I wanted to make this video to once and for all show that Ukrainian soldiers continue to break the laws of armed conflict on a daily basis.
Each day, the Ukrainian side releases propaganda videos showing the battlefield murder of Russian soldiers who are hors de combat. This is a French term meaning "out of the fight." It is used in military and international law to describe soldiers or combatants who are no longer able to participate in combat due to injury, surrender, or detention.
Such individuals are entitled to certain protections according to the laws of war, meaning they cannot be attacked or targeted as they are no longer considered a threat.
Every day, I see videos showing Ukrainian soldiers breaking the Laws of Armed Conflict. Why aren't these people held to the same standards as Western armies? We are funding them and giving them these weapons, yet they continue to break all of the so-called rules that we must abide by.
The Australian Defense Minister, Richard Miles, is directly responsible for the ongoing enablement of this murder, and he needs to be held to account.
