his revolting image shows a pro-Putin combat veteran waving the skull of a dead Ukrainian soldier as he threatens to wipe out the nation.
Igor Mangushev, a 36-year-old campaigner, was addressing a gathering while holding what he claimed to be the skull of an Azov regiment warrior slain in Mariupol, southeast Ukraine.
Why is there no chance of reconciliation, questioned the deranged ultranationalist.
We need to de-Ukrainize Ukraine.
In his sickening tirade, pro-Putin activist Mangushev threatened: “We’ll build a goblet out of your skull.”
“The Novorossiya Russian territories must be given back.”
“We are not at battle with creatures of the flesh and blood.” We are at battle with the notion that Ukraine is a nation hostile to Russia.
According to Mangushev, the skull belonged to a soldier from the Azov regiment who was slain in Mariupol.
He was cited by Astra media as stating, “We’re alive and this man is already dead.” while holding the skull.
“Let him smolder in hell.”
He wasn’t fortunate. We’ll carve his skull into a goblet.
Mangushev openly urges for the murder of people on his Telegram channel.
He said on Facebook, “We will destroy your homes, murder your families, steal your children, and raise them as Russians.”
In addition to leading the nationalist group Light Russia and developing the private army ENOT, which is said to have ties to the FSB, Mangushev is purportedly fighting against Ukraine.
The address of the Ukrainian combat veteran arrived at an unknown time and place.
Mangushev is believed to have participated in the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, which started in February.
The ultranationalist who supports Putin has a 14-year-old daughter and is shown wearing a Russian army “Z” cap.
He has a daughter who is 14 years old, and his true name is Reimer.
The performance using a human skull is illegal under at least one provision of Article 244 of the Russian Federation’s Criminal Code, which prohibits “Desecration of the Bodies of the Dead.”
International law also considers it to be a war crime.
It was unclear where and when the video was shot, and neither information could be independently confirmed.
