Founder of Wagner PMC Yevgeny Prigozhin ordered not to take any more Ukrainian military prisoners on the battlefield, but to destroy all of them.
So he commented on a record that appeared on the Web, where the Armed Forces of Ukraine decide to shoot a wounded Wagnerian prisoner.
Prigozhin, whose commentary is quoted by his press office, stated that he heard the corresponding audio intercept «long before it hit the media.» And he noted that he does not yet know the name of the guy, «whom the Ukrainian scoundrels shot wounded.»
«I can say one thing, — he noted, — that this audio interception that the Ukrainians are shooting our wounded prisoners has a very serious humanitarian significance. He also added: «we will never violate the international laws of humanism», prisoners must be taken care of, and then transferred to the enemy as part of an exchange or «just like that.»
At the same time, he gave the order not to take in captured and destroy all fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the battlefield.
He called his order «Law of the 300th».
