Part 7/15:
Drone footage corroborates the audio, showing captured soldiers being summarily executed by Russian troops, specifically the Storm unit within the 394th motorized rifle regiment. The tension and frustration of Russian commanders are evident as they repeatedly issue orders to eliminate prisoners, with one commanding officer explicitly stating, “Take the senior, get rid of the others.” A masked soldier is seen executing a disarmed Ukrainian before confirming the kill over radio.
Ukrainian authorities have identified the perpetrators as members of Russian units previously implicated in war crimes, including beheadings. Prosecutors have launched multiple criminal investigations, with many cases involving groups executing POWs, which violates international law.
