Ukraine meeting in Brussels – explosive video stresses

Again and again there are violent acts in Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine that violate war law. Now Kyiv raises new allegations. Will Ukraine soon get other military aids?

Despite the negotiations on ceasefire, which was postponed by the United States more than a month ago, Russia continues his war against Ukraine with all hardness. Defense Minister from Germany and numerous other countries today want to coordinate further military aid for Ukraine in the Brussels NATO headquarters. Meanwhile, the leadership in Kiev accuses the Russian occupiers of a whole series of other war crimes – from the shooting prisoner to the continuing shelling of cities with many civilian victims.

Representatives from 50 countries are expected to meet the so-called Ukraine contact group in Brussels, including the Ukrainian Minister of Defense Rustem Umjerow. He should inform about the situation on the front and explain which defense goods currently need its armed forces most urgently. Military circles say that Ukraine should be in great difficulty at the latest at the latest when its partners do not provide further military aids. The meeting in the NATO headquarters is headed by the executive Federal Defense Minister Boris Pistorius and his British colleague John Healey.

Great Britain’s government announced in advance that it provides Ukraine with another military package worth more than 500 million euros to defend the Russian attack. The help co -financed by Norway is said to ensure the supply of radar systems, tank defense mines and “hundreds of thousands of drones”. According to a report by the British “Telegraph”, the Ukraine supporters’ circle also consider to send British soldiers to Ukraine for five years in the event of an armistice in order to train the Ukrainian troops and make them so powerful that they could withstand a new attack by the Russians.

In the meantime, a new case was public in which Russian soldiers are said to have shot caught Ukrainians. A video recorded by a drone documented this war crime, wrote the Ukrainian human rights officer Dmytro Lubinez near Teleginz. It shows how four soldiers come from a destroyed house with raised hands and lie down in the grass at the command of their opponents. Then they shoot the men lying on the floor first into their backs and then into their heads.

“According to preliminary information, this happened on March 13 near the village of Pjatychatky,” wrote Lubinez. He would report the crime to the International Red Cross and the United Nations. Such executions are not an isolated case, but systematic policy of the Russian Federation, which is promoted at the highest level, said Lubinez. Several independent experts have classified the video as authentic.

Again and again Ukraine Russia accuses war crimes. In particular, the killing of prisoners of war has already been recorded several times on videos or photos. Moscow rejects all such allegations as baseless. Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskow said that Russia treated the caught Ukrainians in accordance with the international laws.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj, after a rocket attack on the city of Dnipro, once again accused of missing peace will and demanded that the international pressure on Moscow increase. “A tactic of pressure is necessary – pressure on Russia, so that terror and war end,” said Selenskyj in his evening video address.

According to him, there was at least one dead man in the rocket attack on the industrial city in the east of Ukraine. According to the area administration, eight other people were injured.

Selenskyj also reported further attacks during the day, including the capital Kiev. At the attack on the city of Nikopol near the front alone, twelve people were injured, including a child. “Russia obviously ignores diplomacy and only uses his contacts with the world to get advantages for themselves, not for the end of the war,” said Selenskyj.
