What we know about that video:
- Guy is smoking his last cigarette
- He is not scared
- He seems to know these people
- He is not tied up
- He is not beat up or anything
-> This is all very unusual if you watch other POW scenarios.
What we know in general:
- Videos are posted usually by the perpetrator/owner side.
- Earliest release of the video I could find was at 12:51 CET
by a pro UA "news" channel sharing content in English.
- Ukrainian soldiers revolted around Bakhmut
- Ukrainian soldiers executed their own before
- Ukrainians filmed and posted executions
So, this video looks to me like the execution:
1) of a Ukrainian soldier by his own for not following orders
2) of a Ukrainian officer by his soldiers for giving suicidal orders
-> What seems more likely to me.
You would say that wouldn’t you.
