Journalists identify Russian commander linked to POW executions in Ukraine

Investigative outlet Slidstvo.Info identified Valeriy Esayan (call sign Saval) as likely commander of Russia's 114th Guards Motor Rifle Regiment during 2025 operations in Donetsk. Ukrainian prosecutors allege regiment personnel executed at least 43 Ukrainian POWs across Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk regions. Identification supports war-crimes accountability efforts, though command responsibility remains unproven.
