Different angle. Looks like what appears to be Ukrainian on Ukrainian friendly fire (check the uniforms and vehicles). Killed the driver of a military truck thinking he was Russian.
Guess that's what happens when you tell an armed civilian population that Russians are dressed as "saboteurs" in Ukrainian uniforms.
Those Ukrainians who shot the unarmed guy in the Ukrainian uniform (whether UKR or RUS) who was surrendering ought to be charged with war crimes.

Military experts are having a lot of their analyses colored by how many likes and retweets they can get on social media. It's expertise driven by popular consensus. A shame, because they're not giving us a proper read on the situation in Ukraine/Russia.
They're wishcasting, playing into the Marvel Cinematic Universe superhero narrative of some Ghost of Kiev coming to save the day, defeating the Ancient Evil that's invaded Ukraine's borders. No one wants Ukraine to lose, but we have to be realistic about their options.
There is no Ghost of Tsushima to save Japan from the Mongols in real life.
The mythmaking surrounding Ukraine is well beyond the border of absurdity. Until the war happened all anyone would do was make fun of it for being poor and mock the women for being prostitutes, all thanks to government corruption, consumerism and western degradation.
Now everyone loves it. Hashtags, avatars and flags in bio. None of them will care in a few weeks. Onto the next trend. Hashtag BringBackOurGirls (they were never rescued), hashtag StopKony2012 (he’s relaxing in a villa somewhere), hashtag IAmMalala (Taliban back in power).
It’s all a bunch of lies and virtue signaling for people whose emotions flitter from trend to trend. Just something to partake in to fill their empty lives. Something to make them feel important, like they did something good by partaking in the zeitgeist.
Remember this image. Remember what Trudeau did to Canada.
Trudeau is stamping out freedom. One trampled protester at a time.
Remember Ottawa.
Trudeau supporters are falsely claiming the woman who was trampled by police horses in Ottawa threw a bicycle at the police, having spotted it in the video. It’s a wheeled walker for the handicapped and the elderly.
