Russians joke a ‘dead man wouldn’t have blood pressure’ in new Oscar Jenkins video

A new video has surfaced showing Oscar Jenkins having his blood pressure taken while his Russian examiners joke “a dead man wouldn’t have pressure”.

The *********** prisoner of war (POW) appears shirtless in the video, sitting in front of a Russian flag while two Russian men provide a running commentary.

“One hundred and twenty-eight – his blood pressure is slightly risen,” one of the men says.

“We’ll do another one to double check.”

“A dead man wouldn’t have pressure, it’s logical, yes?” the other quips.

The men also have trouble measuring Mr Jenkins’ pulse using an oximeter because his hands are too cold.

They eventually abandon it and return to the original blood pressure monitor.

“One hundred and twenty-six over 79 – normal pressure, it’s slightly high, heartbeat is 86,” one says.

“But on this one, the finger is too cold.

“It doesn’t show through but on this one it showed.”

showing Mr Jenkins alive.

Both were uploaded by accounts with the same name.

NewsWire has not been able to independently verify where or when either video was taken.

Reverse image searches have shown the videos were first uploaded on February 8, but in the other video, which shows Mr Jenkins being questioned in English, a man off-screen says the video was taken on January 17.

A new video has surfaced purportedly showing *********** POW Oscar Jenkins alive in Russian custody two months after his capture in eastern Ukraine.

The other video shows Mr Jenkins clean-faced, clad in green fatigues and donning a beanie.

It is a stark contrast to the dirt-caked face that made headlines after news broke of his capture.

“My name is Oscar Jenkins, I am ***********,” Mr Jenkins says in the video.

His questioner identifies Mr Jenkins as a POW from Ukraine’s 66th Mechanised Brigade.

NewsWire understands he was fighting as part of the brigade’s 402nd Rifle Battalion when he was captured near Makiivka, a tiny village on the Zherebets River in Luhansk Oblast.

“Tell us about your health condition, about your mood. Are you OK?” the man asks Mr Jenkins.

“I would like more freedom,” Mr Jenkins replies.

“I feel a bit weak, I’ve lost a lot of weight, I have a broken arm still, I think, and my hand is not good.”

“But you are alive,” the Russian interjects.

“So the information about your death is not right?”

“Correct,” Mr Jenkins says.
