A gesture video of the execution of a Wagner PMC mercenary who tried to escape to Ukraine has hit the net.

After Yevgeny Nezhin, a Wagner PMC mercenary, was brutally executed a few months ago, which caused a wide public outcry, it became known about another cruel execution of a Wagner PMC mercenary from among the former prisoners. The latter was killed with particular cruelty with a sledgehammer, as evidenced by the video that appeared in the public domain.

As it became known, the name of the executed is Yakushchenko Dmitry Yuryevich. The latter, until recently, was in prison for organized murder in the Crimea, after which he ended up in the mercenaries of the Wagner PMC. When trying to escape and go over to the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, he was executed. The video footage (the Avia.pro editors do not publish this video due to its particular cruelty - ed. note) and information on this subject were distributed by the Gray Zone Telegram channel, which is closely associated with the Wagner PMC.

“On the video (18+) Yakushchenko Dmitry Yuryevich (born in 1978), was born in the Crimea under Ukraine, previously repeatedly convicted on its own territory. He received his penultimate term of 19 years for robbery and murder in the Crimea. Through the chance given to him for liberation and atonement for sins, he ended up in the Wagner Group, where after 4 days he escaped to the side of the enemy. In captivity, he gave an interview, where he confessed about the original plan for betrayal. He also expressed his opinion and hope that Crimea will pass to Ukraine, and he does not need Russia.”, - said in a message under the video, which depicts a brutal execution.

So far, there are no official statements from Prigozhin regarding the video.
