Ironically, Lt. Col. Roman Venevitin is the commander that Prigozhin interviewed in June, and Venevitin confessed that he ordered his troops to fire on retreating Wagner units. Now Venevitin’s troups were fired on by other Russian soldiers when they tried to surrender.
“Today, Ukrainian fighters from the 3rd Assault Brigade also released a video confirming that they established 100% control over Andriivka. The fighting for this village was very tough. The village was reduced to ruins, which is why it took time to conduct the clearing operation in the open air. At the end of the fight, Ukrainians took several units of Russians into a pocket and forced them to surrender. Ukrainians promised to give them medical care, food, and water and send for prisoner exchange as soon as possible.
Russians dropped their weapons and armor and got ready to be evacuated to the Ukrainian side when something unexpected happened. The Ukrainian drone captures the moments before the disaster – the Russian artillery opened fire at the surrendering Russian troops. Several Russians were torn to pieces, several survived, and Ukrainians got away unharmed.
What is interesting is that instead of targeting the Ukrainian group that was several houses from them, Russians tried to prioritize the elimination of the traitors who refused to fight till the end.”
Ironic indeed. So very cruel to kill their OWN troops instead of acceptance of their surrender.
I also don’t understand the FR anti-Ukraine crowd cheer the murder of Russian troops by Russian military. Except of course those that heartlessly retort: “Not my flag, Not my country.”
Not my problem”
