German volunteer fighting for Ukraine describe war crimes

submitted by weavilsatemyface from self.WarWatch

German mercenary Jonas Kratzenberg fought for Ukraine for months. He now reports that the abuse and torture of Russian POW was normal, and that he witnessed three POWs being taken out into the forest and executed.

Twitter thread here including video, or screenshot here.

My favourite part of the comment thread is the Great Brain who states that Ukraine isn't a member of NATO and therefore the Geneva Convention doesn't apply to them so these abuses aren't war crimes 😄

It's always hilarious when any country pretends they aren't just as big war criminals as some other country.

All war is crime. You train people to to out and kill other people and then you expect them to do it according to some sort of biblical principles? Get the fuck outta here!

War is hell. Massive amounts of war crimes during WW2 committed by all sides. It will always be so.

It's interesting to me noticing some of the characters who have been most vocally obnoxious about slaughtering "orcs" to realize that we are talking online directly to the Ukrainian Bandera supporters. The level of ignorance of many of the most ardent Ukraine supporters is shocking. Mind you, there are simultaneously equally ignorant Russians supporting Russia's role in this meatgrinder called The Ukraine War, but in the west, our propaganda has leaned hard into supporting what are remarkably obvious racists in support of "freedom and democracy". The contradictory nature of their lies is so glaring that even most normies are waking up to it.
