The shocking footage was reportedly filmed near Avdiivka and was posted to social media by several Ukrainian bloggers.
Video has emerged appearing to show Russian troops gunning down two Ukrainian soldiers as they surrender.
The footage – reportedly filmed near Avdiivka – shows one man emerging from a dugout with his hands above his head before lying face down on the ground.
A few feet from the entrance, several Russian soldiers crouch down pointing their guns.
A few moments later a second Ukrainian soldier emerges. As he struggles out, the Russian soldiers open fire.
I find it interesting that the people ripping apart Biden for “supporting genocide” completely forgot about Ukraine. If Trump had won, there would be genocides in both Palestine and Ukraine.
You can absolutely criticize Biden’s position regarding Israel even if you intend to vote for him as the lesser trouble.
Yeah But on Lemmy, that’s not the take. I’ve stopped opening threads on the conflict after reading articles because it’s so obnoxious. I absolutely agree with you for the record.
Their whole personality is being AGAINST something and not being for something since that would potentially make them vulnerable for criticism
I’m convinced they’re just brainwashed tankies or psyop operators or some shit.
There already is genocide in both those places…
I find it funny that Americans can’t even bother thinking about anyone else except two extremely shit choices.
Found the Russian. The difference is night and day.
In occupied regions where Russians have stolen children, murdered entire families, and forcibly relocated people and that is not comparable to you?
And you say I’m the Russian? Get off it mate.
From the looks of it Trump is some how going to be president again if he isn’t in jail before then .
No, from the looks of it the next presidential election is a year away and there’s plenty of time for stuff to change.
The polls right now are close to split anyway, so even if it was right now there’s no certainty.
The polls being so close after all of it is actually insane.
I’m older than dirt and have seen lots o’ presidential elections. Polls this far out, for the general election, are utterly meaningless.
Hell, they were mostly meaningless for the last few major elections. If I remember right, they predicted Hillary would win for months before the election. Then when Biden ran against Trump, they were inconclusive and changed week by week so were again useless. Definitely didn’t predict what we got there. Same thing with the recent midterm election. They got issue 1 in Ohio right but it seems they can only predict minor landslides at best at the moment.
Biden will run on federally legal abortion and nothing else will matter.
Then do absolutely nothing about it if reelected. Rince and repeat every election. Anyone that still falls for that tactic is a fucking idiot.
I know there are a lot of innocent conscripted Russians who don’t want to be there any more than I want them to be there.
Stuff like this makes it really easy to feel that’s not true, like Russia is monolithic and evil.
They’ve committed and continue to commit so many atrocities. Something is deeply wrong there beyond just the megalomaniacal despot at the top.
Read any objective book of russian history and you’ll see it yourself. There was a reason Ukrainians called USSR the prison of nations.
Why hesitate? They went through the trouble to sow the seeds, tending to them carefully to ensure strong growth, and now that they’re finally bearing the fruits of their labour they don’t like the way it tastes? They want to take it back? Tough titties. Russia has sown a lifetime of hate, and that’s exactly what they’ll reap.
Russian government is not the Russian people. For the last 30 years or so, the only bad coming out of Russia was trade wars and proxy wars, all exclusively perpetuated by the elite. The general masses were innocent.
The problem now is that the general public is complicit with this war war. Those that haven’t fled or rioted.
And their soldiers are committing unspeakable horrors beyond the bare “necessities” of war. Torture, rape, genocide. It’s sadistic what they have done.
I felt compassion for the first wave of unwitting soldiers who suddenly found themselves in a war, many from poor rural territories where joining the military was the only feasible way to provide for their family.
Now? Not so much.

This is a really dumb take. Yes, there’s plenty of psychopaths in Russia, and I’m cheering for Ukraine to kick them out. Still we know there’s plenty of people who don’t want to be fighting.
you are unfortunately a little innocent
You are engaging in prejudice and stereotype.
i am simply watching, whereas you are not apparently… people inside Russia seem to have an amazing capacity for ignoring what’s happening…
lol ok
You’re still engaging in prejudice and stereotype.
Not sure where you got something out of that to judge me, but I guess I’m not surprised.
you want to cry persecution, it’s so precious
hundreds of thousands of dead Russians isn’t bothering you apparently, but a few harsh words on the internet, that’s too much to bear i guess… it only makes sense, have to hold onto something…
….When your old war gets knocked off the front pages by the new war .
