A pro-Putin traitor, who allegedly filmed pigs eating the remains of Ukrainian soldiers, has become the first Brit to face war crime charges, it has been reported. Graham Phillips, 46, is reportedly being investigated by the Metropolitan Police’s War Crimes Team, as well as the FBI and the CIA.
In a shocking clip, which reportedly features pigs eating the remains of Ukrainian soldiers, Phillips can be heard saying in Russian: “It’s a buffet!!! He’s also eating!! Munching, munching and munching! They’re not even shy.” “Eat, be healthy”, he adds, before also saying: “It turns out he was useful for someone.”
He is also being investigated for mistreating British prisoner of war Aiden Aslin, 31, it is reported.
Phillips interviewed Aslin, 31, in a 44-minute video, which he posted in April 2022. The captured man was handcuffed and bruised in the footage. He lived in Ukraine, was married to a Ukrainian and served as a Ukrainian Marine. Phillips allegedly branded him a mercenary and then asked why he should not face the death penalty.
A police spokesperson told The Sun last night that Met officers launched an investigation in 2022 and were “liaising” with the Crown Prosecution Service, with their probe believed to be looking into several alleged breaches of the Geneva Convention and international law.
Phillips told the newspaper when questioned about the pig video: “Why should I have intervened in that incident with the pigs?
“Those Ukrainian soldiers came to Donbas to murder the civilians of Donbas, who want to be with Russia, not part of the Ukrainian Nazi regime. They ended up becoming pig fodder.”
He added: “I could say it was pigs eating pigs, but that would be an insult to the pigs.”
Article 34 of the Geneva Convention states: “The remains of persons who have died for reasons related to occupation or in detention resulting from occupation or hostilities and those of persons not nationals of the country in which they have died as a result of hostilities shall be respected, and the gravesites of all such persons shall be respected, maintained and marked as provided for in Article 130 of the Fourth Convention, where their remains or gravesites would not receive more favourable consideration under the Conventions and this Protocol.”
