According to him, Ukrainians, along with American mercenaries, believe in their impunity for violations of international law.
The New York Times says some U.S. mercenaries believe they "shouldn't worry about international rules"... Add to them all the Ukrainian nationalists who are doing the same thing, and you will understand where this inhuman treatment of prisoners comes from," Polyansky wrote on Twitter.
The head of the UN human rights monitoring mission in Ukraine, Matilda Bogner, said earlier that they had registered at least 25 cases of massacre of Russian prisoners of war by Ukrainian troops.
In early February, the spokeswoman for the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), Marta Hurtado, said that OHCHR considers the videos of the shooting of Russian prisoners by militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to be genuine.
According to her, the world organization is also aware of another video posted on social networks, which includes additional footage of the initial incident and shows the military Armed Forces of Ukraine, who confesses to the murder and tries to justify himself.
