GRAPHIC: Ukrainian POWS captured, tortured and probably dead by now
On August 2nd this video has been published, reported to be from July 29th:
http://ukraineatwar.blogspot.nl/2014/08/graphic-ukrainian-pows-captured.html
These POWs are Ukrainian soldiers and they are beaten up badly.
Although the video pretends to show that they are taken care of:
Yet one of them has a fresh burn wound from a hot nozzle of a gun barrel:
The interrogator asks what it is and when finding out it was done by Russians, he laughs the matter away and says it is better not to talk about that.
Here is an example of nozzles that may have caused this:
Since it is a very specific pattern, maybe somebody knows what gun it must have been? Most barrels are round, but sometimes they are split like this one that is split in four:
He even touches and squeezes the wound deliberately:
Maybe his nose had just been broken?
The cloths from the POWs from behind:
Cameraman Alexander Ivin filming himself:
Note that he is missing a tooth. He must have lost it during the war, since he still had them before going to war.
On a larger scale:

At the end, when his friends are taken away, this boy breaks down:
The other POWs:
Maybe his nose had just been broken?
This is mister interrogator and he seems to enjoy it:
Note the specific tattoo:
Pretending to be nice to the guys they just beat up and were tortured:
The cloths from the POWs from behind:

The location
There is a distinctive building in the video:
It can also be seen on this website from before the war:
It seems to be a Ukrainian Border Guard Base and now it has turned into a Terrorussian HQ.
The location is here:
On a larger scale:
Yellow cross = Saur Mogila WWII monument.
Dotted blue line = border with Russia
Some photos from his page:
He seems to be good friends with mister interrogator:
He tried to run start a club in his hometown:
At that time he still had all his teeth?
With his mother in the club:
He was already friends with mister interrogator before they went to war:
Look at the tattoo on his right arm. It is the same as in the video:
Another photo:
He had earrings, but obviously he had them removed and likely had an operation to restore it, since this is not preferable for a soldier:
So, Alexanders club must have failed. He may have gotten financial problems and the two of them decided to try their luck as mercenaries...?
Alexander also has this photo on his page:
In the middle mr. interrogator can be seen. This photo is used for Propaganda lies. They say these are some of the Ukrainian 'Nazi' soldiers in front of the Ukrainian IL-76 the day before it was shot down and 50 soldiers died.
So even before they went to war they were involved in military activity (maybe training?) and they had no problems producing lies for the cause.
(GRAPHIC) Dead people
Alexander has some disturbing photos of dead people on his page:
One of the photos is this one:
What's most disturbing about this photo is that the person in the front has two big holes through his skull and both are burned, but only partially and the area on the ground around them is burned as well. So it is possible that they had been shot and then overthrown with petrol and set afire to make it look like war victims.
When discussing this matter with @RobPulseNews, I pointed out that maybe two of the POWs could be linked to those two dead people by showing him this photo:
The next day Alexander had removed the photo from his profile:
As you can see there are only 9 photos of dead people left.
This is what happens when we tried to access the photo again (link found in history of Chrome):
First we thought it was a coincident, but still a suspicious, because why would Alexander specifically remove that photo? I argued: because that is the only photo that links him to as well the living and the dead POWs. Since we tweeted publicly about this matter, he or the FSB might have noticed and they may have removed compromising content.
Later we found out that Rob's twitter account may have been hacked, so now we think they had been able to read our discussion. Remember how Russia deliberately attacked Rob's Warcrime blog and were initially even able to take it down. See this blog.
Yet, Google image search on the image still gave a result and it can be found here, together with other photos of dead people as well. WARNING: VERY GRAPHIC: see this link. That page is an update from a previous one. The previous one also has a photo from the same two people from a different angle. See this link.
There is also a photo of a female where clearly just the ground around her is burned.
Although at this moment no conclusive conclusions can be made, we fear the POWs are killed and dead by now.
And Alexander Ivin and his friend have been witnesses of that.
If you have ANY information about any of these people or this issue, please let us know.
