developing Radio Svoboda Kyiv 14d13d Impact 8

Russian prisoners of war have reportedly provided testimony stating they received orders to carry out executions. Pavlichenko noted that evidence includes numerous videos and social media reports of these crimes. The lack of accountability from Russian command is cited as a factor in these occurrences. These actions are allegedly linked to the emergence of the Storm-Z unit, composed of former convicts. Russian prisoner of war Vyacheslav Delyagin, from the Storm Z battalion, claims he received orders to shoot prisoners rather than take them. The incident reportedly occurred after the capture of the 12th Azov Special Forces Brigade. Delyagin stated that the command indicated there was no time to deal with prisoners. The claim follows video footage reportedly released on the Azov YouTube channel in October.
