The shocking footage was reportedly filmed near Avdiivka and was posted to social media by several Ukrainian bloggers.
Video has emerged appearing to show Russian troops gunning down two Ukrainian soldiers as they surrender.
The footage – reportedly filmed near Avdiivka – shows one man emerging from a dugout with his hands above his head before lying face down on the ground.
A few feet from the entrance, several Russian soldiers crouch down pointing their guns.
A few moments later a second Ukrainian soldier emerges. As he struggles out, the Russian soldiers open fire.
Why hesitate? They went through the trouble to sow the seeds, tending to them carefully to ensure strong growth, and now that they’re finally bearing the fruits of their labour they don’t like the way it tastes? They want to take it back? Tough titties. Russia has sown a lifetime of hate, and that’s exactly what they’ll reap.
Russian government is not the Russian people. For the last 30 years or so, the only bad coming out of Russia was trade wars and proxy wars, all exclusively perpetuated by the elite. The general masses were innocent.
The problem now is that the general public is complicit with this war war. Those that haven’t fled or rioted.
And their soldiers are committing unspeakable horrors beyond the bare “necessities” of war. Torture, rape, genocide. It’s sadistic what they have done.
I felt compassion for the first wave of unwitting soldiers who suddenly found themselves in a war, many from poor rural territories where joining the military was the only feasible way to provide for their family.
Now? Not so much.
