Ukraine’s human rights commissioner urged the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the United Nations to investigate an image widely shared online on Saturday that he said likely showed a Ukrainian prisoner-of-war killed and dismembered by Russian forces.

Ukraine’s prosecutor general said separately that an urgent investigation had been launched into information being spread on social networks about the murder and dismemberment of a Ukrainian POW.

“A photograph, probably of a Ukrainian prisoner whose head and limbs were cut off by the Russians, has appeared online,” Dmytro Lubinets, the country’s leading human rights official, said in a post on the Telegram messaging app.

“In view of these horrific images, I have urgently appealed to the ICRC and the UN to record yet another human rights violation by the terrorist country,” Lubinets wrote.

    stop angering Russia

    Russia isn’t a petulant kid that are lashing out because they had their feelings hurt.

    It’s brutal expansionist state that needs to be stopped. Not “calmed down” by giving them what they want. Success will fuel further brutal expansion.

      So in your opinion Azerbaijan is

      a petulant kid that are lashing out because they had their feelings hurt

      or it was too long a text for you to grasp?

      I’m saying that the usual Ukrainian advice to Armenians is to stop angering Azerbaijan.

      Anyway, I think I’m again looking to be offended.

      Just … this amount of indignation about one guy chopped up. Nothing close to what a few countries which are not under sanctions openly do. It’s as if they really thought their lives are worth more.

        If not Azerbaijan, then it’s definitely describing you.

          Everything. I meant that most Ukrainians are fine with dismemberment when they don’t like the side whose PoWs get dismembered. So the emotion in that article is funny.
