They capture how Russia bombs its own troops for surrendering in Ukraine

INTERNATIONAL / By Luis Moreno

A video recorded from the sky showing how Russia bombs its own troops after surrendering in Ukraine was released this weekend via the Telegram messaging service.

As reported by the Mirror, Ukrainian forces have recaptured the village of Andriivka, about ten kilometers south of the Russian-occupied city of Bakhmut, as part of the slow but steady counteroffensive by Ukrainian troops.

The Third Assault Brigade said it surrounded the Russian garrison in what it described as a “lightning operation” and destroyed it within two days. By publishing details of the operation on Telegram, the Brigade shared a clip taken one day after the takeover of the area.

Aerial footage shows Ukrainian soldiers ordering Russian troops to lie on the ground as they surrender, before an explosion suddenly occurs in both forces.

The message read: “Mechanized Battalion Assault Group 2 takes another group of prisoners. At the same time, the enemy, realizing that the village is lost and its soldiers are surrendering en masse, orders to open 'fire of their own.'”

Ukrainian troops involved in the incident are believed to have been unharmed, but the assault unit said one of the Russian soldiers was killed.. and two others could be rescued alive.

The announcement of the recovery of Andriivka came early on Friday from the General Staff of the armed forces of Ukraine. He described the reconquest as an advance on Bakhmut's southern flank and “the key to success in all subsequent directions.”
