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.

    You employ heavy whataboutism and generally jump all over the place in your comment. Okay, you put Azeri-Armenian conflict there for some reason, but then you briefly mention heart-eating in Syria? What are you talking about? How it’s related to the thread under that article? It feels like I’ve jumped into an hour-long discussion at the end, but no, that’s what you start it with. I believe, if you put it there, you want people to understand your point and interact with you, but you yourself need to be coherent for it to be possible.

      I’ve written sufficiently clear what I’m talking about, I’ve seen normal comments from you personally, but I won’t make more attempts.

        The fediverse is a tight camp yet we don’t need to agree on everything and who knows where we’d meet next.

        There though I say I don’t understand why you put these things together before even arguing your point or jumping on you. I didn’t see any side condone that kind of violence in Azeri-Armenian conflict, only a mere support of one side over another due to political support of the side suspected behind them. Moreso, I don’t remember it getting any coverage in worldnews at all, or someone having any stakes beside the parties involved and their close partners. It’s not the exact thread to do so, but you can raise awareness about that if you will.

        I feel like you can explain the connection you made.

          Worldnews has nothing to do with this. The indignation in the article is funny in comparison with the emotions I’ve encountered from Ukrainians in TG and elsewhere about Azeri war crimes. Which is why I feel like laughing at it. Not at the crime itself.

          I also don’t get what you are trying to say, that most people here don’t have the context to understand? That is their fault. I’ve described it briefly, they may politely ask if that weren’t clear, just like they’d ask their professors in college if they don’t understand something.

          It’s the more ignorant party at fault usually.
