The BBC today analyzed serious videos coming from the war zone in Ukraine where it is seen how Ukrainian forces apparently shoot to death a Russian-linked soldier.
The footage was filmed on the west street of the capital Kiev, from where Russian forces are withdrawing.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said yesterday that he was aware of the video which “will certainly be investigated”.
The BBC analysis says the video shows four people in military uniforms lying on the ground, one of whom has his hands tied behind his back.
Three of them do not move, while one is still alive, although severely injured. A man says in harsh words “[sharje] Leave it there!” while another responds “I do not want to leave him there.” Then a soldier (whose face is not seen in the video) shoots him several times with bullets until the lying soldier no longer moves.
The video then revolves around showing other soldiers retreating.
All the lying bodies are dressed in military uniforms and have pools of blood next to them.
One of their faces can be seen, while the others are lying face down on the asphalt of the road.
The BBC says it has located the incident on the main road outside the town of Dmytrivka west of Kiev. The road connects Dmytrivka with Irpin e Bucha.
The heavy scenes in the video match the panorama of the area in Google Street View.
Satellite images taken from the site on March 31 appear to show signs of blood on the street.
The day when the video was filmed is not known, but it was made during the afternoon, from the position of the shadows on the street.
The first version of it was released in March, which means it was shot on the afternoon of March 29 or earlier.
Most of the data comes from what is said in the video.
“Here they are, the defenders of the Russian army,” said one of the soldiers standing over the lying bodies.
The video also shows a V-armored vehicle on the side – as Russian troops often mark their vehicles.
Two of the lying men wear armbands often identified with Russian forces in Ukraine.
Around the middle of the time the video shows the face of one of the soldiers, and fainter the two faces of the other two soldiers.
From the available data the face appears to belong to a Georgian with links to Ukraine, but the BBC did not name him due to uncertainty of computer identification.
As the camera squints at the bearded man, another shouts “Long live Ukraine,” to which the bearded man responds in the same way. Someone further mentions the word “Gruziny” which in Russian means “Georgian”.
The audio ends with a man saying: “Do not come to our country anymore (swearing).”
The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense has not yet commented on the footage.
