A New York Times investigation has uncovered allegations of war crimes committed by members of an American-led international volunteer unit fighting for Ukraine.
— The unit, known as Chosen Company, is accused of killing unarmed Russian soldiers and prisoners of war in at least three separate incidents.
— German medic Caspar Grosse, a former member of the unit, has come forward with eyewitness accounts of these alleged killings.
"I was so upset by the episode that he confronted his commander."
— Video evidence reviewed by the Times appears to show a member of Chosen Company throwing a grenade at a surrendering Russian soldier with raised hands.
— The Ukrainian military later released an edited version of this footage, omitting the surrender.
— Text messages from a group chat, also obtained by the Times, reveal unit members boasting about killing Russian prisoners of war.
— One soldier, using the call sign Andok, wrote: "If anything comes out about alleged POW blamming, I ordered it."
