A video posted online Monday appears to show a group of Ukrainian troops shooting captured Russia soldiers dead outside a village west of Kyiv.
The New York Times verified the video, which was shared on the social messaging app Telegram, on Thursday. The apparent killing of prisoners of war, which would be forbidden under the Geneva convention, comes as Ukraine has accused Russia of multiple war crimes since it invaded in February.
"He's still alive. Film these marauders. Look, he's still alive. He's gasping," a man in the video says while an apparent Russian soldier with a jacket covering his head, is seen breathing heavily, surrounded by a pool of blood.
A soldier then shoots the man in the head twice. The man keeps moving, so the soldier shoots him again, and he stops.
At least three other Russian soldiers, including one with a head wound and his hands tied behind his back, can be seen dead next to the victim. The dead men are all wearing camouflage and three of them have white armbands often worn by Russian soldiers.
The soldiers who are alive in the video, including the apparent shooter, are wearing Ukrainian colors of blue and yellow on their arms. They can be heard saying "glory to Ukraine" several times.
The dead soldiers are lying a few feet from a BMD-2, an infantry fighting vehicle used by the Russian airborne unit.
The video was reportedly filmed near the village of Dmytrivka, 7 miles southwest of Bucha, where Ukrainian authorities found mass graves of murdered civilians after Russian forces withdrew from the area.
Newsweek has contacted experts to ask them whether the actions shown footage can constitute a war crime. The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry and Russian authorities have also been contacted.

fixed it for ya
Fully approved by the NATurd officers in Kiev, no doubt.
Not surprising. Ukraine has also been using human shields.

Russia has killed civilians in Ukraine. Kyiv’s defense tactics add to the danger
“...Virtually every neighborhood in most cities has become militarized, some more than others, making them potential targets for Russian forces trying to take out Ukrainian defenses. ...”
Ukrainian soldiers have been using Ukrainian civilians as human shields on an industrial level.
War is hell.
I suspect both sides doing their fair share of this - basically cut from similar cloth. Armed combat is nasty business when you invite the world into your country to fight for you.
Warm up those hypersonic greeting cards.
Bucha is most likely fake.
450 “murders” in the streets of the village...but not video of any of it happening.
The bodies were supposed to be left out in the open/streets for up to three weeks...yet all look pristine.
If you ever seen dead bodies from violence....they don’t look like that on day one let alone day 21.
No independent outside observers or investigators.
Color me skeptical.
Now look at the Ukrainian videos of them killing Russian POWs. You can find it.
There is a video of it. And they look dead from minute one. Pretty sure any outside investigation would conclude the same.
“NATO war crimes“
Go away Russian.
Go to work in the morning at the Kremlin and brag how you infiltrated FR.
Will wait for Alarma TV to air it.
Hush Neocon 🐷
The Eastern Front during The Great Patriotic War was very very nasty.
I think the Soviet commissars were doing nasty stuff to the regular German soldiers, to get them to retaliate in kind.
It worked pretty good.
The Waffen SS versus the Soviets was a whole nother country.
I’m sure their Waffen SS grandpas would be real proud…
“Identify and prosecute them, next in line after the russian rapists and butchers of Bucha”
Absolutely.
“NATO war crimes.”
What NATO forces were involved in this incident? Please post a link to support your claim.
big deal
“Fully approved by the NATurd officers in Kiev, no doubt.”
Ah, the scatological crew has come on shift.
