soldier being
pinned down and castrated.
The clip
was shared on a pro-Russian Telegram page, leading prominent figures within the
Ukrainian government to describe the assailants as "cannibals" who
enjoy "torture and murder".
As he lies
on the floor, a man in a distinctive fringed hat and Russian uniform -
featuring a "Z" patch associated with Russian troops - uses a box
cutter to mutilate him while shouting insults.
At least
two others who appear to be Russian soldiers can be seen in the video.
Investigative
journalism outlet Bellingcat has told The Times the footage is genuine.
Mykhailo
Podolyak, adviser to the head of the President's office, tweeted that the clip
showed the Russian soldiers enjoyed "torture and murder."
"Russian
propagandists were delighted to show how a group of in humans destroyed a
captive. All the world needs to understand: Russia is a country of cannibals
who enjoy torture and murder.
"But
the fog of war will not help to avoid the punishment of the executioners. We
identify everyone. We will get everyone."
Senior
adviser to the US Congress, Paul Massaro, also reacted to the videom calling
for the west to give Ukraine long-range missiles to "put an end to this
crime against humanity."
He added
that Russian war crimes in Ukraine are "an insult to all humanity."
