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!'.'

Wow. Kyiv is just like LA.
Back in the early days of the war I recall the footage of all of the dead Ukraine civilians dead in the street. Oddly they were all face down with their heads facing away from the camera.
The US gave Russia a huge present in 1996. Russia was given MFN status (Most Favored Nation), waiving most tariffs. China didn’t get that till 2001.
This gave them free access to the US market. But Russia, unlike China, made little use of it. It should have been a route to economic “Tiger” status.
Smoking is bad for you , period
“It’s more like 25% on each side thinks...”
Oh, so moral equivalency?
No thanks.
Russia invaded Ukraine, bombs its cities, murders its people.
Let me know when UKRs are doing this to Russia. Then we can discuss morality and ask who started this.
Don’t care.
America First.
America First.
Kill more Russians, it’s in our national interest to arm Ukraine.
Both sides have soldiers who behaving ‘unethically’. I’m just stating facts. I have a solution, how about Zelensky go to the negotiating table with a Putin. I know Zelensky wrote a law stating it was illegal to do so. But, he can rip it up and be a big boy and do what needs to be done so that more of his soldiers aren’t killed. It’s Hard for me to have any other opinion on the matter until he does this.
COVID death caused by climate change
I won’t read the pro-Russia crap.
Then don’t be surprised if other freepers refuse to read the pro-Ukrainian crap put out by the Western media.
In this picture you only see someone getting shot. You don't see the shooter. So you don't know.
“Yeah, the question is Cui Bono and there’s no reason why Russia would tape and release something like this”
(sigh) It wasn’t “Russia”. It was a Russian. We have idiots here who videotape their own crimes while robbing people, stores, etc. You think the average Russian conscript is any brighter?
Don’t fool yourself about Daily Mail. Especially on this war crap.
Ukraine secret police are executing deserters
Just sayin
Have no idea in validity of video or claims around them but your comment about humane treatment by Russians I have not seen what I do recall seeing is the video of the captured commander who was released looking like a POW from a Japanese prison camp in WW2. Additionally there is evidence of Russians shooting their own for disobedience or not sharing vodka who knows. If they will kill their own not much of a leap to kill Ukrainian POW
it’s war and propaganda rules and the truth is the first thing to go
Yes the random shelling, missile and rocket attacks on civilians is all propaganda, we are here to liberate you from oppressive nazis…
The stuff that is out online from CPs to bases and other opsec stuff is amazing. As I recall a few generals have died as a result of this intel
Why do sick jerks want FR members to watch your snuff films? You are a very sick person.
The video is posted to point out to all what the Free Republic war criminals support.
The sickness on this forum is among those who support the Russian aggression and the Putin régime
So sending 1000s of rockets and missiles to hit civilian targets is designed to not inspire the rest of the world to despise them even more.
Just look every day on the internet for stupid stuff people posted thinking it was a good idea
The idea that this release must have been sanctioned by Russian govt and not some stupid individual looking for 15 minutes of fame, so therefore fake well…
