Mr. Trump, Your Buddy’s Cutthroats are Killing Civilians & POWs

Russian cutthroats are continuing their killing spree against Ukrainian civilians and surrendered soldiers. 

Two Russian soldiers have shot dead seven civilians in the city of Pokrovsk, Donetsk Oblast, after demanding alcohol, according to  Khochu Zhyty ("I Want to Live"), a project of the Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War.

A father and son, Oleksandr Zavadskyi and Yaroslav Zavadskyi, came out to speak to the Russian soldiers, who demanded alcohol. When they were told that there was no alcohol in the basement, the Russians opened fire and killed the father and son.

After that, having gone down into the basement, the Russian soldiers killed the family who were there: the father, Dmytro Hulko; the mother, Oksana Hulko; their son, Dmytro Hulko; and Oksana's mother, Nadiia. Another man named Oleksandr was also killed, while one more – Petro Merontsev – was wounded and pretended to be dead.

Russian cutthroats also executed two Ukrainian defenders who had been captured in the village of Shakhove in the Pokrovsk district in Donetsk Oblast on December 27, according to the Donetsk Oblast Prosecutor’s Office.

“On 27 December 2025, during an assault on positions in the village of Shakhove, Pokrovsk district, representatives of the aggressor state captured two soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces who had been carrying out a combat mission at one of the positions. 

The occupiers, threatening them with firearms, forced one of them to partially undress, after which they shot both unarmed defenders. After seeing that the prisoners of war had died, they removed the clothes from the second defender who had just been killed."
