Disturbing video shows the fiend callously driving his military motorbike down an empty road in Russian occupied Ukraine.
The Sun is choosing not to show the footage due to its barbarity.
Two of Vladimir Putin's men can be seen taking part in the fatal act as one sits on the bike and the other drags the PoW into position.
Moments later, aerial video captures the men driving away as the prisoner is taken along with them.
It is unclear exactly where the footage is filmed from.
It has now been blasted by Ukraine's human rights commissioner Dmytro Lubinets who blamed it on Putin's brainwashed invaders.
Lubinets said: 'A video is being circulated on social media: it shows a man tied to a motorcycle and dragged along the road.
'This is demonstrative cruelty and another war crime by the Russian Federation.'
He has contacted the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross over the alleged atrocity which - if confirmed - amounts to a heinous war crime.
It would be a 'gross violation' of the Geneva Conventions and International Humanitarian Law.
Ukrainian PoW with says sick torture method left him begging for death
'Russia is acting like a terrorist state,' Lubinets continued.
'And it must bear fair responsibility for every crime.
'The Prosecutor General's Office reported on May 23 that 75 criminal cases involving the killing of 268 prisoners by Russian troops are being investigated in Ukraine since the start of the full-scale invasion.'
Throughout the conflict, Putin's men have been accused of carrying out brutal war crimes.
In January, Russian soldiers filmed themselves shooting dead six Ukrainian PoWs in cold blood.
Kyiv launched a criminal investigation into the murders and reported the sickening killings to the UN and Red Cross - insisting Russia cannot be allowed to so brazenly flout the laws of war.
The PoWs are seen lying face down on the ground in a wooded area next to a temporary hut.
'This one's mine,' says one of the executioners after demanding: 'Give me two machine guns."
And last October, a squad of Ukrainian drone pilots were executed by the Russians.
I was branded by Putin's men and left begging for death as a PoW
WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT
A UKRAINIAN prisoner of war who had the words "Glory to Russia" burnt on his skin has said he was left begging to die.
Following his release in a prisoner swap earlier this year, Andriy Pereverzev has revealed disturbing details of his time in captivity, including the sick torture method known as "Calling Putin".
The Ukrainian POW was captured in February 2024 on the battlefield after being severely wounded.
Despite his pleas to just "end it" and "finish" him off, Pereverzev was carried to an encampment where he was brutally tortured.
Speaking for the first time about his experience, Pereverzev told how he was mercilessly electrocuted by Vlad's troops seeking intelligence.
He said: "While they were carrying me. I kept asking them, 'Finish me off. Just end it, but they didn't.
"They used electric shocks on my open wounds a couple of times, and I started blacking out again."
As well as being horrifically beaten, the POW described how he had the words "Glory to Russia" burned on his skin whilst in captivity.
A disturbing photo emerged earlier this month showing the mutilated soldier.
Nine of the unmanned vehicle aces were filmed being shot dead after being stripped to their underwear.
Russia's dictator is also wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) after tens of thousand of Ukrainian children have been snatched by Russia in recent years.
It comes as fighting between Russia and Ukraine has continued to escalate - over three and a half years into the conflict.
One of Putin's top commanders was wiped out this week following the first Brit-made Storm Shadow blitz in months.
The deadly strike hit "the headquarters of the 8th combined arms army of the Russian Armed Forces" in occupied Donetsk - killing Colonel Ruslan Goryachkin.
Russia has unleashed deadly strikes almost every night in recent weeks as they look to steal away more land from Ukraine before agreeing to a peace deal.
The strikes came as Donald Trump's special envoy Keith Kellogg hit back at Putin over delays in the peace process.
Kellogg targeted the dictator's mouthpiece Dmitry Peskov as he slammed him, saying: "Peskov's recent comments on the state of negotiations are Orwellian.
'Russian claims that it is the US and Ukraine stalling peace talks are unfounded - President Trump has been consistent and adamant about making progress to end the war.
'We urge an immediate ceasefire and a move to trilateral talks to end the war. Russia cannot continue to stall for time while it bombs civilian targets in Ukraine.'

Pentagon reviews weapons exports to allies amid reported drop in munition stockpiles
The Pentagon has said that it is reviewing weapons deliveries to allies around the world as reports grow of concerns over dwindling stockpiles of crucial munitions including anti-air missiles. The announcement came after the White House confirmed that it was limiting deliveries of weapons to Ukraine to 'put America's interests first following a Department of Defense review of our nation's military support and assistance to other countries around the globe'. Those weapons were believed to include both offensive precision munitions such as Himars long-range missiles, 155mm artillery shells, and defensive Patriot anti-air missiles that are crucial for defending Ukrainian cities and energy infrastructure from Russian missile attacks. The Kremlin strikes have been condemned by most western leaders, including Donald Trump, who last week told a Ukrainian journalist that he would look for ways to deliver more Patriot missiles to Ukraine. Instead on Tuesday, deliveries of Patriot missiles and other munitions were reported to be halted because of a Department of Defense review inspired in part by the expenditure of hundreds of US interceptor air defense missiles, which were used to help protect Israeli cities as well as Qatar from Iranian bombardments during last month's war. On Wednesday, the Pentagon confirmed that its review of exports of US weapons could affect countries other than Ukraine, according to Sean Parnell, a defence department spokesperson, who said the review was ongoing. It was not clear if this could include Israel, which buys 68% of its foreign-sourced weapons from the US. Parnell's remarks came during a briefing in which he defended the review and pause in delivery of munitions to Ukraine but declined to discuss which specific munitions were being held back. 'A capability review is being conducted to ensure US military aid aligns with our defense priorities, and we will not be providing any updates to specific quantities or types of munitions being provided to Ukraine, or the timelines associated with these transfers,' he said. 'We see this as a common sense pragmatic step … to evaluate what munitions are sent and where. But we want to be very clear about this last point. Let it be known that our military has everything that it needs to conduct any mission anywhere, anytime, all around the world.' On Wednesday, Kyiv warned that a halt in shipments from the US would weaken its ability to defend against intensifying airstrikes and battlefield advances. Sign up to Headlines US Get the most important US headlines and highlights emailed direct to you every morning after newsletter promotion Ukraine said it had called in the acting US envoy to Kyiv to underline the importance of military aid from Washington continuing, and cautioned that any cut-off would embolden Russia in its war in Ukraine. 'The Ukrainian side emphasised that any delay or procrastination in supporting Ukraine's defence capabilities will only encourage the aggressor to continue the war and terror, rather than seek peace,' Ukraine's foreign ministry said. The review was said to be carried out under secretary of defense for policy Elbridge Colby, who leads a group of foreign policy thinkers who believe that the US should redirect resources from Europe and the Middle East toward combating the threat posed by China. The so-called prioritisers have powerful allies in the Republican party, including vice-president JD Vance, who has been a prominent critic of US aid to Ukraine. 'For a long time, four years under the Biden administration, we were giving away weapons and munitions without really thinking about how many we have,' said Parnell. 'I think that this president was elected on putting this country first and defending the homeland and then you couple that with … a shift to the Indo-Pacific. Part of our job is to give the President a framework that he can use to evaluate how many munitions we have and where we're sending them.' Reuters contributed reporting

Foreign leaders could be barred from visiting Britain if their governments refuse to help tackle illegal migration
FOREIGN leaders could be barred from visiting Britain if their governments refuse to help tackle illegal migration. A secret letter from the Foreign Office orders ambassadors to ramp up pressure on countries blocking efforts to stop the boats. Diplomats have been told to use visas and official visits as leverage. The internal memo, seen by The Sun, warns: 'Some of what we will need to consider will require us to challenge our current approaches.' Ambassadors have been ordered to 'use the levers of our bilateral relationships more creatively to drive cooperation'. It comes after migrant Channel crossings this year to date surged past the 20,000 marker in record time piling pressure on Labour to get a grip. On Tuesday, another 440 made the journey, the Home Office said. Yesterday, amid chaotic scenes in Graveline, France, a desperate mother with her child was seen pleading with traffickers to let her aboard a dinghy. Last week, security sources warned that Russia was pushing migrants to the UK to overwhelm border defences and sow division. Vladimir Putin's smuggling gangs. More than 18,000 have arrived in dinghies so far this year — and opposition MPs said the crossings should now be declared a 'national security crisis'. Senior security sources warned The Sun that foreign powers are backing or exploiting smuggling gangs in a bid to destabilise Britain. Also last week, Nato recognised illegal migration as a key threat to national security — by ruling that border protection can count towards every member's defence spending targets for the first time. Just 299 migrants crossed the Channel in 2018. The highest year for arrivals was 2022 at 45,774.

Pentagon pause on arms shipments to Ukraine part of a global review of pressures on stockpiles
The Pentagon is pausing shipments of weapons to Ukraine again after more than three years of deliveries meant to bolster the country's defenses against invading Russian forces. The Trump administration's decision comes as Ukraine is facing intensified attacks by Russia against its civilians, and withholding that assistance could reduce Kyiv 's ability to counter deadly incoming ballistic missile attacks. Officials said the decision was prompted by concerns that U.S. stockpiles were getting too low. Here's a look at what the U.S. has provided Ukraine to date and why it's concerned about pressure on its own arsenal: What weapons has the U.S. provided to Ukraine to date? Since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the U.S. has provided more than $67 billion in weapons and security assistance to Kyiv. That ranges from more than 500 million bullets and grenades to 31 Abrams tanks, more than 3 million 155mm artillery rounds and more than 5,000 Humvees. It's also provided scores of critical drones and drone defense systems. But Ukraine's constant need has been for air defense — from taking out Russian aircraft in the early days of the conflict to having to defend itself against long-range missiles now. In response, the U.S. has provided Patriot air defense batteries, National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems and HAWK air defense systems — and still more is sought. But those demands are butting up against demands for similar air defenses in the Middle East and the reality that the U.S. military does not have enough munitions on hand to sustain a high rate of deliveries, while providing troops with equipment to train on and build up a stockpile for a potential future conflict. That's especially true if it's put in a position where the U.S. has to defend Taiwan against China. How will the new weapons pause affect Ukraine? This is the second time the Trump administration has paused weapons shipments to Ukraine, but for different reasons. After an explosive Oval Office meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in March, President Donald Trump paused weapons that were funded under the Biden administration and still flowing into Ukraine. That pause was short-lived after Republican lawmakers pressed for Ukraine aid to resume. The new pause affects high-demand munitions the U.S. has sent to Ukraine, including Patriot missiles, the AIM-7 Sparrow air-to-air missile and shorter-range Stinger missiles. Ukraine has relied on the AIM-7 Sparrow to counter incoming missiles and shorter-range Stinger missiles to knock down Russian aircraft or counter drone attacks. The Patriot missiles are used against Russia's frequent ballistic missile attacks. The pause could have deadly consequences for Ukraine, said Brad Bowman, senior director of the Center on Military and Political Power at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. 'If we deprive Kyiv of PAC-3 (Patriot) interceptors it means more Russian missiles getting through and more dead Ukrainians,' Bowman said. Rather than cutting off Ukraine, Bowman said the administration needs to look at 'whether we are taking all the steps we can to procure the max quantity that industry can produce.' Does the U.S. face stress on its weapons stockpile? The Trump administration's pause is part of a global review by the Pentagon on what munitions it is providing and where it is sending them, and the impact on its own stockpiles. 'We can't give weapons to everybody all around the world,' Pentagon chief spokesman Sean Parnell said in a briefing Wednesday. 'We have to look out for Americans and defending our homeland and our troops around the world.' Adm. Samuel Paparo, head of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, has previously warned that the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East were putting pressure on his stockpile levels. As Iran launched a retaliatory ballistic missile attack last month, troops defended Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar with scores of Patriot air defense missiles — a high-demand munition the U.S. only has in limited supply. The Navy also has defended ships in the Red Sea by striking Houthi weapons and launch sites in Yemen with Tomahawk missiles. In one day in January 2024, it fired more Tomahawks than the Navy had purchased the prior year, said Mackenzie Eaglen, a senior defense fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. 'Everybody's worried — and the thing is, they have a reason to be worried,' Eaglen said. 'Air defense is a key capability of the most concern.' Is the U.S. producing enough weapons? A $60 billion Ukraine aid bill passed by Congress last year contained billions for U.S. weapons manufacturers to expand their production capacity. Despite the billions spent on defense contracts each year, the number of weapons in the U.S. can quickly dwindle — particularly for some of the complex air defense munitions — if a major conflict breaks out. That's because of the time it takes to build each missile. For example, despite an influx of investment since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the rate of production for Patriot missiles — one of the military's most important air defenses for its bases overseas — has increased to just 48 per month. That is compared to 21 per month prior to the invasion. While the total number of Patriot munitions the U.S. has is unknown, the number of entire Patriot missile defense systems is in such limited supply that providing one to a new location often means taking it from somewhere else. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said he needs the systems to help defend his country's electrical grid and cities from the thousands of missile and drone attacks it faces daily. And defending a large overseas base like Al Udeid can also require firing scores of the missiles, which cost $4 million a piece. For other munitions that have been critical to Ukraine's defenses — like the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, or HIMARS — production has increased from just 5 per month pre-invasion to 8 per month now, according to a Defense Department fact sheet. Elbridge Colby, Defense Department undersecretary for policy, said Pentagon officials have aimed to provide Trump 'with robust options to continue military aid to Ukraine' but also are 'rigorously examining' that approach while 'preserving U.S. forces' readiness for administration defense priorities.' ___
