The White of Surrender, and The Black of Infamy

WE JUST LAUNCHED A NEW FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN TO PURCHASE DRONE DETECTORS
Please, support it????????????????
Kamianske To tighten their grip on Kupiansk by cutting off its supplies along the main road that runs along and then crosses the Oskil River, Russian forces destroyed and then invaded the peaceful Ukrainian village of Kruhliakivka. Fearing they would be trapped in the pocket that the Russians are attempting to close to the north by pushing toward that canal, seeing the bridge that linked them to the west with Senkove (and the rest of the Ukrainian territories already liberated by the ZSU) demolished, and with nothing to the east but the areas of Luhansk already occupied by the Russian army,two unarmed civilians desperately set off south on Sunday.
They carried in a white bag and a backpack the few belongings they had managed to scavenge from their looted homes. The younger of the two advanced slowly in jeans, clutching a pole on which a white flag fluttered. With his other hand, he held the leash of his dog. Also in civilian clothes, an elderly man followed him, steadying his pace with his cane. Seeing a quadcopter drone approaching a couple of meters above the ground, the first of the two men let the pole slide so thatthe white flag enveloped him, clearly signaling his non-combatant status. The drone operator slowed it down enough to hover briefly above his prey, then accelerated it, causing it to explode on top of him. Seeing the young man torn to pieces and his dog dying, the old man dropped his cane and bag to the ground, stopped his weary pace, and, staring at a second drone approaching and circling in front of him in the same manner, made the sign of the cross. Whoever was remotely piloting the aircraft didnt even give him time to finish that gesture and blew it up. A third drone recorded the entire scene, focusing its digital eye on the remains of the two men and the dog, even afterother looters had stolen their remains, rummaged through their backpacks and clothes, and taken off their shoes. There were no military structures or positions nearby. The perpetrators of that outrage later posted it on Russian social media channels, peppering it with rashist propaganda aimed at discrediting Ukraine and its Armed Forces.
Two weeks earlier, the Ukrainian Defense Forces released intercepted radio communications between Russian soldiers in the Kupiansk area, where an order was given to shoot an unarmed civilian. The next day, a Russian sabotage and reconnaissance group (DRG) entered the center of Pokrovsk, killing several Ukrainian civilians near the train station. This was reported by the 7th Rapid Reaction Corps of the Ukrainian Airborne Assault Forces, which in recent hours released a video of the massacre of Kruhliakivka fugitives. Another intercepted conversation between Russian soldiers, obtained by Ukrainian Ministry of Defense intelligence, reveals the brutality with which they routinely suppress their own comrades trying to escape the battlefieldmutilating or breaking their limbs.
On August 25, the Russian Federationbeganthe process ofwithdrawingfrom the European Convention on the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. As the OSCEnoted,about 90% of Ukrainian prisoners of war were tortured by the Russians. I personally observed this constant during the many testimonies we recorded with veterans reduced to debilitated states, along with Alla Perdei. Just a few hours ago, in Nikopol, a Russian drone struck an ambulance carrying a patient to the hospital with sirens blaring, along with medical personnel. In those same locations, while we were filming aclipfor the Italian newspaper La Ragione a few months ago, Alla and I were targeted by a Russian FPV drone. After circling above us, it exploded just meters from our press car.
The vehicle was clearly marked from all sides, just as we were, with the word PRESS large on our black bulletproof vests. It was a harrowing experience similar to the one we had when we narrowly escaped an attack by Russian DRG forces in the Sumy region. We were escorted by the highest local civil authority and were protected in accordance with international conventions. However, that insignia, likea red cross on a white background, a white flag, a gesture of surrender or faith such as making the sign of the cross, or the clasped hands of kneeling childrenwhom the Russians opened fire on less than a month agoaremeaningless to those who not only ignore those rules but disown them.
Through our crowdfunding campaign, we aim to purchase and install drone detection devices on each of our vehicles to protect against drone attacks in hot zones.Anti-drone РЕБ devices have proven effective against traditional wireless drones but are completely ineffective against those connected via fiber-optic cables. We are launching this new campaign to ensure that none of those devices will hit us when we approach the frontlines where we write our articles.Your support will not only protect us but also the civilians and defenders within the devices range.

卡米安斯克（Kamianske）為了加強對庫皮揚斯克（Kupiansk）的控製，切斷沿著主幹道及經由奧斯基爾河（Oskil River）穿越的補給線，俄軍摧毀並入侵了平靜的烏克蘭村莊克魯格利亞基夫卡（Kruhliakivka）。因為擔心自己會被困在俄軍正試圖通過向北推進而形成的包圍袋內，尤其當看到連接他們與西部的塞恩科夫（Senkove），以及已被烏克蘭軍解放的其他領土的橋梁被拆除，並且東側隻剩下俄軍已占領的盧甘斯克（Luhansk）地區後，兩名手無寸鐵的平民星期天絕望地向南出發。

他們用一個白色袋子和背包攜帶著設法從被掠奪的家中撿到的僅存的少量行李。兩人中較年輕的男子慢慢向前走，穿著牛仔褲，手中握著一根揮舞著白旗的長杆。另一隻手牽著狗的皮帶。身穿平民服裝的老人跟隨著他，用拐杖穩住步伐。當一架四軸無人機逼近幾米低空時，第一名男子讓長杆滑動、白旗籠罩著他，清楚地表明自己不是戰鬥人員。無人機操控員將其速度放慢到足以短暫地盤旋在獵物上方，然後突然加速，使其在他上方爆炸。看著年輕人被撕成碎片、他的狗也快死了，老人扔下拐杖和背包，停下疲憊的步伐，盯著一架第二架無人機朝他飛來，並以相同方式盤旋，他做出十字的祈禱動作。遠端操控無人機的駕駛員甚至沒給他時間完成這個動作便將其炸死。第三架無人機將整個場景都拍了下來，並用數碼鏡頭一直聚焦在兩名男子和狗的殘骸上，甚至錄下了其他掠奪者偷走他們的遺物、翻查他們的背包和衣服、脫走了他們的鞋子。現場附近沒有任何軍事設施或陣地。這場暴行的凶手之後將影片上傳到俄羅斯社交媒體，並配以強烈的俄羅絲民族主義宣傳，企圖抹黑烏克蘭及其武裝力量。

兩周前，烏軍公布了截獲的在庫皮揚斯克地區俄軍之間的無線電通信內容，其中有一則下達的射殺一名手無寸鐵平民的命令。次日，一支俄羅斯破壞與偵察隊（DRG）闖入波克羅夫斯克市中心，並在火車站附近殺害了數名烏克蘭平民。烏克蘭空降突擊部隊第7快速反應營報道了此事，近期還發布了一段克魯利亞基夫卡俄軍屠殺逃犯的影片。另一段由烏克蘭國防部情報部門截獲的俄軍對話揭示了俄軍常態性壓製試圖逃離戰場的自己同誌的殘暴行徑他們會肢解或折斷他們的四肢。

2025年8月25日，俄羅斯開始啟動退出《歐洲防止酷刑及不人道或有辱人格待遇或處遇公約》的程序。正如歐洲安全與合作組織（OSCE）所指出，大約90%的烏克蘭戰俘被俄軍施以酷刑。
我與Alla記錄的許多退役士兵的證詞中，我親自讀到了許多這樣的證詞，這些士兵被折磨至極度衰弱。就在幾個小時前，在尼科波爾，一架俄羅斯的無人機攻擊了一輛載有病人正疾馳去醫院的救護車，車上警笛作響並有隨車醫護人員。同一地點，幾個月前，當我們為意大利報紙《La Ragione》拍攝一段影片時，我與Alla就曾遭到一架俄羅斯FPV無人機的襲擊。它盤旋在我們頭頂上空，最終在距離我們的新聞車幾米遠的地方投擲了炸彈。

那輛車在各個方向都清楚標示了PRESS字樣，就像我們一樣，黑色防彈背心上印著大大的PRESS。這段痛心的經曆讓我們想起我們在蘇梅地區驚險逃脫俄軍DRG部隊襲擊的經曆。我們由當地最高民事當局護送，並依照國際公約受到保護。然而，這些象征物，比如白底紅十字、白旗、投降或祈禱時的十字姿勢，甚至是跪地孩子們緊握的雙手，對那些不僅忽視這些規則，甚至公開否認它們的俄軍來說，毫無意義俄軍在不到一個月前才向這樣的兒童開火。
（圖：我在烏克蘭第涅伯羅彼得羅夫斯克州，為本文做報道版權所有，Giorgio Provinciali）
我們的目標是，通過我們的眾籌活動，可以在每輛車上購買和安裝無人機探測設備，以防止在前線熱點地區遭受無人機襲擊。反無人機РЕБ設備對傳統無線無人機效果良好，但對通過光纖連接的無人機完全無效。我們發起這場新募捐，希望確保在我們接近前線寫作時，這些設備都不會擊中我們。您的支持不僅能保護我們，也能保護有效範圍內的平民和烏克蘭戰士。
