Fake: heart-breaking video footage showing wounded Russian soldiers being executed by Ukrainian militants, is a fake.

What the fake message is about:
The execution of the wounded Russian soldiers near Kiev is staged, the servicemen and the blood in the video are fake. Advisor to the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Anton Gerashchenko writes about this in his Telegram channel

The fact:
The authenticity of the video of the brutal execution of the wounded Russian soldiers have been confirmed by the American news agency New York Times. Although a separate article is missing on the agency’s website, one can read about it in the news feed dedicated to the special operation.

The American news agency provides a description of the brutal execution of the prisoner: “He is still alive. Look, he’s still alive. He is suffocating,” says the Ukrainian soldier in the video. The Ukrainian soldier then shoots the Russian soldier twice. As the Russian soldier is still moving, the Ukrainian soldier shoots him again. Then the Russian soldier ceases to move.

We have already told  you about the numerous facts of executions and abuse of prisoners by Ukraine. In the video, the hands of the Russian soldiers are tied behind their backs with white armbands. This is a distinctive feature of the actions of nationalist battalions. Videos on which people are tied up in the same manner often appear in Sergey “Botsman” Korotkikh’s Telegram channel, who is one of the leaders of the Kyiv territorial defense units. Just like the dead soldiers’, the hands of the shot residents of Bucha were tied, which indicates that the perpetrators of the executions are the same.
