Osechkin’s direct speech: “We contacted Andrey Medvedev, the ex-commander of the 1st squad of the 4th platoon of the 7th assault detachment of the PMC Wagner, who is now in a deportation prison in Sweden. In Sweden, those held there have access to mobile communications and computers. They sent this video. He watched it several times, and he unequivocally recognizes his colleagues there – Wagner PMC fighters by their characteristic call signs, by the way they talk, by what they voice on the radios and other points.
Details: He also announced a €3,000 reward for any information about the people in the video to identify the killer and the person filming the execution. The amount is also planned to be increased with the help of donations in order to identify the killers and bring them to justice.
Osechkin recalled that such brutal murders had already been committed by Wagner PMC fighters – there is a video on the Internet of how the Wagnerites kill a prisoner with a sledgehammer in Syria, as well as a video of how they dismember the body.
Background:
- On the evening of April 11, a video of the brutal murder of a Ukrainian prisoner was circulated on social networks. The footage documented how a Russian military cuts off the head of a Ukrainian defender with a knife, who was still alive at that time.
- The Security Service of Ukraine has launched a pre-trial investigation into the brutal murder of a Ukrainian prisoner. The head of the SBU assured that the security forces would find the monsters who did this, even from underground.
- President Volodymyr Zelensky called on world leaders to respond to the appearance of a video in which Russian invaders cut off the head of a Ukrainian prisoner.
