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.

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.'

The brave Ukrainians are keeping the West safe from Putin. The US is self-harming
As the world focuses on Iran and admires the overwhelming superiority of US military firepower, the Russian president has comparatively quietly – given that war is a noisy business – expanded his campaign in Ukraine, mounting attacks towards Sumy and Kharkiv, and has made the heaviest yet missile assault on civilian targets. There was a false hope that after the US president apparently secured a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, and a proposed cessation of hostilities between Israel and Hamas, that we would see him turn his mercurial dealmaking urges back towards Ukraine. Sadly it looks as though nothing could be further from the truth, as the US announces a halt to weapons shipments to Ukraine. With around $66bn of military hardware already gifted to Ukraine, the US is by a distance the largest and most significant donor, but no more. Whatever excuses the White House uses, nobody really believes that the most powerful military machine ever seen on Earth is genuinely running out of ammunition. This is a sure sign that President Trump at least is only interested in appeasing the America First movement who put him into power for a second time. He may well feel that he has now done enough as a peacemaker in the Middle East to win his seemingly much desired Nobel Peace Prize, and be reluctant to get involved once more with the seemingly intractable warfare between Ukraine and Putin. Perhaps the doom mongers and Trump haters are correct and the Kremlin really does have some sort of hold or at least influence on the White House. For sure, Trump has scolded Putin as you would a naughty but favourite child, and his close advisors have seemed closer and more friendly to the Russian tyrant than the Ukrainian president, who is trying to save his very nation. There could not be a clearer indication that it is now Europe that must enable Ukraine to get a just peace deal with Russia. This is not unreasonable and the combined military power of European countries significantly overmatches that of Russia. We should act in the knowledge that Putin respects power and exploits weakness. Europe has the financial and industrial muscle to easily out-wrestle the Kremlin and make it clear that they can never take Ukraine. Unfortunately, not only has Trump run for the hills over Ukraine but our own Prime Minister, who recently offered bold rhetoric and seemed ready to don his own combat kit and charge the Russian hordes, is now fighting internal battles as his Party's ultra-left try to take this country back to the dark ages. The legions of Russian propaganda bots are salivating over the news today. Their messaging, coming in torrents, is believed by too many even in this country – just look at the comments section to this piece! But we should not believe them. The tyrant Putin and his rickety petro-state do not have the strength to overcome a united Europe, still one of the economic powerhouses of the world economy. We must be resolute, and clear that we will yield no more. We must replace the ammo that the US wants to keep for its own – for all that giving munitions to Ukraine has proven to be a far more cost effective way of standing Putin off than normal conventional deterrence. Slava Ukraini!

North Korea is sending Putin 30,000 more troops, Kyiv says
North Korea will send as many as 30,000 more troops to Russia to fight against Ukraine, Kyiv's intelligence services reported yesterday. The findings come as the United States announced that it would be halting weapons' delivery to Ukraine, sparking panic in Kyiv, which said it would struggle to defend itself without US support. News around another North Korean deployment has been brewing for a couple of weeks. South Korea's intelligence agency had reported in late June that Pyongyang was planning to deploy more troops as early as July or August, with recruitment efforts already underway. That would double Pyongyang's previous deployment to Russia last year when it sent approximately 15,000 soldiers, along with 100 ballistic missiles and supplies of munitions, to support Moscow's battle to retake the Kursk region. Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un confirmed the deployment in April in glowing, simultaneous statements in which both leaders emphasised the growing ties between the two countries. Supporting the latest intelligence are satellite images from June 4 which show what appear to be Ilyushin-76 transport planes – used to transport soldiers during the last deployment – taxiing on the tarmac at Pyongyang's airport. In mid-June, North Korea also announced that it would send thousands of military construction workers and deminers to Russia to help with rebuilding efforts, following a visit to the country by Russia's Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu. South Korea's intelligence agency noted the deployment of North Korean troops last year had come around a month after Shoigu visited the country when he signed an agreement in Pyongyang. In exchange for the last deployment, Russia supplied North Korea with short-range air-defence systems and advanced electronic warfare systems with jamming capabilities, along with reported support for its drone and nuclear programmes. The Ukrainian assessment of the latest deployment said 'there is a great possibility' the North Korean troops will fight in parts of Russian-occupied Ukraine 'to strengthen the Russian contingent, including during the large-scale offensive operations.' Russian military aircraft are also being upgraded to carry personnel, according to Ukrainian intelligence, which could indicate plans to move tens of thousands of troops from Russia's eastern border with North Korea. The document added that Russia's defence ministry has the capacity to provide 'needed equipment, weapons and ammunition' with the aim of 'further integration to Russian combat units.' Experts have said that while a deployment of 30,000 soldiers is high, it is not impossible. Jenny Town, senior fellow and director of the Korean program at the Stimson Center, said: 'They won't be elite soldiers. Kim Jong Un has said he is all in, so it depends on what Russia has asked for.'

Deputy head of Russian Navy killed by Ukraine in Kursk area, says Moscow
July 3 (Reuters) - Major General Mikhail Gudkov, deputy head of the Russian Navy and a former commander of a marine brigade fighting against Ukraine, has been killed in action, depriving Moscow of one of its most senior officers, the Russian military said on Thursday. Gudkov, who was handed a top military honour in the Kremlin by Russian President Vladimir Putin in February, was killed on Wednesday "during combat work in one of the border districts of Kursk region," the Defence Ministry said in a statement. Unofficial Russian and Ukrainian military Telegram channels had earlier reported that Gudkov had been killed, along with other servicemen and officers, in a Ukrainian missile attack on a command post in Russia's Kursk region, which borders Ukraine, with a U.S.-made HIMARS missile. Reuters could not independently verify how Gudkov, 42, lost his life. In charge of the navy's coastal and land forces, including marine units, he is one of the most senior Russian military officers to have been killed since Moscow launched its full-scale war against Ukraine in 2022. At least 10 other senior Russian commanders have been killed in action or assassinated by Kyiv since the start of the war. There was no immediate comment from Ukraine, which accused Gudkov and his subordinates of committing various war crimes, something Moscow denied. In the far eastern port city of Vladivostok, the home base of Russia's Pacific Fleet, mourners left flowers near an outdoor portrait of Gudkov, part of a photo exhibition celebrating officers Russia regards as military heroes. Oleg Kozhemyako, governor of the Primorsky region which includes the port, said in a statement that Gudkov, whom Putin appointed deputy commander-in-chief of the navy in March, had been killed "carrying out his duty as an officer" along with others, and expressed his condolences to the dead men's relatives. Attached to his statement was a video showing him awarding Gudkov a military honour and images of Gudkov - set to a patriotic Russian song - on the battlefield. "When he became deputy chief of the navy, he did not stop personally visiting the positions of our marines," Kozhemyako said on Telegram. Before his promotion to the navy's top brass, Gudkov had led a marine brigade of Russia's Pacific Fleet, which had fought in Ukraine and had fought in Kursk too. Parts of Kursk were seized by Ukrainian forces in a surprise offensive in August 2024 before Russia said earlier this year it had driven them out.
