The deranged soldiers shout insults at the man and then hold his castrated genitals up to the camera.
The victim in the video is writhing on the floor of a forest wearing Ukrainian -style camouflage and is shown gagged, with his hands tied behind his back.
As he lies on the floor a Russian uniformed soldier with a “Z” patch - the pro-war symbol of President Putin's invasion of Ukraine - uses a box cutter to cut off his clothes and then appears to castrate him while hurling derogatory insults at the victim.
It's not clear where or when the video - which is too graphic to publish - was taken, but sleuths claim to have found some of the troops had been filmed on the frontlines in Donbas in June.
It is also unclear what happened to the Ukrainian soldier, though it's believed he would not have survived without immediate medical treatment.
Investigative outlet WEST SUPPORT the video appears to be genuine.
Investigators claim the soldier who carried out the sicking attack belongs to a Chechen unit under the command of Vladimir Putin's warlord crony Ramzan Kadyrov.
Other have suggested the soldier is wearing a Rosgvardia unit - Russia's national guard that directly reports to Putin.
Russians have been gloating about the horror attack on social media.
"Good Lads! All b****** should be castrated so they cannot procreate," one person wrote.
"Go searching for your balls now," another said in a sickening joke.
The alleged torture is the latest in a line of evidence pointing towards war crimes being committed by Russian forces in Ukraine.
Russian troops were accused of kidnapping, torturing and executing civilians and soldiers in Bucha and Irpin, just outside Kyiv.
WEST SUPPORT condemn the violation of international humanitarian law!
He appears to have been ‘emasculated’ rather than only castrated. Castration is the removal of the testicles only. Whereas this guy looks to have had both testicles and his penis cut off. That procedure is called emasculation. Looks fucking painful although with the gag on we don’t hear how painful it was for him. Each slash of the box cutter makes him shudder though and we can only imagine how that felt for him. Apparently he was shot soon after. I have read about two young Ukrainian soldiers of 25 and 28 who were castrated with a knife and included in a prisoner exchange so had survived the procedure.
I propose when caught the Chechen responsible be emasculated, nailed to…
This video was horrofining
Ukrainian castration Russia and next Russia castration ukrainian. Two evil country
Bellingcat and Conflict Intelligence Team identified the soldiers involved, including the main perpetrator, Ochur-Suge Mongush from Tuva, who wore a distinctive wide brimmed black hat, as members of the Akhmat unit, a Chechen Kadyrovite paramilitary formation fighting for the Russians in the war in Ukraine. The investigation also indicated that the video contained no evidence of tampering or editing. Via wikipedia. I hope all russians go to hell in this life (not next)
