Horrific video shows Ukrainian POW taking one last drag from a cigarette and saying 'glory to Ukraine' before being 'executed by Russian troops' as Kyiv slams 'heinous war crime

This is the moment a man, said to be a Ukrainian prisoner of war, takes one last drag from a cigarette next to a shallow grave before reportedly being executed by Russian troops.

The chilling video has emerged as Kyiv described the death of the soldier as a 'heinous war crime'.

In the grim footage, a man - who can be seen smoking a cigarette in a small hole in the ground - says 'Glory to Ukraine' - while a group of unseen soldiers are heard sneering in the background.

He is then shot to death with automatic weapons in what some Ukrainian politicians have said is proof of 'genocide.'

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky said in his evening address: 'Today, a video appeared of the occupiers brutally killing a soldier, who bravely said to their faces: 'Glory to Ukraine!'.'

This war has been propagandized from both side to the extreme. This story may be accurate, or it could be out context. Here is an example of what I mean:

Yeah, the question is Cui Bono and there’s no reason why Russia would tape and release something like this

[Timber Rattler]

You didn’t watch the video, did you?

[struggle]

I tried but there were 43 pop ups that slowed everything to a halt

Just a summary of an opposing view. Daily Mail certainly has no way to know the truth, either.

No proof whatsoever it was by Russia
Plenty of vids of Ukes being taken prisoner by Russians and treated humanely

Been speculated this guy knew the people he was with, by his relaxed demeanor, and was executed by his own troops

On the other hand…if he was known and recognized as having tortured or killed Russians or been a spy …no mercy

[dfwgator]

Another smoking-related death.

Eh, I don’t care anymore about the sensationalizing. Stop the cash flow, bring our tax dollar supplied equipment and people back home. Done with it all.

[AndyJackson]

the problem with Daily Mail is that it is one of the few rags in recent years that has more or less published the truth about what is going on domestically in the US when CNNABCMSNBCBSLIARS lie. So they are riding on their trustworthiness to spread MI-6 propoganda about Ukraine in the US. They have now joined ranks with all the other presstiliars.

During his detention, in the ironically timeless novel 1984, Winston Smith learns that the Party has finally done away with martyrdom.

I do not remember the words exactly but it is something to the effect of:

“The Communist and the Nazis made an error in allowing there to me martyrs. Here, there are no martyrs.. We squeeze you until you are one of us before we vaporize you...”

No, it is not a quote, but it could have been.

It is bad PR for there to be martyrs.

The idea is an endless war to bleed off surplus and maintain social stratification.

Battles are to be fought in proxy zones. Capital and surplus are to be destroyed under moral, patriotic guise.

We are not to know much at all about the enemy, his philosophy, his position, lest we discover how his ruling class is doing to his people what ours is doing to us.

We are only to hate him.

And he is to hate us, hate NATO... Hate something, and die, and destroy.

We are at war with Russia and we have always been at war with Russia.

You keep posting that as though you think it is relevant, it isn’t.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

You wanted a war, and you got your war.

War is Hell.

[kiryandil]

Thanks for posting that [https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2023/03/another_pulitzer_prize_discredited_as_propaganda.html].

It's very relevant - showing that CONTEXT is everything.

[FroedrickVonFreepenstein]

Am I missing something because I don’t see anyone getting shot in that video.

[Greetings_Puny_Humans]

Yeah, the question is Cui Bono and there’s no reason why Russia would tape and release something like this

Russians have even been selling snuff videos, Wagner in particular. There are tons of torture and murder videos put out by these people.

And as for this video, I don't know how you fake a Ukrainian soldier getting riddled with bullets, including seeing holes put into his skull.

But in the eyes of FReepers, everything is a conspiracy, and there is no such thing as subhuman Russian trash, produced by Communism's negative evolutionary selection, getting off on torture and murder despite all the evidence to the contrary.

It’ll probably be removed soon. If it’s not there by the time you click it, you’ll have to find a new source.

“summary of an opposing view”

Outright bullshit from a Russian twitter bot making stuff up on the fly, gladly shoveled into the mouths of degenerate FReepers.

It’s shocking that there are still pro union advocates. The Founders would have seceded a long time ago.
