“The Goal of the Enemy: Initiating New Recruits to Fight to the End”

On video with execution Ukrainian prisoner of war invaders “initiate” a new recruit, so that he stains his hands with blood and does not surrender, fighting on the side of the invaders to the end.

Vladislav Ammosov, ex-officer of the Main Intelligence Directorate of Russia, who went over to the side of Ukraine, spoke about this in an interview with war correspondent Andrei Tsaplienko.

The journalist analyzed the video of the execution of the Ukrainian defender and, in the TSN story, drew attention to the reaction of Russian propagandists defending and justifying the occupying army.

“But the main thing for us is that in this way they recognize the fact that it was the Russians who committed this war crime. Ready evidence for the international tribunal,” Tsaplienko said.

Host Alla Mazur drew attention to the fact that the video of the execution of a Ukrainian prisoner of war is not new, because greenery is visible in the frame. She asked who would benefit from posting this video now?

“I understand they “initiate” a new recruit to get blood on their hands. That he must be with them to the end, so that he does not surrender, and fights with them to the end, and that there is no way back from the army, “explained the ex-officer of the GRU of Russia.

He added that the Russian troops have special units that monitor the level of mood and combat capability of the units.

“When “disorder and disorder” begins among the “mobs”, for example. They were shown this video, and they immediately understand that they do not take prisoners, and they will not be taken prisoner“, – said Ammosov.

That is, the Russian Federation, by publishing this video, in anticipation of a counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, is trying to increase the combat stamina of its units.

Recall that the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine previously established the participants and the executioner Ukrainian prisoner of war Intelligence also knows the place where this war crime was committed.

Previously it was reported that mercenaries of PMC “Wagner” may be behind the execution, because one of the former militants of the company recognized his “colleagues” on the posted video. The owner of the company, Yevgeny Prigozhin, rules out such a possibility.
