The video was originally shared on the Telegram social networking app. The New York Times reported that they had verified the video, and the BBC said it had confirmed the location north of Dmytrivka and found satellite imagery showing corpses on the ground. In the video, at least three men in camouflage, including one with a head injury and his hands tied behind his back, are seen dead next to a fourth man, who is breathing heavily with a jacket covering his head. “She is still alive. Capture these raiders. Look, he’s still alive. “He’s panting,” a man in the video was heard saying in Russian – a language widely spoken in Ukraine. A soldier then shoots him twice in the head. It keeps moving, so the soldier shoots again and stops. Then a soldier is heard shouting “Glory to Ukraine.” A man responds with the phrase: “Glory to the heroes”. The sound ends with a man saying: “Do not [expletive] come to our land “. The living soldiers in the video are wearing the Ukrainian colors of blue and yellow in their hands, while the men on the floor are wearing white armbands, the color of Russian troops. A few meters away from the corpses is a BMD-2 infantry fighting vehicle used by the Russian airborne unit. BBC investigators have tried to biometrically match the face of one of the men in the video, who appears to be looking at the camera with a distinctive beard. They found a match with a Georgian with close ties to Ukraine, but his identity has not yet been confirmed. The TV station believes that the word “Gruziny” – meaning Georgian in Russian – can also be heard. The scenes in the video match the scenery in the Google Street View of the main road outside Dmytrivka, which is located about seven miles southwest of Bucha with roads to Irpin. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba said on Thursday that he was aware of the video and that “it will definitely be investigated.” NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said he had not seen the video, but said: war crime is always unacceptable. “ A war crime is defined by the United Nations as a serious violation of international law committed against civilians or hostile forces during an armed conflict. The video comes days after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy accused the Russian military of committing the worst war crimes since World War II after the discovery of mass graves of civilians in Bucha, a town 15 miles north of Kiev.
