Warning: this post contains distressing content. A shocking video has emerged of the Ukrainian military apparently bombing their own civilians in an attempt to prevent them evacuated by Russian forces. Russian scouts apparently found a group of civilians seeking rescue, trapped in the town of Volchansk. Two men, one of whom was wounded, trapped in the ruins, who had used their last strength to write large ‘SOS’ messages using sheet metal. The scouts sent a quadcopter and dropped a first aid kit, water, and a note: follow the drone to safety. The men wore white, speculated by journalist and Moscow City Duma deputy Andrei Medvedev (who broke the story) as a way to indicate their peaceful surrender. As the men emerged into the open, one visibly wounded, slowly following the drone to safety, a second quadcopter, allegedly Ukrainian, also saw them attempting to flee. It decided to drop its own supplies: mines. The resulting explosion ensured the evacuation ended there and then, with the men’s brutal, needless deaths.
